>disjointed off-tone sequel movie that doesn't solve the open plot treads from the original and up-ends the characters was POD actually the ultimate genre meta parody and flew over the heads of anime fans at the time?
>>23802986I really like PoD and Ruri.
>>23802986>one offIt was meant to be a trilogy, it just flopped so hard the others never got made.
Doing such a huge departure from the original show hurt it in sales and with fans. Complete mistake.Xebec learned to not stray from the formula with Fafner. Thank god
There weas a Dreamcast game that bridged the original series and PoD
>>23802986I dont get why people call it off tone, its not any more off tone than the original TV series. Theres still comedy parts with the main antagonists reading shoujo manga to fuel their super teleportation device and the protagonists and things like that, theyre just not as spaced out because its a movie.
>>23803090Yeah, I don't understand it either. When I first watched the thing, I was expecting it to be entirely distinct and brooding and self-serious. There was a bit of that, but most of it's just the same as the show. Its major issue is just that it's clearly not a finished story.
>>23802986Pork
>>23803085And I heard that one didn't resolve anything too.
>We made it shitty on purposeThat does sounds like your average low quality, no effort parody (which describes Nadesico as a whole perfectly), so you're probably correct
>>23802986You're over exaggerating.
