MDP310 Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 And the Monster, itself, is a reference to the RX-75 Guntank. Rediculously huge cannons on the shoulders? Check. Missile launcher arms? Check. Abysmally slow? Hoo-boy, check. Holy crap, you're right. I never noticed that. Quote

I never noticed that. Not to mention, the hero is always assigned to defend them in his smaller, more agile, nearly-indestructible, bipedal mech. Quote

akt_m Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Honestly, I'm not seeing much. Perhaps vague coincidental similarities, at best. I wouldn't call it strong influence or homage. The only strong link I've noticed between the franchises has been the Banshees from Halo and the Battle Pod (Commander Type) from Macross II. I discussed this once with Seto. Not only do the two share many similar hull shapes (especially the whole dorsal fuselage), but they also share similar color schemes and the method of pilot entrance/egress is nearly identical. I see no resemblance. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Basquash ep 7 VF-1 along with Ecaflowne among Dan's junk. Wow... You know, that reminds me: There was a VF in the last episode of G Gundam. Quote

Macross007 Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Basquash ep 7 VF-1 along with Ecaflowne among Dan's junk. Great, that series is never going to have an official worldwide release. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 ? ? Yeah, it flashed in the background for half a second, along with the original Gundam, Wing Zero, and something else, I can't remember what. Quote
Beltane70 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Great, that series is never going to have an official worldwide release. Eh, that would be pretty easy to edit out if needed. Quote
dreamweaver13 Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Basquash ep 7 VF-1 along with Ecaflowne among Dan's junk. cool! Edited May 18, 2009 by dreamweaver13 Quote
Letigre Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I'm shaoked no one has mentioned this already, but Jetstorm and the Vehicon Aerial drones in Beast Machines resemble the Macross Plus fighters- resembling some of the features of the YF-21 Battroid in bot mode and looking near identical to the YF-19 fighter mode in their vehicle mode. The seekers in Transformers animated themselves too bear a strong resemblence to the YF-19 as well. Quote

I was gonna get one for the lulz, but it was $30. I don't have $30 for Transformers! Quote
RogueTrooper Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Basquash ep 7 VF-1 along with Ecaflowne among Dan's junk. I was wondering if the money they have in earthdash has a imagine og Kawamori on it. Just looked basguash up on wiki and it turns out he came up with the original concept. Finished watching Eureke seven, noticed a few references there, big one is when Eureka falling and Reenton catches her and pulls her into the cokpit Charles and Ray have matching blue and red mecha with matching white strips alsa Max and Milia Quote

dreamweaver13 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 In the other thread, someone also pointed out that a new haruhi episode made reference to Kakizaki and and itano circus. Speaking of references, i remember this particular scene in Tora Dora when one of the supporting characters (Haruta) dressed up in girl's clothes, and i could swear he did a "kira" pose (along with the star for effect). i'll try to get a screencap later, but for those who've seen Toradora, was it a kira pose? is it even possible that it was a reference; after all, what came first, MF or ToraDora?

nexxstrait Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Astounding Macross reference in District 9 towards the end of the movie (I know, it's not an anime, but who cares). Won't spoil it for you, see for yourselves (can't miss it) Quote
Knight26 Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 In season-2 of Dexter, I forget the episode, the one where the comic shop owner is killed, there is a made up poster just inside the door that looks like the old Macross/Robotech poster you see in most comic shops. Quote

dreamweaver13 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 Finally saw the Kakizaki/Itano circus reference by Kyon in the new Haruhi Suzumiya. cool. Quote
dreamweaver13 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 Macross parody for sure What show is that? Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Even the Japanese characters there are similar to マクãƒã‚¹... What is that oddball character? Or am I just seeing it wrong? Quote
Gubaba Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Even the Japanese characters there are similar to マクãƒã‚¹... What is that oddball character? Or am I just seeing it wrong? The writing there says "ANALOG." Quote
Vifam7 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 What show is that? It's from Zettai Karen Children (Episode 42). Same episode also had this: From Episode 27 : Quote
blacklotus Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 It's from Zettai Karen Children (Episode 42). Same episode also had this: From Episode 27 : WOOT! Ranka! Nyan Nyan Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 That meme is way too overly used lately... At least this time it's done somewhat originally... Quote
Protoculture Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Macross parody for sure That is the more pure blatant Macross homage in an anime, dear sir, a pure win, eversince the SDC Orguss animators blatantly put Minmay & bridge bunnies plus nekkid Misa & a crate containing VF-1J in Orguss back in 1980s.

VFTF1 Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 In the other thread, someone also pointed out that a new haruhi episode made reference to Kakizaki and and itano circus. And I do hope that someone here has already mentioned that an older Haruhi episode made reference to Firebomber? Pete Quote
dreamweaver13 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 And I do hope that someone here has already mentioned that an older Haruhi episode made reference to Firebomber? Pete The very first post. Quote
Ghost Train Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 The wording, conviction, and tone of those words was definitely a reference to Macross (Really have to hear it as a sc cannot do it justice) Also.... 5 minutes earlier: The anime is Kämpfer, best fracking series this fall! Quote
Einherjar Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Macross-Inspired Doctor Who Anime Exterminates Our Eyeballs Eh, I don't know. Quote
Save Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Rescue Me Mave Chan. The anime actually address the current trend with anime fans in Japan, well the anime is about 4 years old so I guess they forecasted the trend. As usual badly dubbed scene at 7:28. Quote
RedWolf Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Does anybody have that scene in Nadesico where Akito bumps into Flower Girl? Quote
Vepariga Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Macross-Inspired Doctor Who Anime Exterminates Our Eyeballs Eh, I don't know. yeah i dont know about that, sure the cyber-men did some cool stuff but....i dont think i could sit down and watch a anime version of jon pertwee doing kung fu along side a bikini wearing companion.

dreamweaver13 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 Does anybody have that scene in Nadesico where Akito bumps into Flower Girl? Flower girl? Is this the spoiled girl in the island (that looks like south ataria)? or is it someone else? anyway, i didn't catch that reference. Quote
