Also movie so good, too bad like the events between anime series and movie was brought over with like a game and two fake short story compilations. In all, Ruri is awesome.

But yeah Denpa imo is just much better than kure-nai. And now for us to all reflect, by Denpa, Mursaki will be a highschooler. | ||

My impression of the last episode is best summed up as: ![[image loading]](http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y255/darksentenal/1301675721164.png) Thoughts on the show now that its done: The show was almost entirely mecha fanservice, lol. And since I'm a huge mecha fan, that is a plus to me. But plot wise it did involve cramming tons of stuff into the show, and would make it really hard to follow for those who haven't played through the games already. And even then, lots of stuff from the games were changed/omitted. For SRW fans, by SRW fans is the best way to describe the show.

Plus the overall tone of the movie was just so different than the anime, it was hard to swallow. I disagree about Ruri being the "only reason to watch". She is a character that some would really like, and shes an alright character, but saying she is the "only reason to watch the show" is going really far, IMO. | ||

Is SRW that good? It felt like I was watching an episode from the middle of the season, not the first episode. They didn't explain anything, who people were or what the hell the point of the show was, it was pure mech fanservice. You were probably watching The Inspectors, which means yes, you were watching an episode from the middle, since its a direct sequel to Divine Wars. Direct sequels tend to work that way. | ||

Not really, character development in Nadesico is nonexistent and pretty much none of the characters can give you a sense of the fact that they are in fact at war. The original aim of the Nadesico series was a slice of life (nonexistent back then really) space opera, the developers later admit to the fact that it was way, way, way too short to accomplish something like that. But yeah, as a result, pretty much every character has been distorted in some way to fit that idea. Of all of them, Ruri was the only one that, including the movies, was able to get us some idea of the actual impact and seriousness of the war. So yes, to me, she might well be the only reason to watch the show. Hell, the Super robot spinoffs and all sucked too. I mean, if you want to watch funnies, you'd go elsewhere. If you want a good space opera, you'd go elsewhere too. About the events between series and movie, I might as well as summarize here unless people want to google, there is afaik no real translated materials out there for it.

Something tells me we have had this conversation before, probably when I mentioned Nadesico a while back. Because I feel like I've read that exact post before lol I guess we will agree to disagree. Additionally, I take the devoloper's opinion of their own show with a grain of salt. If I started taking 'Word of God's' opinion on their own show as fact, then that means I'd have to start listening to Tomino's opinion on Gundam shows, and that guy is batshit fucking insane. But yeah, if you could summerize what happened between the series and movie, that would be helpful. I mean, I could piece together some of the stuff, but alot of it was just like "wat, is this the same show?" | ||

Kunisaki Izumo no Jijou iirc? It is pretty funny, though I wouldn't quite go far as to call kabukimono as traps. Yeah that's the one. It's fairly amusing, only a couple chapters in. It might not be COMPLETE trap but it's still pretty trappy, I like it. Wait... Damn you, Southlight T_T | ||

As for Nadesico, I won't even spoiler this, kinda need to know to watch movie. After the end of the series, Nadesico was again arrested by the Earth authorities, from there on they were under confinement of sorts for around 6 months before the changes to the Jovians took place and the war ended with a peace treaty. As you can guess from the movie, there was an insurrection of sorts led by the younger officers when the fact about the assassination was leaked out, and Kusakabe was driven from power. The government that succeeded the military rule then negotiated a treaty. So that is all and well and we even get some fun stuff, like Yurika and boobs (forgot her name) fought over Ruri's guardianship (in fact, everyone on the Nadesico, including Goat, Akatsuki and Prospector wanted to become her surrogate family, but Prospector managed to trim it down to just those two [he was specifically trying to get Ruri under Yurika's care because of her father's position and how it could get Ruri away from some of the unpleasant things that she might be subjected to due to her birth]) Akito, Yurika and Ruri were living together as a family. Akito proposing to Yurika and having to convince her father and all. You know, fun slice of life stuff. Then the propose went through and they went on a honeymoon. Then the shuttle they were on blew up, along with Inez on it. Ruri was offered to be taken in by boobs, but she refused. Due to her being the two's only surviving relative and other reasons (explained in movie), Nergal assigned a bodyguard to her (Saburota). Eventually she came across Harley, and over time was able to get over the grief (iirc she was practically a hikkikomori for half a year or more) and then enrolled in the commander training. So after all that we get the Ruri that we see in the movie. All of the events up to that point were treated by the public as accidents and regarded by the military as terrorist acts. I think that should be enough to explain the gaps between the two, if you have any more questions ask away. On April 04 2011 07:20 Ferrose wrote: I searched because I was bored.
