#oban star racers sequel

[marimeeko]

For any remaining fans of OSR that follow me, I had a dream that a trailer released for the Oban Star Racers sequel

And it was actually very heavy on Nourasian culture and specifically other warriors? There were beautifully animated fight scenes Nd of course molly and Aikka, and even heard Jordans voice 😭

OK and the thing is, the trailer came out right after I started actually going to my local rec center for water aerobics classes(a silly little idea I want to explore now that we have moved) so maybe this is like a sign that HEY maybe go do that thing 🤣

[anitaofsamothrace]

An alternative universe where Oban: Star Racers got five seasons, several movies and a sequel easily, while Miraculous ended after twenty six episodes.

Oban Star Racers fans!

Gimme your craziest theory's! From the old show and for the upcoming sequel/spinoff

I'm craving for attention. I might trow some my dumb theroies here and there.

[ooccaaa]

I’m actually not okay about Oban Star Racers. I just finished my second rewatch of it and I have some feelings. Sappy rambling below with spoilers

I don’t know why it hit me this hard. I’ve seen Oban before, I knew how it ended and everything. I felt so sad for Jordan. I didn’t like Aika this time around. I’m happy for Molly. I wanted to know what Rick decided to do with his life. I’m nervous that Jordan won’t be coming back in the potential sequel series.

Honesty Jordan messed me up this rewatch. I thought he was cute and endearing, even if he was a little cringe, but then I started to get the feeling that he was only put in the show to satisfy the networks need for a boy protagonist. So I thought, okay that may be the case, actually it totally is the case. For the most part Jordan could be removed completely and nothing major would change. That made me sad, because I really liked him on this rewatch, I thought he was cute. It was like watching a person be destined to fail and still rooting for them anyways. Then, when the finale happened, I realized my biggest critic I had of the writing the first time I watched the show was completely wrong. See, I thought Jordan was severely underdeveloped and his motive for wanting to become the avatar came out of nowhere, but that’s only if you take what he says to Molly at face value, which I did. This time around, I realized that, no, he just said that to Molly to make her feel better. He literally sacrificed his whole human life to protect the girl he likes and knows she doesn’t feel the same way AND AFTER HE MAKES THE SACRIFICE HE STILL PROTECTS HER FEELINGS AND DOESN’T DEMAND ANYTHING FROM HER IN RETURN. Like, that is the most selfless act of love, kindness, respect, care literally ever and it really crushed me this time around when I realized that. AND HE CRIES. The last shot of him is him CRYING. I CAN’T. It hurt me so much. He will live so many lifetimes, far beyond what Molly and anyone he’s ever known ever will, based on a decision to save someone who never reciprocated the same kind of feelings that he did. Literally the best I love you fiction cartoon character Jordan.

AND I NEVER REALIZED THAT JORDAN’S GRANDPA ACTUALLY SHOWED UP IN THE SERIES

god I love this show so much

10 Characters | 10 Fandoms | Some Tags

Thank you for the tag, @starlight-and-thunder!

Molly aka. Eva Wei (Oban Star Racers) - this precious girl has been one of my favorites since discovering this underrated show. She's got such a great personality, and I love how a show in 2006 really said "we are going to allow this 15 year old girl to be angry, bitter and sad and have the ones responsible for it actually acknowledge their wrongdoings". Absolute gem of a character and story.

Flulu (I Was a Teenage Exocolonist) - as a lot of my newer followers probably know, I absolutely adore Flulu. She works so hard for the colony, all while also trying to take care of Sol to the best of her abilities. I love how, even if you make choices where their relationship isn't the best, you can still tell that she loves them and that everything comes from a place of genuine care.

Arthur Pendragon (Seven Deadly Sins) - my boooooyyyy!!!! Arthur is my absolute SON, and what the author has turned him into is criminal! SDS in general is a big ol' tire fire, but Arthur was the one precious, shining light in the darkness, and I hate what he's become in the sequel. Still love what he used to be, though, and that's the character I cling to.

Su Lüxia (Cheating Men Must Die) - want to see justice done for the characters who suffered, just so the so-called protagonists could have their happy ending? Well, Su Lüxia is here to do just that! She is a Queen and not at all a good person in the traditional sense, but she doesn't need to be. I like Lüxia for the catharsis she brings, whenever the bad people finally get what's coming to them, and for the hints of her true self shining through in those brief moments.

Naven Nuknuk (Epithet Erased) - a mild-mannered little man with a lot of power, who cares for a group of children and probably has a secret agenda? Yes please. I adore characters who are morally grey, but hide their intentions so well, you don't know where you've got them. Add in a soft spot for kids, and I am guaranteed to love them.

Qifrey (Witch Hat Atelier) - a mild-mannered man with a lot of power, who cares for a group of children and definitely has a secret agenda? (Wait... this sounds familiar.) I love Qifrey for all the same reasons, I love Naven, and I'm not afraid to say it. He's also just precious, and I would die for him.

Sidon (Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom/Age of Calamity) - I love Sidon so much, I actually squealed at his re-appearing in TOTK. Anytime I see this man, I smile. He deserves good things, end of story.

Orie Harada (Oli Oli Soup) - Orie is a comfort character to me, living the life I dream of. Working as a bookbinder, and spending her days eating good food and being enthusiastic about it. She's funny, creative, and realistic in all the best ways.

Alpha (Yokohama Shopping Log) - Alpha and her story falls into a similar box as Orie and Oli Oli Soup: a character and story that brings me peace and comfort, even in the quiet melancholy. On every re-read I smile, laugh, and cry with Alpha during her time in a world that's slowly falling apart, but even so life still goes on.

Marak Sixfinger (The Hollow Kingdom) - the ones who know me for my Elsewhere University fanfics are aware, that Foxglove is Jareth's (Jim Henson's Labyrinth) son... but Foxglove himself is actually more inspired by Marak of Clare B. Dunkle's Hollow Kingdom books. He's cunning, he's a smartass, he's every bit the tricky goblin king I adore, with a soft spot for his not-fully-human wife. This guy is 100% why I love Foxglove and writing him so much.

I don't think my fics worthy enough to be stolen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

See above, just with translating

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

@dkrosi was the sole inspiration for Scary, like a little black purring kitten, does that count?

I'd write it in the same language as the fic, but note that they switched to another language and use italics to show what's said in another language.

Reveal Your Watch & Rewatch List

woke up to lovely @gooseras tagging me so here’s my list! you can usually find what i’m watching on the desktop site as well, it’s up on the leftmost corner.

watching:

gap: this is the one series i watch immediately when it comes up these days

tvn mine: slowly making my way through because i’m also giffing it when i have time; i’ve also written my first fanfic because of this show. it’s insane.

if you don’t mind me plugging in my other side blog, i’m also watching & giffing leverage redemption

soshi tamtam: already missing summer and the girls

choco milk shake 😭

between us: i find it incredibly funny because i haven’t seen the sequel, but it’s also such a quiet little show it’s nice to watch to wind down

rewatching:

kinnporsche: nothing gave me the high that was kinnporsche airing this year and i mean. i’ve done really interesting stuff this year, not the least of which is getting into grad school. nevertheless, gap is becoming a close second, which reminded me of kinnporsche, so i’m rewatching.

oban star racers, something that resurfaced from my teenage years. they recently released the blu-ray version with the local dubs on their kickstarter page. 

plan to watch: i’m not sure to be honest, whatever strikes my fancy. the only certainty is i’m going to watch work later drink now season 2, which premiers tomorrow. it looks like they’re going camping this season, it’ll be hilarious.  the golden spoon has yook sungjae and choi wonyoung duo from mystic popup bar which i loved so that’s on my list. I’ll probably watch summer strike at some point. i’ll definitely check out may i help you? because of lee hyeri. cheer up looks really uplifting and fun. and yeah, whatever else strikes my fancy!

Okay, I’m tagging @jangman-wol @winteams @gillianthecat @love-springs @luckydragon10 @panncakes and anyone else who wants to, if you’ve already done it, send me a link! 💌

[anjellion-drawthings]

Yo, does Oban Star Racers count for Disney? Jetix was neat, and that show was great. Plus, the reward to be part of the gods could work for the Light is not Good Trope for HoL 2. Eva "Molly" Wei's tale could be interesting to prevent free will from being erased from that, in a sequel of the OG series.

Jetix is in a weird grey area where I will not count it personally until Disney acknowledges it. (outside of SRMTHG)

There are also just complicated copyright situations, which can be read about here.

Maybe in the future, this will change and Disney will fully acknowledge the Jetix programs as part of the brand. (and by that, I mean realizing the nostalgia money market for those shows… like they have done times before…)

OBAN Star Racers 15th Anniversary

Hi fellow Oban fans!

As I said in a previous post, today was the celebration of Oban’s 15th anniversary, which was held in Paris in a little cinema. It was obviously hosted by Savin Yeatman-Eiffel himself, as well as Stanislas Brunet who worked on the mecha and background designs.

So it went like this: Savin made a presentation about the series in itself, how the idea came to be, the first sketches made by himself and his friends, and all the struggles he and Sav! The World studios faced during the production. The hardest part was finding funds to produce the series, since making a single episode can cost up to half a millions euros.

The French VAs of Molly and Aikka were there too, and they redubbed one of the scenes live! The funniest part was that the guy who did Aikka’s voice is a tall, bearded, burly guy with the kind of voice you’d expect from a dude with that build; and yet when he did Aikka’s part I was speechless!!! Then Savin invited two people in stage to redo the dub for fun. The girl who did it had a voice that strangely sounded like Molly’s, but the poor guy who did Aikka’s part probably didn’t remember the passage well despite the subtitles and stammered a lot. But it was nice!

Savin had planned to talk about The Two Queens movie but he didn’t have the time. I asked him about the project afterwards, and he told me that he still wanted to do it, but like Oban, he had troubles funding it. By the time he pitched it, Netflix was not into funding indie projects yet. He also started working on other projects with several studios so The Two Queens had to unfortunately be put on stand-by.

And then. OH THEN. He talked about the thing we ALL wanted to know:

The Sequel

Savin explicitly asked us to not film or take pictures, so I won’t talk about it in detail. But basically there is not one, but THREE project ideas:

1) A sequel based on the picture released back in 2017 with a brand-new plot but still related to the Oban lore. He doesn’t know if the girl would be Molly or Molly’s descendant.

2) An Aikka spin-off prequel. I WAS SO HYPED.

3) A sequel where Molly takes up on Aikka’s offer to visit his planet.

He tested the waters to see which project seemed to please us the most, which was project 1 - I told him, to quote my own words “I’m team Aikka, so my hype for the second project is HELLA BIG, but I honestly won’t care I’m willing to pull out the chekbook as long as it’s Oban related” - and project 2 was rather popular but we suggested he switched media (like making a comic).

I asked him the same question I asked Thomas Romain when I met him at the Japan Expo Sud back in 2018: could we help funding it through Kickstarter for example? Unfortunately, like the original series, we’re talking about millions of euros here so we can’t help that much.

Then we moved on to the next part: VIDEO GAMES. There was a Nintendo DS game originally planned but the studio let him down at the last minute. He showed us some footage of the game which looked quite good (mid-2000s DS game relatively speaking).

He also officially announced that today was released an Oban fangame via Playstation Dreams called Oban Star Racers Dreams by Sky Isle Studios.

There’s also another game - still in its project phase - for PC which would hopefully be released in a few years.

Last but not least: if you guys follow Savin Yeatman-Eiffel on twitter, you might know that he got back the rights of Oban and has been gradually collecting the dubs that had been made (apparently the Brazilian release stopped at ep 18, which means they never got the end!!) to re-release the series as blu-ray. The said blu-ray collection will be up on Kickstarter in Frebruary 2022, with several stretch goals and packs - from the complete OST digital release to packs with original drawings and figurines - so stay tuned!

Although he knows the fandom never died, Savin hopes that we can gather new people and touch a larger public. I suggested for example to release the show on Netflix, because it will find some new public!

I’m super hyped for the OSR sequel~

I have no doubt these three will meet again :3

[lovelesskiaart]

Eva’s sequel design is so cool ⭐

[meeko-mar]

**FOR FELLOW OBAN STAR RACERS FANS!**

As you may, or may not know, Savin Yeatman-Eiffel, the Creator of Oban Star Racers, has just opened the Kickstarter for Blue-ray OSR collections, along with other goodies!

According to his post on his Insta, since launching this morning, they have already met their goal!

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Savin Yeatman-Eiffel (@eiffelsavin)

But go have a look and maybe support the kickstarter anyway, because at this point, it's icing on the cake!

Additionally....

One of their goals with this Kickstarter, is to also gauge their audience's interest in the Series, because as you ALSO may or may not know, they DO have development for an OSR SEQUEL in the works.

So if there are any followers still out there who I have picked up via the Oban fandom, I would just like to let you know that this is a thing, and if you want to see a sequel as much as I do and own some Bluray copies of the show and maybe get some other goodies, like a little art book, production images, an enamel pin of Molly's music player?

But just go support it in any way if you can, and spread the word to reach the other fans, because if this does well, it can only HELP the production of the OSR sequel!

And as well, if you don't know Oban Star Racers? Go check it out! it's a great show, 26 episodes long, lovable female protag, lots of racing and interesting character design in alien setting, excellent character drama, and I would say just a smidge of a "love triangle", without being completely overdone and obnoxious about it. It actually very sweet on all sides(and enough angst to make it interesting)

It's about reuniting a broken family, the pain of loss/grief, abandonment, found family, betrayal, redemption, a character suffers through the loss of the one thing that defines him and has to cope with that through training the next generation... Love, sacrifice, friendship, doing the right thing, and more, set to what seems like a simple space race reminiscent of Pod-racing, that has very large, COSMIC consequences.

Please go give it a watch, I will always recommend this one!

[crescent-star-world]

Been rewatching Oban Star Racers a lot, so I had to draw them and my best girl Molly, Plus drawing Grown up Molly, Aikka and unnamed Crog from the upcoming sequel (I can't wait!)

[kiose]

Recently I’ve been thinking too much about Ōban Star-Racers and how much i loved it when I was younger...
