I don't think it would be a direct sequel starring Shiro. I think it would just take place in the same universe, in the same country Shiro is from, years later. |

I don't want to see the reentry (although if you think a reentry has no potential for drama you are wrong) so much as I want to see what the effect the flight had on the two countries... Did it stop the war, start a space race, or was the news just censored by the other country?

spoiler[The re-entry was a success. Didn't anybody see the ending credits?]
I'm being particularly generous with that spoiler, given how old the movie is. |

I am not sure if this was reported but the latest news on Aoki Uru is that it was presented at Cannes Film Market.

I've never seen this movie, but it looks interesting. I do know that Bryan Cranstan (Walter Waite from Breaking Bad) voiced a role in it early in his career, but not much else.
This is probably the only anime of any kind to see an HD DVD release. 
Maiden Japan (sister company to Sentai) currently has the US license. |

Was it? I forgot. I just got the feeling it was left vague for some reason. Especially considering how many arbitrary promotions he had in such a short time, I wouldn't have been surprised if the ending was supposed to imply he got the ole' double-promotion. |

How can you not want a sequel? Anything set in the same world would be amazing. The reason I hold the film so highly is because of the tremendous creativity behind it. I don't need to know what happened to the characters I just want to SEE that world again. I shared my enthusiasm on their Facebook page a month back after it got a supposed film fest listing. Hoped I would get a "like" from the Gainax representative running the page but nope :< it was that film that made me into the rabid Japanese animation that I am today. I cannot wait to show it to my son when he is older! |

Because for me, Royal Space Force is not only about the world Gainax created but also about the message the film conveyed. Doing a sequel for this film is nothing more than a cash grab. Nothing in RSFs message needed any kind of sequel. Doing one cheapens the film and its message.
I don't share their enthusiam because this sequel if it's ever done will be nothing more than a cash grab. I would praise more Gainax if they'd do something original instead, like you know when they made RSF in the first place. |

Funny, I thought spoiler[during the end credits we see Shiro having successfully landed in a splashdown in an ocean in those ink wash sketches]. |

I can see how easy it is to miss it given how faint the images appear and the way the credits scroll past it the entire time. |

Ah Gainax how about doing something new for a change ?
