There are other
anime series and movies that have inspired ideas which I have
developed to fit in the Solar Echoes universe. Bodacious Space
Pirates (seems to be a trend in silly anime titles—perhaps they are
lost in translation?) focuses on a female high-school starship crew,
and it has a surprisingly deep and high-quality overall design
regarding the physics of space, military maneuvers, and electronic
warfare. Anime movies have also had an impact upon me, and I
particularly enjoyed the extremely impressive quality and deep
storyline of Vexille, and the Appleseed and Ghost in the Shell
movies. I also recently watched Harlock: Space Pirate, and not only
was it of equally impressive quality, but the starship battles were
nothing short of epic. I still try to keep a fairly steady diet of
science-fiction in my life, and I find that it all keeps my mind
turning over new ideas for future Solar Echoes content. Anime
continues to inspire me, and I'm always excited seeing others sharing
their creative visions of the future. I'd highly recommend giving
anime a serious try—I'm sure glad I finally did!
