Who actually won, Mutio or Kino?
>>
Mutio won anon's heart. No other girl from blue sub ever got posted, let alone got threads.
>>
No contest
>>
>>281945868
I mean, if you ask me the tomboy is cute af, but Mutio is just too good...
>>
Why even wage war with humanity when you can just offer each human male a mutio wife in exchange for surrender.
>>
>>
Cute fish.
>>
>>281946756
Because Verg wanted to horde them all.
>>
hii
>>
>>
I admit it's been like 25 years but I thought Mutio "won" but their worlds were too different leaving >>281946669 to pick up the pieces at the end. Shit, I haven't watched the OVA since it aired on CN but I've had both OSTs on rotation ever since

Mutio was definitely the fan favorite. Oceans worth of sperm have been spilt for her.
>>
>>281945026

> Mutio went back to her people
> Kino never got her revenge
> Hayami still a junkie with baggage
> no real conclusion other than a still ruined world they all live in

We lost because the story ended there.
>>
>>281945026
Mutio without a doubt.
If only we saw Verg die along with Zorndyke, though.
>>
>>281948032
It ends with Verg sinking into the water on top of her, but her resisting him because she wanted to get to Hayami.

>>281948287
Yeah it was honestly too ambiguous, I would have liked a post credit scene of her returning to Hayami. doesn't matter if their world is different, Verg is a bastard.
>>
>>281948507

I would imagine if gonzo was still around they wouldve made an attempt at some point but sadly we live in a ruined world also.

>>281949358
they are still around, just without any animators since they all moved to Studio Kai

Am I the only that likes that it was a relatively short ova? We could have had the world/characters fleshed out more with additional episodes. But the abruptness of the end we got has an almost bittersweet vibe.

When you think about it, Blue Submarine 6 is just a retelling of The Isle of Doctor Moreau but with a more positive message.
Verg is basically Hyena-Swine except a non-traitor.

I wish anime had more unique race characters.. All the isekai in the world and it's mostly humans humans humans..

It's a shame isn't it. Unlimited options, anything your heart could desire but it's almost always just printing out the same old things we've seen a bajillion times.

Supposedly the original 70's manga was very boring. They probably just didn't have enough ideas to pull for a full show.

Once Zorndyke was gone, what really could you do beyond doing something along the lines of nobody really learning from the events and continuing to war.

Only if you're low IQ.
>They probably just didn't have enough ideas to pull for a full show.
Ozawa Satoru specifically requested they do something completely different instead of just adapting his work. He's a legendary mangaka who worked with Yokoyama Mitsuteru and famously Yokoyama also requested the same of God Mars (making an original plot different from the source) when TMS decided to adapt his Mars manga.

>>281945026

Why would a marine lifeform need breasts and look and act like a young middle school girl for?

>>281961262
Because she's literally a human spliced with fish genes, considering Katsuma Nonaka is forcefully mutated into a male version of her species based on his foot fins.

It's aesthetically pleasing for one, and the actual reason above.

Because it's fucking hot.

That is because orcs were pigs, before Tolkien turned them into corrupted elves.
Orcs were pigs and merchants, oft not very honest and greedy.
Like with many old fable creatures they represented a certain group.
They were an analogy to jews personifying the clichés about the group.

I think she was done with the war once she saw her sister/team mate get killed at the end of the first episode. Kind of mirrors what happened to hayami and katsuma.

Interesting, didn’t think to look more into the details from the graphical works art book. Bottom paragraph in your image states

>This Mutio, after coming into contact with Hayami, awakened to an awareness of the ‘self’ and consequently suffered abuse from its peers. Furthermore, after rescuing the stranded Hayami, it was condemned to exile by Verg, and became tormented between the worlds of chimera and human.

There’s also a novelization of ova storyline with a few illustrations that I haven’t found anywhere else.

I should get around to scanning my copies eventually since it might be interesting to at least have a machine translation…

The illustrator isn't credited on the covers. I imagine it's also Murata Range? Much appreciated anyways.

It’s not Murata (doesn’t look like his style). I’m not sure who it is. I have scans of the illustrations, just not on my current device. I’ll upload them in a few hours if the thread is still up.

The point of Mutio and Hayami wasn't a sexual relationship, the point was that they saw each other as people despite being "enemies".
The war was entirely manufactured by a man who hated humanity. Meanwhile the pieces he was playing with only wanted peace but saw no option but to fight.

It's very similar to Turn-A Gundam in that it shows how much harder choosing peace can be.
