was POD actually the ultimate genre meta parody and flew over the heads of anime fans at the time?

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

I 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.

That does sounds like your average low quality, no effort parody (which describes Nadesico as a whole perfectly), so you're probably correct

It almost feels like a parody of CCA and Oshi’s Patlabor movies. Down to some of the characters drastically changing in personality and motives.

The 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.

Currently watching the original serie, at episode 5 rn, will it gets better? I don't understand what the show wants to be...

Anon04/22/26, 15:28No.23829858
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 snarky
2. 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.

I like the film. Always have. It's pretty well animated when the prestige films were on their way out.
