Jester Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 http://www.anime.net/macross/characters/g/...emma/index.html Conclusive proof that Kawamori-San is a Harry Potter fan Quote
the white drew carey Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Well, we don't know if it was Kawamori who came up with the character (or do we?)... but that's still pretty neat. Quote
mikeszekely Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Not too suprising, I thought like three out of four people were Harry Potter Fans. Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 WTF!!!!! Say it isn't Shoji, say it isn't so. Quote
Aegis! Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Why God , Why ? Though , he might just be a fan of the actress herslef rather than that f***ing little w***ing wizard aka Harry Potter... Quote
Prime Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Whew! I'll sleep better knowing this mystery has been solved... Quote

Agent ONE Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Maybe Basara was modeled after Harry Potter! Or a cross between a fairy and Harry Potter. Quote
Mechamaniac Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 LOL, I always thought Basara bore a striking resemblance to Harry... Or could it be that JK Rowling is a Macross fan??? Macross 7 predates Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by 4 years after all . Quote
MjrMisaHayase Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 http://www.anime.net/macross/characters/g/...emma/index.htmlConclusive proof that Kawamori-San is a Harry Potter fan Now that the next Macross game will be released on the PS2, I might consider getting mine modded. Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Him and half of Japan, to be fair... ( when you travel about five hundred miles in a completely foreign country and meet three different people all of whom are Harry Potter fans, it kinda makes any argument about whether the books are any good rather redundant... ) I can't wait to hear the radio chatter now! "Skull One, Angels Twenty, vector three hundred, estimate bandits six million plus, over." "Copy, Macross. Skull One to Skull flight, bandits at six o'clock high, climb at buster and engage. Tally Ho, and get Hikaru to put the kettle on, Emma, we'll be back in time for tea!" Quote

GobotFool Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Eh? My respect for him just went down alot. Just cause he likes something you don't? Quote

Wes Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Guys, it probably wasn't his idea... <_< ...at least I hope. Quote
twich Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 So what if he likes Harry Potter? I like Harry Potter...does that mean that I have all of a sudden lost my twig and berries and am now Fru-Fru? Or am I mentally challenged? If you like it fine, if you don't, why do you have to cast insults just because you happen to not like Harry Potter.....kinda like the whole Yamato toy thing.....get off it and move on. You make baby Kawamori cry people Twich(smhnsylcw) Quote

Saying you lost respect for someone isn't the same as insulting him. <_< Quote
Pat Payne Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Guys, I'm putting this in the "coincidence" column unless there's some proof that the HFH or whoever named the character was influenced by Harry Potter rather than "Gee, doesn't Emma Granger sound like a cool name?" Quote
Jemstone Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Hello... Harry Potter came AFTER Macross 7 and well after the original Macross. <_< It's just a coincedence that the actress who plays Hermione Granger's name is really Emma. If anything this would suggest JK Rowling is a Macross fan. Quote
EXO Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Hey! a friend I met in college is named Emma Granger... maybe she's Kawamori and J.K. Rowling's lovechild... Man, I didn't even think about the Macross thing when I knew her... Quote

jgrose Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Another anime creator who is a know Harry Potter fan is 'Digi Charat' artist Koge Donbo. She even did a few Harry Potter doujinshi books. http://www.kewlplaces.net/fanpics/RD/index.htm There are even Harry Potter 'yaoi' doujinshi available in Japan as well... and those are just plain scary...

Hmmm... actually, the character in question is the bridge bunny to be featured in the upcoming Macross PS2 game. If I'm not mistaken, the Harry Porter books are out already, so anything is possible.

( when you travel about five hundred miles in a completely foreign country and meet three different people all of whom are Harry Potter fans, it kinda makes any argument about whether the books are any good rather redundant... ) There is a distinct difference between something being 'good' and something being 'popular'. Just beacuse the masses like something, does not make it good. The Spice Girls & Britney Spears are two examples that spring to mind. But anyway, I digress, that is a discussion for another time. Graham (not a Harry Potter fan). Quote
yellowlightman Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Keep in mind Kawamori also doesn't have as much control over this game as he has previous games. Egan Loo said he'll be watching the development of it, but won't be directly involved in the story. Quote

Keith Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Let's forget all this nonsense, and remember Kawarmori the Gundam fan.....ahhhh much better. To be fair, I did give harry potter a chance, sat through the sorcerers stone, and found it boring & super weak. If only all movies ended with the "hero" falling a sleep & spontaniously beating their enemies! Quote

Graham (not a Harry Potter fan). I'm well aware of that, Graham, but I do think that the amount of publicity around the books does rather obscure the fact that they are, more or less, pretty good reads ( its also been pointed out that Britney Spears single "Hit me baby one more time!" is actually a pretty good song - by a British band called Travis, who did a slightly spoof cover version that has been remarked as sounding as if loneliness really is killing the singer... ) I'm not claiming that they're the greatest things ever written, but that doesn't make them bad either, and the impression I've got of J.K. Rowling is that she deserves at least some of her success. Also, we British do tend to be very hard on the successful, and I think its great that a British export has become so well known all over the World. But, as you say, this isn't really the place and arguments like this do tend to go round and round in circles. Maybe we should move on to wondering when the VF-0 Hoki no e Varible Broomstick will make an entrance in Macross Zero... Edit: a further thought or two: perhaps anime fans more than others may appreciate the value of a story as a bridge between languages or cultures, as well. Rowlings England isn't the England I live in, just as the Japan of, say, Love! Hina isn't exactly the Japan I've visited. But a sense of the countries they're set in is there, and the generation of interest in other places hopefully works in two directions... Edited October 8, 2003 by F-ZeroOne Quote

Welcome to the wonderful distinction between entertainment (popularity with the masses) and art (popular with critics and peers).... Either way, I actually dig Harry Potter quite a bit... I enjoy the writing, the films, etc. So to me, it would be both "good" and "popular." But to each their own opinion. Heaven forbid if any of us were swayed by those who feel that anime is crap and Macross is, in particular, old crap. Quote
