#Shinsekai Evolution

[superthatguy62]

While they both go about it in different ways and one (Legends) definitely does it better than the other (Evolution) I feel like Mega Man Legends and Evolution exist on that cozy axis in regards to their tone/worlds.

Obviously that's because they have similar premises (Adventurer explores ruins to make dosh + uncover some legendary thing that turns out to be a device with a 'kill all humanity/not!humanity function) and a main difference in that one is fantastical and has airships and what not while the other is a more down to earth and semi-realistic including crippling debt setting, but still.

Am I just trying to say I'd be down for a crossover between these two settings? Maybe.

Thinking about enstars fandom again. Me saying rinniki is canon isn't really being a shipper but more so I can just read. Like it's right there I can just read things with my eyes. Same thing applies to wataei as well. And shumika.

Im still rolling around in my head your ask regarding infodumping about wataei and one of my points was going to be that you cant really call a relationship integral to the understanding of the story itself just bait... well theyre the ones i can speak the most confidently on and that influenced a Lot of the story, my dearest protagonists. Im not really concerned with who says what is canon because i can read and assess for myself.

And now my usual tangents... there are interactions within ships that are clearly there for the fanservice but the existence of fanservice at times in a piece of media doesnt negate the beauty of the relationship involved...(im thinking about certain shmk scenes in shinsekai rn in particular. The existence of fanservice there doesnt diminish the fact that shu and mika have a very queer narrative. I'd need to go reread a bunch of older and newer valkyrie stories if i wanted to talk about the shift from abuse and alienation to healing and acceptance and becoming equal partners. And i do have my issues with how much of their characterization in !! does rely on the ship, id personally love to see mika's conviction to be a model for the orphanage kids more since it's been missing in the last few years. Antique legend you will always be famous. Anyway i really need to reread human comedy for any sort of meaningful analysis of valkyrie and i dont trust myself to try to analyze shit at 2am when i can barely keep my eyes open to begin with but i shall return to shu and mika one day. Or if anyone has written something on their evolution from ! to !! In particular id love to read it)

Not to be all ‘kids these days’ but watching Ergo Proxy really is a refreshing fall of rain after the 2010s. Not that there haven’t been weird slow-burn works coming out (HnK, No.6, Shinsekai Mori come to mind), but the real self-confidence of the work feels like it’s from a past era. The palette is muted, the character designs aren’t flashy, the series puts its stock in storytelling alone to make it stand out. It feels far more like a live-action drama in its minimalism.

Even tracking the evolution of Keiko Nobumoto’s works, which feel similar in tone to Ergo Proxy, there’s a marked 10-year skip from the moody works of the 00s (Wolf’s Rain, Samurai Champloo) to the loud and shiny works of the 10s (Space Dandy, Carole and Tuesday). The change in production sensibilities prioritized bright colour in the digital era, but alongside that the mood brightened considerably. When you look at acclaimed works in the past 10 years, you can also see that the big names are tilted towards kids’ shows with dazzling visuals. This is filtered through me being on the Kids’ Show Website and North American tastes favouring junk food; even so, I wonder if as the otakubait wave has risen it’s edged out adult animation…at all.

For my first post of 2020, have this Evolution “Millennium Special” telephone card, which is now on it’s way to being 20 years old.

When I get a chance, I’ll scan the postcard one that came with the Japanese strategy guide and upload it if it’s clearer/better quality.

Artwork of Mag & Linear in Kimonos. Whilst the Linear artwork was used in several places such as Telephone cards for the game, the Mag artwork was used seemingly only in a Dreamcast Magazine issue.

A bit of fanart on the Evolution 2 site shows Mag and Linear in these outfits.
