The Last Star - Revised
Series: The Last Star | Date Added: 2004-08-22 | Character(s): Alaska, Leaf, Amadra
L-R: Alaska (drifter woman); Leaf (alien prince); Amadra (evil alien princess). It occurred to me, looking back at my old project The Last Star, that it was horrible. I didn't realise it at the time, but it was absolutely classic exotic-girlfriend romantic-comedy horrible drivel, complete with loser guy, naked amnesiac alien princess, and obligatory pervert dude. And, while we have a gadzillion cookie-cutter exotic-girlfriend anime out there, you basically never see exotic-boyfriend. At least, not without the roles being completely reversed so the 'normal' girl is a total wimp and the alien (or whatever else) guy is badass and cool and not in the slightest bit awkward and inexperienced (feel free to chime in with examples - I want to be wrong there!).So, I swapped the gender-roles in The Last Star, leaving myself with a tough, buff, outcast ex-army drifter woman, and a naked, inexperienced amnesiac alien prince. I made the gruff starship captain into a sexy space pirate captain, and the evil stoic non-amnesiac alien prince who was engaged to the princess into an evil stoic non-amnesiac alien princess who was engaged to the prince. And what do you know, I'm liking it rather a lot. So there ya go :p
