Not that I wouldn't at least be curious enough to at least watch a little of the end product, but it's an odd concept to continue like this. |
Well, this new project wouldn't be the first time a sequel is made. Compile Heart/Idea Factory made a RPG/Visual Novel game for PS3 called Megazone 23: Blue Garland, which told an alternate universe sequel that ignored Parts II & III, instead telling a story that took place 20 years after Part I, & updated the "world" of the Megazone into a 00s-era environment.

Speaking of Megazone 23, why hasn't the original been rescued here yet? It's not like the license is tied up like Macross is and you'd think Sentai would get on that.

It's going to be a very tough challenge trying to find fans of 1980s Megazone 23 to support the crowdfunding project, but I hope it will be a success.

Given how little money they are asking for, I don't see how they can afford to hire a team of 3DCG animators.

Well Otaku is a dirty word in the modem fandom, so even those who are technically Otaku will denounce anything Otaku.

The best episode of Megazone 23 is the one that doesn't have Mikimoto as character designer. That is Megazone 23 Part 2, when the Megazone encounters its epic end

Technically, they still retained Mikimoto's design for Eve anyway, but that's all. OTOH, the second film is all you need to see, please never see "the third".
