I agree with you about AW I just found it alittle upsetting when I first watched the ovas to find that in the first one he is able to find her at the end but it didn't show how. Then in AW he still hasn't found her and is trying to still. I guess I am just excited to see how they are reunited and perhaps they could go alittle further into there relationship alittle after they are runited. but then again contuineing it like that could also ruin it.
I have NO idea where I got the bunny Jewel... erm... possibly from you? ^^() Seriously no clue.
I'm afraid I have to agree with d.t., Mark. While I DID enjoy El-Hazard: Earth, I feel that it lost a lot of the "feel" of the original El-Hazard series (a problem common to all but a few gems of fanfiction, actually, for any series). Whether it was because it went "too far" here, or so-and-so seemed mischaracterized in this scene there, or it could use more silliness here [...]
Really, though, what we'd all REALLY like to see is our El-Hazard Round Robin animated. Now THAT would be something.
By the way, I blame all of you for my new avatar.
I enjoyed EH: Earth, but I guess I never gave much thought to its "feel." I guess "feel" doesn't really matter that much to me. I'm a comedy writer (despite HNA), and Wolfe's work is a bit heavy, for my taste. And, very generally speaking, the last part of Earth "went too far" and got too weird, for my taste. But the great story in the first five parts, and his masterful writing in general, still make Earth a classic in my book. I never gave much thought to "feel" in my own work, either. If I can keep everyone in character, and if I can come up with a story that hangs together (cough) Alternative World (cough), then I'm happy. Actually, I think The Charm has some of the feel of the first OVA. HNA certainly does not, but then, I always meant for it to be something of an experiment.
Actually, the original plans for AW appear to be very different (apparently when Makoto first finds Kauru she was originally meant to be being pursued by a strange robot, made with technology similar to the Eye of God's key). Wouldn't mind seeing what was originally planned
Spanner - Actually what we'd really like to see (and by "we" I'm only speaking for myself and a few others I know of) is the next chapter of your delightful "Wandering Souls" Altiverse. Do you intend to ever go back to that story? The long hiatus saddens me...
