Time for a new game! Make up your own spin-off.
The rules? Pick a character, any character, from an anime series or movie, and develop a spin-off series or movie around that character. It can be a major or minor character, but not the lead character or protagonist.
Me first.
Franca from Coyote Ragtime Show. This little known anime series is not one of my favorites, but it was entertaining with at least one standout character. Franca is a young teen who runs a bar she inherited from her late father. Her customers are some of the worst dregs in the galaxy, but Franca can more than handle herself. No one gets out of line much, because they all fear Franca. Tough enough to accompany Mister on his quest, I would like to see some of Franca’s own adventures.
Hansel and Gretel from Black Lagoon. These ill-fated cross-dressing homicidal twins are pretty popular with Black Lagoon fans, although they appear in only two episodes. We do get a bit of a backstory, but I want more details! How did these kids become such lethal assassins? A prequel is in order.
Mamimi from FLCL. There have already been two sorry-donkey sequels to FLCL. Pity as the original is an unmatched classic. But I would like to know more about Mamimi and her adventures. We know at the end of FLCL that she leaves town to become a photographer. I would like a series showing exactly what happens on Mamimi’s road to life.
Maybe more later. First, it’s your turn.
