We're talking about concepts of EH.

Not that it matters, since I never emphasized the point-- but I always assumed that Earth, El-Hazard and Creteria were the same planet, or very nearly the same planet, in three alternate universes.

Earth and El-Hazard would be widely separated, by whatever it is that separates dimensions, since the two worlds are so different.  But El-Hazard and Creteria could be much more closely related.  Creteria could literally be an alternate El-Hazard.

I always assumed that El Hazard and Earth were two seperate planets, and Creteria was El Hazard at some other point in time (past or future). But, it is interesting to think they they could all be the same place, at the same time in different dimensions (if you subscribe to the theory of an infinite number of different dimensions existing side by side at all times). If the latter were true though, why does the Eye of God exist on El Hazard and Creteria, but not Earth?

Keep in mind the Eye of God from El-Hazard transported them to Creteria in the first place.  It probably just took all of them and itself along.  (Although there's pitfalls all about the Alternative World story and pictures and stuff... but I'm working the best I can here. :P)

Well, like I said before-- El-Hazard and Creteria could be "closer" in the multi-dimensional universe, than either of them are to Earth.  Their proximity would make them more similar to each other, and their distance from Earth would make both of them more different from Earth.

You could argue that it took more power (from Ifurita) to send Makoto from Earth to EH, and it took him longer to travel between dimensions (with the whole flash-forward sequence and all the celestial imagery).

To get from EH to Creteria, all it took was a little nudge from Arjah, a flash of light from Makoto's circuit thingy, a quick slide against a plain-white background, and there they were.  Suggesting that EH and Creteria are "closer."  

OK, I'm just completely making this up.

Creteria seems to be a future El-Hazard, if for no other reason than the title of the second episode is "The Door To The Future Opens."  But there's too many little things about Creteria that make more sense to me as an alternate history than a future history.

And, as unsubtle as The Alt World series generally was, if Creteria was the future of El-Hazard, the gang probably would have found their own graves, or something.

EDIT:  For clarity, I hope.

Only if they had wished to make the point blantant.

Plus it's not like they had visited any graveyards.

And even if they had, unless it was one deticated specifically for them, there's still a chance they might've missed it.



In BTTF3, Doc Brown's grave was only found because of the dog.  Otherwise Marty and 1955 Doc would've gone home and never even knew about it.

Yes, but then you'd have to explain how it came to be disassembled and have farms and colonies on the pieces?

That is also plausible, since parallel dimensions can either be similar or completely different form one another. I dunno, I just think the "continuity issue" explaination puts it best. ^^; Also what Rob said about fanfics.

Dude.  That's most impressive.  :o  (You need to add a smiley with its jaw falling open.)  Did you happen to have that picture on hand, or did you just go and capture that image for this post?

Just captured it.  DVDs are such wonderful things as far as computer compatability go.  El-Hazard and BTTF Trilogy -- the only DVDs I need. ;)

... buut I keep Hand Maid May around for the hell of it too.

I'm not actually sure what this topic is about any more, is it El Hazard, Back to the future or Hand Maid May?

You and me, Lar.

I can only guess it's about... Geography and Chronology.

Chronology...

What is the best way to explain this...

It's the study of time.  The best way to explain this...

A timeline.

My cronology would be...

August 14, 1985 - Born

1988 - Learned to speak (I was diagnosed with Asperenger's disease, part of the spectrum of Autism)

1991 - Attended Elementary School

1995 - Survived pneumonia and bronchitis

1996 - Graduated from Elementry School, started Middle School

1999 - Started Secondary School

March 25, 2003 - Current date

June 22, 2003 - Offical graduation day from high school.

See now?
