YF-29 Durandal Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Japan is really a funky place, too bad that they hate non-japanese people because I would really like to live there. Quote
sketchley Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Japan is really a funky place, too bad that they hate non-japanese people because I would really like to live there. Don't let the few bad apples spoil it for you (the same holds true for any country, anywhere). Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Looks more like an Invid to me but so does Vajra.. Quote
antibiotictab Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Japan is really a funky place, too bad that they hate non-japanese people because I would really like to live there. I actually hate baka gaijins; impolite, rude, arrogant guys. For example, some English teachers hanging around Roppongi. They are hated by non-Japanese businessmen, too. I distinguish those guys from usual non-Japanese people. Quote
Beltane70 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Japan is really a funky place, too bad that they hate non-japanese people because I would really like to live there. I have many non-Japanese friends that are currently living in Japan and get along quite well with the locals. Quote
Jefuemon Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Japan is really a funky place, too bad that they hate non-japanese people because I would really like to live there. Been here almost 10 years, and the worst I've had is people not sitting next to me on the train. Quote
Gubaba Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Yeah, I've seen plenty of IGNORANCE, but very little HATE. The "Wow, you use chopsticks really well!" comments get annoying, but they're not hateful. Quote
Freiflug88 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Looks more like an Invid to me but so does Vajra.. Aside from the organic shaped armor I don't see how the insect Vajira and crab Invid mecha look anything alike. None of the Invid mecha had thoraces, wings, segmented eyes or antennas of insects. On top of that all Invid mecha and the Invid foot soldiers themselves were shown with only two legs. Quote

It doesn't have to look exactly alike to remind me but hard shell foot soldiers being controlled in a hive mind with a queen does evoke images of the Invid..

VF5SS Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 no that's Starship Troopers would you like to know more? Quote
Gubaba Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 no that's Starship Troopers would you like to know more? Indeed. Terry the Lone Wolf, this is for you: http://www.collectiondx.com/blog/vf5ss/veef_show_episode_episode_57_two_shows_are_not_b_c_k Quote
Freiflug88 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 hard shell foot soldiers being controlled in a hive mind with a queen does evoke images of the Invid.. I will give you that the Robotech version (which introduced many of us to the Original source material) did invoke a portrayal of a queen led hive mind with her constant voiceover explaining the Invids' actions and filling in the silent moments. Anyway I feel things have gotten a bit off topic... Scans the interwebs for more Macross easter eggs... Quote
Cdr Fokker Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 To get us back on topic, something that I should have posted here years ago... Not entirely a "weird place" to me, since they're my own plates, but would surely qualify if one of you had seen them in the wild. These were the personalized plates I got when I moved to Ohio. Decided to switch to a different option when I bought a new car in 2011, but of course I've kept the old plates around. (Discussion of the reference on the new plates would fall into our "weapons banter" thread. ) Quote
Vepariga Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 On Star Wars The Clone Wars facebook page today... The barrels on the sides of Pre Vizsla's helmet design is partially inspired by an unused Doug Chiang drawing for a clone trooper helmet made for Episode II, as well as the head cannons found on the Veritech fighter seen in the Robotech/Macross series. It serves to make Vizsla stand out even more as Death Watch leader. Quote
Keith Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 On Star Wars The Clone Wars facebook page today... Oh please HG, try to threaten Disney over this, I want to see them toss you into a legal black hole! Quote

Kelsain Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I think he would have looked better as Cpt. Wilder or Mr Bilrer. Love the Pixis outfit, though. Quote
Marzan Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 A dude older than my dad cosplaying like Ozma Lee? Gotta love it! Quote
Keith Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I was walking through the parking lot at my work today to go get lunch, wearing my MW VF-1A on launch arm shirt, when someone walking buy says "Nice shirt." I look, and see that he's wearing a Macross line art with SDF-1 written on it shirt, lol. Quote
Tochiro Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Definitely some macross influence in at least one of these pics...http://kotaku.com/dreaming-of-giant-transforming-fighter-planes-1542697020/all Quote
frothymug Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 There's that one picture that looks like a combination of the Dai-Gurren and the SDF-1. I believe he even comments on that article that he's a huge fan of Macross. Quote
Gerli Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Also in the last episode of no-Rin NEVER try the Alto's ending... NEVER FRONTIEEEEEEEEER!!!! Edited March 30, 2014 by Gerli Quote
VF5SS Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Aya Endo voices one of the characters in the Kantai Collection browser based game and it seems like no coincidence that the Bismarck looks and acts like Sheryl Nome. She's even got the haughty attitude. http://youtu.be/5BPse_QGI9s?t=6m43s She shows up around 6:43 in this video. some fans have even made crossover art because of the similarities.

Nekko Basara Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 So, which holographic Disney princess do you think Yang would most want to hijack? Quote
Scyla Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 In addition with some imagination the blue light has the shape of the SDF-1 with the rail guns on the shoulders as smoke trails. I might be loosing my mind tough. Quote
Gubaba Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I might be loosing my mind tough. You are. But it's okay. Quote
