Ueda: It's not so much that I'm amazed that twenty years have passed. Rather, looking back, I'm amazed we were able to make the series twenty years ago (laugh). I can't imagine it being done today. Not just in terms of the content, but the richness of the staff and cast... It really was a good age.

Chino: I've had a chance to be involved with several original anime series, but with Nadesico, the sheer depth and volume of the script was quite a lot. It was impressive that [director Satō] Tastuo was able to put all that together into a storyboard. That's not to say that's either a positive or a negative of the script, but it's hard to encounter another series with that kind of challenge. Even when I work on one, I often find myself feeling that there's something lacking. It was a feat that we managed to make the series and it's in no small part thanks to the writers and episode directors. Looking over the staff list now, it's become a Who's Who of people who've gone on to become big players.

Satō: Well, the first thing I think about is the relief that we got it made. If we were to make it today, I don't think I could say with confidence that I could get it done, much less someone else. It was very much that combination of elements and the period. It was also a cell-drawn anime on film. These days, with digital, it seems like we can do anything, and yet there are more things that we can't, so looking back, it feels like we got it done because we pushed ourselves so hard. I sweat just thinking about it.


Do you think Nadesico could be made today and still feel the same?

Nah, too erratic, too random and sometimes too serious even in the comedic moments.
People don't really like that kind of thing nowadays, mostly because the audience is different, though the times are different too.

They probably couldn't make it exactly the way they did then today. It would certainly be different. It's very much a show of it's era and that's fine.
>>14897599

yes, yes you should

>>14897599
Absolutely.

It essentially is what established Xebec as a studio

Anon...
It just won't stop hurting.
Even after all these years.

Maybe if the new FMP sells well Xebec will bring another season of Nadesico.

>>14898654
Never happening. There were talks about another season a few years ago but nothing happened.

I guess that's true

I have drawn some Izumi in the past but I don't color my shit in so it looks incomplete

>>14898920

The one thing I don't get is why Akito gave a fuck about Jiro. He was a really dick to Akito for most of the time.

>>14905163
He was the only one he understood on the ship?
Sure, he was dickish but he was also a fellow /m/an.
Everyone else on the ship was a nut and the only other person he had any connection with was the captain who simply couldn't take the hint.

>>14898917
Whilst Dai-Guard doesn't need a sequel, the open ended finale worked well imo...
The series was comfy as fuck and more episodes would fun to see.

I remember when I brought a PSP-GO just to play SWR Z2, partly due to Dai-Guards debut.

Actually I wouldn't mind a re-telling or the tv series with a proper conclusion like they originally intended. Unfortunately, even though I love Nadesico, I think it would get fucked up.

I'm kind of on this guy's wavelength. By the end of the show I wondered if I had wasted my time. There are funny moments and a lot of references to old mecha shows but overall it just seemed lackluster.

Avoid the movie. It's super boring.

>>14914718

I really liked Nadesico while I was watching it. I loved all the callbacks, loved the humor, and I really liked the cast, but I was really frustrated by the ending. For as much as they durdled around with the plot the way they wrapped things up felt hugely unsatisfying. It's a pity, because Nadesico was clever in so many other ways. After reading up on the succeeding installments in the franchise, I can't help but wonder how much that had to do with the ambitions of the suits producing the show.

After the TV series ended, the plot went on to continue in a game on the Sega Saturn. We then pick it up again in the movie, which was succeeded again by another video game. I have to believe part of the reason we got shafted by the ending was not just the normal schedule/budget crunch that kills so many other shows, but because they had this notion of establishing a cross-platform franchise.

>>14914657

Should I watch Nadesico or Silent Mobius?

>>14898654
They made one but it's not Fafner it's Majestic Prince.

>>14915995
Nadesico.

BGC 2040 is better than Mobius. And the Mobius manga is better than the anime

>>14915995
>>14916094
On a related note, the manga's author did the Nadesico one, but don't read that, it's worse than the anime.

If you watched Gundam, Macross, Evangelion and some other sci-fi anime as well as some Super Robot series, then yes, it's a must. It's funny as hell how it makes fun of them.
If you didn't, then you aren't really missing too much. It's a nice anime, it has its own story and can be watched on its own merits, but it's nothing extraordinaire.

>>14907885
Jun is such a great character. That episode where he starts talking with sign language because he couldn't speak anymore I really lost my shit.

>>14897599
Watch only the first few episdoes because that is when the best character is alive. Then he dies and is replaced by these putzes. >>14897420 And everything goes to shit. And just when you think it goes get any more shitty. A character you think gets painfully crushed to death is in fact transported to a Dreamcast game. And if you think it couldn't get any worse, the movie happened.

Good, melancholic OP though.
