Yup! Infact, that AMV, along with a couple others (including the hilarious Habba Habba Zoot Zoot) are available on this Website, under Goodies -> Media. ^_^V

SERVE THE HIVE.


I love Habba Habba Zoot Zoot too!  ^_^V
The expression on Makato and Fujisawa's faces at key points in the AMV are priceless!  ;D

I always thought that Starcraft lent itself well to this sort of idea since the game's three races lend themselves to easy comparison to those of El-Hazard:

Zerg: An insectoid race.


There's actually an excellent AMV (Anime Music Video) called "Radio Free Bugrum" that combines the Zerg with the Bugrum. You have pictures of Jinnai essentially lip-singing the Overmind's voice, and it also features Diva prominently.

Protoss: A psychic race (with blue skin, even!).


Cool! :)
I never noticed that before.

Terran: Humans.

Of course, Starcraft utilizes a lot of high technology in its battle skirmishes, whereas technology in El-Hazard, while present, tends to be more in the background.


That's true.

I toyed with the idea of creating an El-Hazard scenerio using Starcraft's versatile campaign creator, but was ultimately too lazy to do so. ^^;


It would take a lot of work. If you do decide to try it again, though, you could simply use Kerrigan (Zerg leader) as Jinnai. The two are very similiar (both are humans turned leaders of insectiod alien races).

El-Hazard Online / El Hazard: Battle for Rashtaria
« on: March 20, 2006, 09:41:49 am »
One of my favourite PC games is "Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth". In this game, you choose one of four sides (Gondor, Rohan, Isengard, or Mordor), and you are given certain base-types, building-types, military-units, hero-types, and special bonus' for each of those four sides. The game is, in many ways, a LotR version of Age of Empires. I found it outstanding, and a joy to play.

After watching El Hazard, and reading a few El Hazard fan fics, it occured to me that we could have a very similiar game with El Hazard.

You could be limited to the Alliance, and the Bugrum (maybe a smart game maker could extend it to three, with the Shadow Tribe, but you'd need to get inventive), but even then, I think it would be loads of fun.

For Rashtaria, you could have a "central pilliar" of the royal palace of Floristica. Building structures could include a battle lab (for upgrades), a barracks (for soldiers), a bar (for greater cash influx, and also opening up Mr. Fujisawa as a recruitable character), a temple (for greater troop morale, and also opening up the three Priestesses as a recruitable characters), a food court (for greater cash influx, and also opening up Nanami as a recruitable character), and a hangar bay (for opening up larger Rashtarian machines, particularly flying machines). Makoto, Rune Venus, and Ura could be recruited immediately, and each have special abilities (i.e. machines would work more efficiently with Makoto within a certain radius of them).

For the Bugrum, you could have a "central pillar" of the Hive. Building structures could include a breeding facility (for soldiers), a Statue of Jinnai (for higher morale for soldiers), a Demon God Tomb (to make Ifurita a recruitable character), a food storage facility (for more cash influx), and a war machines factory (for larger war machines). Jinnai, Diva, and Groucho, would all be recruitable characters, each with their own special abilities (i.e. any bugrum within a certain radius of the Jinnai character would get a morale upgrade, making his attack stronger).

I certainly don't have the ability/skill to make a game like this, but I'm wondering what everybody here thinks of the concept. :)

Sounds like it'd be pretty neat! Now, if only you had strong financial backing, and the ear of Geneon's production staff in Japan. XD


Heh. Thanks, and good point. ;)
I have thought about writing a story/script for the show (I've actually wrote a few scenes already) I was thinking of here. Do you think it would be worth it? I mean, if enough people on this board was to like it...

Seriously, though, it's great to see that El-Hazard still has enthusiastic fans. Welcome to El-Hazard Online!


Thanks again! :)
If you're interested, I can write the first episode or two, and leave it here later this week.

Personally, I think that El Hazard has awesome potential. It's a very high quality (and unique!) show, with excellent characters. Like Tenchi, I don't see any reason why it needs to ever "die". It simply needs to re-invent itself a bit.

El-Hazard Online / Re: El-Hazard as a TCG?!

I think that it would be better to have an anime card game (or even a game focusing exclusively on El Hazard) modelled after the Magic: The Gathering system. Attack/Defense, and knowledge of how certain character abilities worked (Banding, First Strike, Trample, etc...) was all you really needed for that game.

Of course, another system would be to model it after the Yu-Gi-Oh system, but I'm not sure if the company that owns Yu-Gi-Oh would feel comfortable in letting other animes use their system.

El-Hazard Online / Idea I had for a sequel to El Hazard
« on: March 19, 2006, 07:46:07 pm »
As many of you probably know, El Hazard and Tenchi are both made by the same parent company of Pioneer.

Now, both shows were going strong with sequels... up until Alternate World. Sadly, there has been no new El Hazard material since then (not that I'm aware of, anyway).

I think that El Hazard would do well to try to re-invent itself somewhat in the same manner that many Tenchi spin-offs have... by that, I mean that you bring in a new cast of characters, but within the same universe, and use established characters from the original season largely for cameo appearances and/or major story archs.

In this vein, I've thought up what a new 26 episode El Hazard series could be like.

I was thinking that "El Hazard: The New World" would be a good name for it.

The idea behind it is this... we fast forward 30 years into the future, beyond the ending of Alternate World (we work off of that continuity). Most of the original cast of characters have passed away and/or eased into something of a retirement. In their place would be seven new key characters...

Watanabe Mizuhara --- A very smart teenager born and bred in El Hazard who has certain powers over machines, and has even made some interesting inventions. A fairly meek, and shy, person, but passionate in what he believes in. He would be the main protagonist.

Masato Fujisawa - Watanabe's best friend, who is gifted with superstrength and speed. He's an excellent fighter, is a chain-smoker, and likes an alcoholic beverage every now and then (but is trying to break the habit since it weakens him). He loves adventuring, and simply hanging out with Watanabe.

Galoria, the Water Priestess - A clever, analytical thinker. A defector from the Shadow Tribe! She as such has pale blue skin, and has to deal with some racist sentiment from many of the Rashtarian people, including from...

Faura Flora, the Fire Priestess - A very fiery person with a never say die attitude, and a big crush on Watanabe. She's the tallest of the Priestesses, and the most outspoken of the three.

Midori, the Wind Priestess - The youngest of the three Priestesses, and also the smallest. A very nice, playful, and sweet girl. She has a crush on Masato.

Sakura - The new unquestioned ruler of the revived Bugrum Empire. She is both Queen, and Commander. She has normal white skin, and light red hair. She does have bugrum wings, but no additional eyes. She wears a black cape, and black leather tights. She is reserved and thoughtful at times, but can also be very impulsive. She has given names to each member of her personally selected core group of Bugrum soldiers. She laughs maniacally whenever a major battle is won, or a plan succeeds (think of the Kodachi laugh from Ranma, or the Naga laugh from Slayers). To make things interesting, Watanabe develops a bit of a crush on her after he meets her, but she absolutely loathes the name "Mizuhara". Needless to say, she's the main antagonist.

There would also be a new Rashtarian Prince, and a new leader for the Shadow Tribe (though I don't have a name for them yet).

My plan was to have the first 13 episodes focus on the new characters, and character development. However, I'd kick the series off (right before the very first showing of the opening intro) with a very old, but physically fit, man jogging up a mountainside with his poor older wife trotting along after him asking why they have to go on such mountain climbing adventures. ;) Then you would hear what sounds like Bugrum noises, and see what looks like Bugrum shadows, and suddenly the couple are attacked, and captured (you don't see them after they scream however)!

I was then thinking it would be good to re-introduce two more "classic" El Hazard characters near the end of the first 13 episodes, including a special surprise re-introduction at the end of episode 13 that would set up the final 13 episodes. The final 13 episodes would bring many of the "classic" El Hazard characters into play, and would see a major three-way struggle between Roshtaria, the more powerful than ever Bugrum Empire, and the cunning Shadow Tribe.

So... what do you guys all think? :) I can get into greater detail if you wish.

El-Hazard Online / Hey there!
« on: March 19, 2006, 07:13:57 pm »
I'm a big El Hazard fan, but unfortunetly didn't get much into anime (outside of the stuff already very easily accesible like DBZ) until a year or two ago.

The El Hazard series immediately hooked me in, and I consider it my favourite Anime (though there are a lot that I like).

I felt that the OVA storyline was outsanding, and that the TV show was equally good (for the most part) and had some great individual episodes.

I like the overall feel of the show, but I admit that what really hooked me were the villians - Katsuhiko Jinnai, and Queen Diva. I consider them to be the best villain couple in all of anime!

Of course, all of the key cast members are appealling (I also really like Mr. Fujisawa, Shayla Shayla, and both Ifuritas).

Anyway, just wanted to say 'hello' after finding this site. I have a few ideas that I'm going to post in a sec. :)
