      Animation was good, robots and ships were cool, lots of ruri screen time. I like Alito batman, I like black serena, I like ryoko custom astivalis I like ruri in captain dress. This movie is good.

      My wife Ruri.

      I liked TV Akito but PoD Akito was more enjoyable in the end.

        I was going to say that this was an odd attempt at manufacturing a nonexistent controversy, but then I remembered what board I was on.

            That post was a response to what they were saying, not this thread.

    People always say the movie diverged in tone from the series, but I don't think it really did.

      This, it really just felt like a longer nadesico episode for me. It being the first part in a trilogy of movies that ended up not being made is the real stinker.

    I didn't hate it, I just wish the franchise didn't end with it.
    No, VNs no one played do not count.

      pretty much this.
      I love Prince of Darkness, but the fact that there was meant to be more Nadesico films after it that never manifested is an eternal thorn in my side.
      SRW is a nice compensation, but it's never gonna replace the real thing.

    Prince of Darkness is trash outside of animation and it annoys me that Prince of Darkness Black Sarena always gets in SRW .

        Contrarianism does not make you intelligent or interesting anon.

        Do you have some numbers to backup that? Also why king records has the IP not xebec

        >some numbers

        Here's some numbers: PoD is meant to be the start of a trilogy.

          Not even that anon, PoD was awesome and much better than the series.

    It's fine. I like it a bit.

    My problem is that if you watch it after the show the whiplash is massive. Plot points out of nowhere that had to be cleared by a VN, major characterization shifts, etc. I don't mind how angsty it is either but having the show's humor would have helped a lot.

      The martian succesors plan relied on tubefeeding yurika with shoujo manga.

      In a meta way the film kinda feels like it's making another self-referential joke about mecha anime with how the series is followed up by a much darker film that extends or remakes the ending similar to EoE, or Ideon.

      It's still there though?
      Hikaru and Izumi in particular have a basically entirely comedic role.
      Akito and Ruri to a lesser extent are the only characters lacking humor, and with valid reason given their experiences prior to the movie.

      it used to be that I thought a show killing an IP beyond any hope of revival was a bad thing
      how wrong I was
