And just when you think it's going to be a light hearted story about a bunch of halfwits and nerds living their dream on a space battleship, shit happens. Then it's happy shit again! Then tragedy. Then we get a huge swerve which unravels the whole main villain of the show! Then we're back to fucking around.

Ruri was well known in 1996 because EVA launched this kind of genre and Nadesico followed suit, imo Nadesico was always better than EVA though.
but yes, i feel like Radiohead contributed to the (modern) survival of Nadesico somewhat (and Lucky Star).

I actually like the movie but like Patlabor 2 for the Patlabor franchise, it's not really Nadesico. Difference is that Patlabor 2 was very well-written. Prince of Darkness has cool aesthetics and interesting concepts though.

I often imagine having sex with Yurika, and I can theoretically imagine sex with Akito. But to think of them fucking each other is beyond my ken. Like one of those soft serve machines, except instead of vanilla and chocolate it mixes vanilla and double coffee lemon pistachio sherbet with gummy worms and animal crackers.
>>286687708
Goshogun (something else?) --> Mazinger. A lot of Nadesico is also a Mazinger parody or working off of things that came from Mazinger. This anon is correct >>286687984.

>>286688269
Prince of Darkness was a cancelled second season. It was made from the first four episodes. It was cancelled after production had already started.
The second season would have leaned heavily on parodies of syndicated American sci fi shows for its comedy like Pani Poni Dash would do a few years later, combined with some nods to Leji Matsumoto. The story was largely an excuse for Akito to larp as a space pirate, while remaining a good guy. While having Ruri become Spock and become captain of the Nadeshiko and then Yurika, after being rescued, would channel 'Admiral Kirk' and 'recover' Akito before facing the final bad guys. Some sort of plot involving a bosun jump cannon in the orbit of Jupiter that would start destroying Earth cities by teleporting asteroids into the atmosphere so Space Force defenses could not deflect them.
The internal conflict that cancelled the show is not really well documented, but involved personal issues between members of the production and creative staff that caused business members of the project committee to pull the plug after work had already started and two or three episodes were complete.

There was a video game published on, of all things, Sega Saturn. That contained some of the story that happened in the three years before the start of the movie. The game and anime were supposed to be released together and the game was released immediately after the movie. And disappeared into ignominy. Probably both were a victim of Sega's decision to terminate Saturn early and divert all resources to save Dreamcast that in turn failed.

I've only seen mentions of the director refusing to do an S2 unless, I think it was, Stellvia got greenlit for a second season too. Production issues ensued, fan interest had waned over time, neither show ended up happening.

>>286694781
I believe there were shenanigans with Sega claiming that the IP had been sold to them. There was a pitch to make Nadeshiko-and especially Ruri- a 'multi-media' franchise centered around Dreamcast games, with the anime and manga increasingly being seen as a extended ad. In this turbulent environment Asamiya/Kadokawa/Shonen Ace lost control of their IP's. When Sega's console division crashed they purged everything except their video game library centered on their arcade games before being acquired by Sammy. Who can legally make more Nadeshiko works is not clear.

Plus it finally told us what a fucking "Martian Successor" was.

>and they forgot that part in the movie.
That's what makes it even weirder: they didn't. It just came off so flat nobody laughed.

I miss when Xebec existed and they would put random Ruri cameos into their anime.
