aerocombatpilot Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 It appears Haruhiko Mikimoto is already welcoming 2010! I can't think of a BETTER way to welcome 2010. Way to go HAL!!!!!
Seto Kaiba Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Hmmm... how can I display my approval for this image with the proper dignity and gravitas? L-O-V-E! HAP-PY MI-SA!
MastaEgg Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 from KAMCAO's deviantart gallery! Wow. They actually managed to make Ranka look just as good as Sheryl. *Frontier character designers, take note of this*
Marzan Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 It appears Haruhiko Mikimoto is already welcoming 2010! Just back from my holiday and found this beautiful pic you've posted. Thanks!! The characters look great. Kinda upgraded yet really close to the original. But Minmei get's a super upgrade compared to some of the others!
BeyondTheGrave Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 DARTH RANKA!!!! So she's Vader's super secret "apprentice"?
David Hingtgen Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 It's one-half a step away from being a valk-girl.

Gubaba Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 What the hell? I just met up with one of my friends visiting from Japan earlier today, and she gave me some stuff I had ordered, including the Macross Dynamite 7 novels. The picture you posted is the cover of Volume 1. I'd never seen it before, and no I've seen it in two different places in the same day...? Weird.

I've got this as a poster from a old NEWTYPE mag, I can't remember which issue.
veffidas Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) It's been around. There's even an official pencil board and telephone card featuring the image. Edited January 3, 2010 by veffidas
Gubaba Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 One of the other things my friend brought for me today was the VF-x soundtrack... Seriously, if you post the cover of any of the OTHER things she brought for me today, I'm gonna be more than a little freaked out.
Chronocidal Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) And the Valkgirl Leekspin would be next, I assume? Oh wow.. my brain just did a crazy mashup mid-thought, and now I'm imagining Miku Apple. And if you used the latest Miku design style.. it could actually work.

Marzan Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 It's been around. There's even an official pencil board and telephone card featuring the image. Nice art. I suppose Elma is another of the Jenus sisters? (As if the green hair didn't give anything away)...
RedWolf Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Nice art. I suppose Elma is another of the Jenus sisters? (As if the green hair didn't give anything away)... Nope. Totally unrelated. Oh Gubaba either its a coincidence or I'm screwing around with your head.
Gubaba Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Oh Gubaba either its a coincidence or I'm screwing around with your head. Well, keep going then: two down, four to go.
Marzan Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Nope. Totally unrelated. Oh Gubaba either its a coincidence or I'm screwing around with your head. Oh that's right..that's Elma from Dynamite. I was just thrown off by the fact that she was depicted together with Mylene. Just couldn't connect the dots... And please stop messing with poor Gubaba!

shiroth Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 It really is a shame there isn't much Elma or her sister official art outside the DVD covers.
Gubaba Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I've decided to give some appreciation to the most under-appreciated Macross cast ever:
VFTF1 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 May I just say that I adore that Super Robot Wars picture - although other than Katsugari and Minmey...I'm not sure about the rest of the girls - help? And Gubaba... underappreciated is right!! Is that...I dunno...flashback 2012?? Who are they?! Pete
VFTF1 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Generation? What's that??? *takes closer look* I know!! It's Macross and the Mob - when Minmey acquires the ...protection of the Gambino family on the Megaroad 1. Mess with this broad and you got a problem bub. Give this dame a chance to sing, or find a horse's bloody head in yer bed mack. I got an offer you can't refuse jack. Minmey sings - or they'll be playin' the church organ with yer ribs. Pete
Gubaba Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) Generation? What's that??? A radio drama series. It's not very good, unfortunately. It's 2047, on the Macross 9 Fleet. Passel (the white-haired girl on the first album cover) wants to be a singer like her idol, Canary Minmay (the purple-haired girl on the second cover) (and no, I'm not making up that name). Meanwhile, she meets Rafale (the guy on the first cover), a cosmo-bike racer. But Passel's bitchy friend Liza (the girl with the hat) tries to steal him away. And two mafiosos (on the second cover) are hunting for him too. A Valkyrie crashes at the end, and everyone listens to Passel's song. EDIT: Amazingly, VFTF1's guesses aren't too far off, really. Edited January 4, 2010 by Gubaba
VFTF1 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 And two mafiosos CALLED IT BEFORE YOUR REVELATION!! Am I good or what? Pete
Marzan Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 And two mafiosos (on the second cover) are hunting for him too. It's good to see that the double breasted blazer jacket is still a gangster staple in 2047! Thanks for the pics. Have to confess I'd never seen these characters before...
Gubaba Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) CALLED IT BEFORE YOUR REVELATION!! Am I good or what? Pete Strangely, the second mafioso (the one on the far right) is voiced by the same guy that does Gamlin. (And he also plays a guy with the odd name of "El Niño Gumpy" on one or two of the Macross 7 drama albums. Even the guy who plays Honey Suzuki gets a role on those, as "Professor Bunny" (and yes, he DOES INDEED say, "Please...call me 'Bunny'").) There's also a VERY minor character in Macross Generation who gets voiced by Kaifun's actor. And Rafale is voiced by Shinji Ikari's voice actress. She even gets to sing "Runner" in the last episode. Edited January 4, 2010 by Gubaba
Gubaba Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks for the pics. Have to confess I'd never seen these characters before... The radio dramas have a wealth of strange characters that never appear anywhere else. The aforementioned El Niño Gumpy and Professor Bunny, Lark Skybeauty and Panther, a "computer ghost"...the list goes on. And weirdly, the Flower Girl is the main character in some of them.
VFTF1 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 And Rafale is voiced by Shinji Ikari's voice actress Shinji Ikari is voiced by a woman??? that's actually kind of awesome Pete
