>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.
>>23802986>>disjointed off-tone sequel movie that doesn't solve the open plot treads from the original and up-ends the charactersPatlabor?
>>23805727kek
>>23803090>>23803134Because most people only experience the original through super robot wars.
>>23808459Nah, people were saying this before there were any of its SRW entries available in English. Might be some people who can read moonrunes and didn't watch the show, but that's probably a pretty small group.
>>23803134>it's clearly not a finished story.What happened to the rest of it?
>>23811812Movie didn't do that well, staff moved on to other projects then later felt it was too late to return for a sequel.
>>23803085>>23804830>>23811866There were two games actually. Nadesico the Blank of Three Years for the Sega Saturn took place between the show and the movie, and Nadesico: The Mission for the Sega Dreamcast, which took place afterwards. I don't think there is any actual plot progression in the second game, besides Yurika joining. Guess they were hoping to do another movie still
>>23811881oh and also some dating game thing of course
>>23802986I hate POD with a burning passion, what a faggot move
>>23811881Is there somewhere where I can read about what happens during The Blank of 3 Years?
>>23802986>snark loli becomes the breakout character>make her the main character of the film>age her up and and make her not snark at allWhat the FUCK were they thinking?
>>23812392https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/4683054/
>>23802986It almost feels like a parody of CCA and Oshi’s Patlabor movies. Down to some of the characters drastically changing in personality and motives.
>>23812483T.hanks famalamadingdong
>>23802986Frieren?
>>23814919Gray hair tswin taru is a pretty overused trope. Stop making everything that nuLightnovel shit.
>>23802986That final fight with the aestevalis purge reveal from tbe black serena is toptier
>make your snarky supporting character the main because they get popular>making them the main character stops them from doing everything that made them popularevery single time
>>23815481Give 1 other example.
>>23802986The open threads from the original get solved in the video game, which leaves threads open that get solved in the PoD movie, which has leaves threads for the next video game, which then left threads for the next animation, but uh-oh, it turns out this was a retarded way to tell a story and it gets cancelled.
>>23815755Then they went on to do Fafner so all's well that ends well.
>>23815745CCA
Black Sarena is pure sex
>>23808459Do people really do that? Play SRW first and watch the sequel of something without ever seeing the original series?
>>23815882Zoomers ofc. Don't be fooled they need outside validation for anything they do. >>23815827Elaborate
>>23815827Care to explain?
>>23812382Do you get to burning anon?
>>23811881>besides Yurika joiningIsn't that a huge fucking deal though
>>23820646Not after PoD stuck her in a refrigerator
>>23811881What kind of games?
>>23802986>disjointed off-tone sequel movieWhat other franchise had this happen to it? Eureka Seven?
>>23827913Eureka Seven's sequels weren't disjointed, they were just pants on head retarded and really bad.
>>23827938Typical Bones failure.>>23827913Escaflowne is a big one.
>>23820646>>23820672Makes sense she’d rejoin the crew since she got better at the films end>>23827944I haven’t even bothered watching this but isn’t this just an odd reimagining of the tv series or something?
>>23828140A terrible reimagining that left out about everything and changed everything else. Plus the escaflowne is in it for 1 scene more or less.
>>23802986PoD is greatPeople don't realize it's an extended Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato bit
Currently watching the original serie, at episode 5 rn, will it gets better? I don't understand what the show wants to be...
>>23828921>if you pretend [x] this shit isn't shit
>>23828921Ummm akshuwally.Yeah lol no. It is so disconnected from the actual show, which people loved. It made no sense at all that they did a 180 and took the route they did.
I actually really liked the movie but I have to admit it's two biggest flaws were.1. Making Ruri the main character, this is an issue because while she's my favorite character, she can't carry a show from a main character position, also she isn't as snarky2. It doesn't give a nice stand alone ending which feels bad because the follow ups were uh, yeah.I do think people are too harsh on this but I can't blame them, the movie doesn't really do anything to soften the blows of the reality of the franchise's fate due to it.
I never felt the tonal whiplash, the original is barely goofy by the end.
>>23812394I just hate that they defluffed her hair.
>>23829859They have a fucking anime convention in the antepenultimate episode
>>23811881Blonde looks alpha af.
>>23812664Cool jammies.
>>23803061Shouldn't that be Fafnir?
>>23811881Inez looks different.
>>23803061Xebec did Nadesico?!
>>23811881>>23811884Anyone ever played those?
>>23814921it's a manga
>>23814921>Gray hairIt's a light shade of blue, actually.>tswin taruThat anything like tsuinte-ru?
>>23849611No one on this board, apparently.
>>23827944>Typical Bones failure.I don't think that's what he meant when he described it as disjointed.
>>23848247You even watch the show?
What'd they do to eureka 7 I still dont understand
>>23853733Yeah, about two decades ago, and I didn't bother trying to read the credits.
>>23832626More like a fan club meeting.
>>23853735Who are you talking to?
>>23815755They had to learn that the hard way?
I like the film. Always have. It's pretty well animated when the prestige films were on their way out.
>>23855195>he didn't watch the episode previews
>>23815885>Zoomers ofc. Don't be fooled they need outside validation for anything they do.what zoomer is managing to play a SRW game that has Nadesico in it? The newer ones only have the movie
>>23861005He said "of something" not necessarily Nadesico. Zoomers have zero ability finding shows to watch so wait until their YouTube shorts or tick tocks show them units from the games. They can only do things through outside validation
>>23861260I mean sure, but SRW isn't exactly the franchise swarming with 'zoomers.
>>23860920Sure I did, and I don't recall the credits rolling during those.
>>23815827What the fuck are you talking about?
>>23868622Char's Counterattack.
>>23867585Those things still in use in PoD?
>>23861005J is fully translated.
>>23861260>tik toksFTFY
>>23861005Funny you say that, cause I, the one who asked the question, am a zoomer and my play order has been AP+, AG, GC, SRW1, and I am finishing up J now.Gundam is the only thing I have familiarity with going into these games, and so far the shows I've gotten interested in and watched have been Nadesico, Zeorymer, Brain Powerd, and Layzner. I tried to watch Dragonar but can't find anything past episode 9 in japanese sub.
>>23870123I doubt people are playing J to pretend they watched Nadesico of all things>>23871379I mean, as funny as it could be the fact that you watched them also means you're proving him wrong
>>23802986I actually liked this movie but the depressing tone and all the dark story changes that happened off screen is one of the most retarded decisions I've seen with a franchise. Visually it's really good but it had no business being a follow up to Nadesico.
