[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 8195110, member: 5142"] A show clearly about a writer who learned about medieval European economics and wanted to write about it. A played a spice-trading merchant character inspired by Lawrence in a game of 7th Sea. My friend incidentally played a viking from the same country. It was a session or two before we realized that we basically created Han Solo and Chewbacca. Macross/Robotech (Macross SDF-1 > Next Generation > Southern Cross) holds up surprisingly well for me. I think that's because as a kid you think you are watching a show about mechanized fighter planes that transform into mecha and fight giant aliens, but IN TRUTH you are really watching a romantic show about a love triangle. AND the main character is NOT the best fighter pilot. The main character choses the older career military woman OVER the young pop star. (Compare with one of the Macross sequels where the main character was the best pilot and chose both the older and younger pop star. /cringe). Blessed be Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind manga. /prayer. The Nausicaa influence was one of the things that initially attracted me to Numenera. My favorite Ghibli film is Mononoke Hime, but the Nausicaa manga is possibly my favorite Miyzaki thing overall. I highly recommend Twelve Kingdoms. It's a girl from Japan sent to a fantasy "China" story with lots of Byzantine bureaucratic terminology. The first 5 episodes are dodgy as the main character will seem insufferable at first, but I swear it gets FAR BETTER once you meet "the rat." Characters have legitimate character arcs! Also, if you like sci-fi, I recommend Crest/Banner of the Stars, which is basically Elf Space Empire vs. Racist Humans. I have occasionally used seafaring elves who worship the "Court of the Stars" as a result of this series. [/QUOTE]
