Hello all, first post, but I've been lurking for several years and usually have my questions answered before I need to start a topic, but this one I have not been that lucky with.

I am a big fan of Blue Gender but have always been weary of buying the movie since it is supposed to be mostly recap and recap films leave a bad taste in my mouth (RahXephon anyone?).

My questions is what is the different ending supposed to be? The series ending is a bit rushed and I just don't see how the movie could be any better.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The movie version entirely edits several of the plot threads from the series (there's nothing in the movie, for instance, about spoiler[Sleepers or Council intrigues] and changes some details in other places, although the fundamental story is the same. The ending is significantly different; the movie basically caps with the part about spoiler[Marlene trying to save Yuji from himself and entirely rewrites how the stuff on the space station gets resolved]. It doesn't even cover what goes on in the last couple of episodes.

If you didn't like the way the RahXephon movie was handled then you're unlikely to like Blue Gender: The Warrior, either. It holds together a bit better and makes a bit more sense but is still basically the same kind of condensation/rewrite.

Thanks for the quick reply, I figured as much, but I was hoping the answer would be the opposite Very Happy .
