This is a prequel about Phoenix's backstory and his past history (friendship) with duck before season 1.
It will also give some information about some new characters that will be in season 2

>>162208525
You're pushing boundaries there. I think it would just look corny like in Team America, and I'm content the medium is getting away with blood and gore.

This webm is my magnum opus.

>>162217133
When you think about it we literally don't know anything about them, we just know their moral system and how they operate.
There are plenty of things that we still need to know about them.

Thing is, Urobuchi wrote S1 as a mystery with a seemingly cookie cutter fantasy story on purpose, S2 is going to have a completely different style to S1.

I will be disappointed if he doesn't appear frequently enough in S2 to get bothered. I still feel we'd have a lot of fun knowing as the audience what he's capable of while he's under some strict terms not to reveal to the people he's talking to. They could really play up him not being able to say anything when it hits so close to what we've seen.

>>162223454
>They actually love westerners and don't mind people translating their stuff.

HUH?
I heard completely different stories, stuff like JAST being retarded a total shit to Nitro+, and N+ thinking gaijins are all like JAST, leading them to hate us and going out of their way to make their games very difficult to translate and coding them in such a way that's impossible to even machine translate, something that's actually true (Full Metal Daemon having vertical layout, Necro not hookable at all, being actively against the localization of that recent fighting game, etc)

>>162223776
JAST is grossly incompetent. They're supposed to translate Django aeons ago. It's a fucking 10 hour long VN and not particularly that hard to translate.

When they're making games, they make it primarly for the japanese market, they don't think of us really. With Muramasa it was wholly a design choice, it's supposed to be a Japanese period drama after all.
Don't know about Necro, but that's a special case, the game is way different than most. I doubt that was deliberate.

They do notice their gaijin fans but the problem is that they have no way of reaching them even though they want to.

>>162224819
Ok. That's a shame because their stuff would sell bazingas
I just remembered they do have an english shop..

>>162210380
>I think it would just look corny like in Team America
That's because they went with marionette puppets and an intentionally crappy look. I wasn't aware of taiwanese hand puppets at the time but seeing the quality of movement that can be reached,as well as how editing can be used to cover up the rest (like shooting in legs and stuff) that you could do a serious action-puppet show that isn't just wuxai martial arts.

Combination of a mistranslation, One of his names is Crow (so like duck), and perhaps that even his VA's name in Kanji has bird in it too.
Could also be how some people that travel between here and the Chinese equivalent of 4chan (like China BBS or bilibili) also spread the name here too.
