>disjointed off-tone sequel movie that doesn't solve the open plot treads from the original and up-ends the characters
was POD actually the ultimate genre meta parody and flew over the heads of anime fans at the time?

I really like PoD and Ruri.

>one off
It was meant to be a trilogy, it just flopped so hard the others never got made.

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

There weas a Dreamcast game that bridged the original series and PoD

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.

Yeah, I don't understand it either. When I first watched the thing, I was expecting it to be entirely distinct and brooding and self-serious. There was a bit of that, but most of it's just the same as the show. Its major issue is just that it's clearly not a finished story.

And I heard that one didn't resolve anything too.

>We made it shitty on purpose
That does sounds like your average low quality, no effort parody (which describes Nadesico as a whole perfectly), so you're probably correct

>>23802986
You're over exaggerating.

Because most people only experience the original through super robot wars.

Nah, people were saying this before there were any of its SRW entries available in English. Might be some people who can read moonrunes and didn't watch the show, but that's probably a pretty small group.

What happened to the rest of it?

Movie didn't do that well, staff moved on to other projects then later felt it was too late to return for a sequel.

There were two games actually. Nadesico the Blank of Three Years for the Sega Saturn took place between the show and the movie, and Nadesico: The Mission for the Sega Dreamcast, which took place afterwards. I don't think there is any actual plot progression in the second game, besides Yurika joining. Guess they were hoping to do another movie still

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.

Then they went on to do Fafner so all's well that ends well.

Do people really do that? Play SRW first and watch the sequel of something without ever seeing the original series?

>>23815882
Zoomers ofc. Don't be fooled they need outside validation for anything they do.
