Now Viewing: itano_circusTag type: General Refers to images that show or reference the distinctive missile attack from the Macross franchise, and first appeared in the original Macross series, Choujikuu_Yousai_Macross. The attack is named after animator Itano_Ichirou who came up with this attack pattern and involves the Valkyries launching an enormous barrage of missiles which proceed to home in on the target. This often results in some mini-chase scenes as the target tries to dodge and outrun the missiles. This attack is frequently homaged and parodied in anime and video games. Itano was inspired by the 1972 series Android Kikaider when he created this attack. He was specifically influenced by Hakaider's motorcycle missile attack, which inspired him to make a game where he attached rocket fireworks to his car, and launched them all at once on the seashore. Itano observed that he found the chase the missiles caused was more fun than the actual attack itself and he later adapted this game he made to his animation work.
