Too exhausted and busy to write meta or answer Asks right now. Really sorry everyone. Work plus outdoor yard things and house things are devouring me right now. Also, trying to track down the source of the image below:
Above: Art of Kamjin/Quamzin Kravshera and Laplamiz from Macross (Khyron and Azonia from Robotech) have a child and their child is playing with some people who might be Max and Miria (and their children) but might not be. Artist is Haruhiko Mikimoto.
I’ve seen it referenced in a few places , and it’s supposedly from Animage 1983 Vol...? (月刊アニメージュ 83年(多分)7月か8月号付録)
It’s really bizarre, and I recall something from the Macross 2036 PC Engine Duo game that Kamjin survived his and Laplamiz’s suicide attack on the SDF, and now this is driving me crazy because it’s not in any of my Macross artbooks, and I asked some fans who collect more heavily than I do (that’s not hard to do as Macross isn’t a priority for me) and they’ve never seen it either.
The two places (Japanese Macross fandom wiki and a fan blog) mention that in the original cut of the series, that Kamjin and Laplamiz would have survived. I recently saw something about this art used for an alt-ending novel, but I don’t know if that’s true.
I don’t have energy to explain more than that, but now I’m hunting for Animage magazines from 1983 (presumably the August edition?). When I first saw the art, the text was not with it, so I believe that art must appear in an art book, and the image above is from an advertisement in a magazine.
Maybe I can find the time/energy to try and translate the text in this image.
LOLSOB.
EDIT/UPDATE: I found the source of this illustration, bought it (old Animage), and translated it and it’s fun. Will post my translation eventually.

More Asai Ranko art, from Zentraedi.org. Mostly featuring Kamjin and Laplamiz. Not too fond of these characters, but I love the artwork.
I think Kamjin is reading the Macross script and finding out he dies in a kamizake attack....
And the truck he's sitting on is a real truck company in Japan: Yamato Transport Company. http://www.kuronekoyamato.co.jp/en/
