#netflix doesn't have #RocketGirls either but they DO have #DungeonMeshi, which I've been wanting to see for a while.
And the subtitles are even fine in the browser version.
Hmm, I might have to look into adding #TheTooPerfectSaint to my reading list, since I doubt it will ever get the second season it so richly deserves (see also #RocketGirls and #MoretsuPirates for other series so rudely robbed of their just rewards).
@Steveg58 @ami_angelwings DOH! I just checked the iPad books app and they have the FIRST two #RocketGirls novels but not the 3rd and 4th.
Which, to the best of my knowledge, have never been translated, and are also the two that cover the material AFTER the anime.
@Steveg58 @ami_angelwings OK, thanks. So #RocketGirls may not be ENTIRELY unreasonable in that regard. But I believe I will retain some degree of scepticism.
@ami_angelwings yeah, much as I love #RocketGirls, I’ve always ALWAYS been aware that the author is male and that his understanding of female healthy weights is HIGHLY questionable.
Look, I’m a dude and maybe, maybe, 40kg IS a healthy weight for a Japanese teenage girl.
But I’d never base an entire SF light novel series on that premise… https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2012/12/06/rocket-girls-1995-by-hosuke-nojiri/
@gcvsa @ami_angelwings I concur with the mention of Valdemar - there’s plenty of decent films there just ripe for the making.
On a more personal note, I wish we had gotten more #RocketGirls, but that’s just my #SpaceMovies fan talking…
@Steveg58 But with years having passed with no sign of either, I alas expect nothing as #RocketGirls joins #MoretsuPirates in the abandoned pile…
Good news/ Bad news time
Bad: Neither #HiDive nor #CrunchyRoll seem to have #RocketGirls
Good: CR DOES have #Planetes
@quixoticgeek Hmmm. I might need to rewatch #RocketGirls again and dream of the second season that show deserved, but never got, to adapt the 3rd and 4th light novels (which didn’t get translated, alas)… https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2012/12/06/rocket-girls-1995-by-hosuke-nojiri/
@ami_angelwings My two favourite “need a sequel but will never get one” shows are #BodaciousSpacePirates and #RocketGirls.
