>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?

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.

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.

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.

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

Is there somewhere where I can read about what happens during The Blank of 3 Years?

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.
