Keith Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 That's brilliant, they should have included that as a DVD extra. Quote
sketchley Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) It looks legit, however it is rare for a CM about anime to include live action/actors. Mind you, given the age of the actor, and his salaryman look, I'm guessing that this was aimed at the kids who saw the first run of SDF:M and have grown up. I have no inkling if this was a main stream CM or not, however what is note worthy is that on more than a couple dozen occasions, I have heard Macross Zero music clips being used in all manner of TV shows (especially in the all-pervasive Variety Shows.) EDIT: for those that don't know: I am in Japan, and this post refers to Japan. Edited May 13, 2007 by sketchley Quote
Sumdumgai Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 hmmm maybe I should start playing with my food like that... Looks like fun! Quote
Aegis! Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 I really don´t know if this is funny or sad. No wonder Macross does so badly in Japan nowadays Quote
theplasticwerks Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 Well, Culture is to be feared for a reason... Quote
T.V. Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Pretty funny. Especially how he 'launched' his drink. As said, seems to be aimed at grown-ups-who-were-fans-as-kids-of-the-original indeed. Quote
Lightning Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 ooo.....that's bad/funny....his expressions were even better though. Quote
Murphy Posted May 14, 2007 Author Posted May 14, 2007 hey could somebody translate what hes whining about at the beginning? Quote
T.V. Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 hey could somebody translate what hes whining about at the beginning? "I'm no good." if I'm not mistaken. Then again, my exposure to Japanese has been limited to anime.. Quote
UN Spacy Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 BTW. Whoever edited it should be fired. Anyone else see the mistakes? Quote
kensei Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 "I'm no good." if I'm not mistaken. Then again, my exposure to Japanese has been limited to anime.. I thought that he was actually criticising the food. Pretty odd that a Japanese dude would eat sandwiches in what looks like a fairly high class restaurant. Quote
T.V. Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Well, he says "Ore wa dame da," if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps they're premium sandwiches, costing more because they're autotransforming.. Quote
kensei Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Yeah, the ore is what confuses me, meaning that he was referring to himself. I'll stop guessing here, my Japanese doesn't go too far. Quote
sketchley Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 "I'm lost." "I'm at wits end." Basically he's over stressed, over tired, and in need of a Macross fix to get back to whatever pleasant place Macross takes us. The restaurant is pretty middle of the road, BTW. It's neither low class (tablecloth) nor high class (piss poor cutlery and plates.) Given the quality of food, and poor lighting, it looks like a high low class, or a low middle class restauarant. Please also keep in mind that North American food is foreign food. Thus, it is held in the same light as foreign food in your country (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, French, Italian, Mexican, Greek, etc..) Correction: the more exotic foreign foods in your country. Quote
kensei Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 But sandwiches? Begs the question why didn't he choose Steak Diane, Chicken Parmigana, Lasagne, or Souvalaki? Look at us. Playing detectives over a cartoon commercial. Quote
sketchley Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Because none of those can be made into a jet shape without making a mess. Quote
JB0 Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Because none of those can be made into a jet shape without making a mess. As if making a mess ever stopped anyone from playing with their food. Quote
