Rescue Angel

January 8th, 2007

So Frothing Frost Fansubbers (I :wub: them) released a “fansub” which is kind of a feasibility/pitch video that came omake on one of the Rescue Wings DVD releases.

I thought to myself after watching it, “Man, ONLY IF.” Granted if Rescue Wings was about a woman pilot making in a male-dominated field of military aviation it would’ve come across as cliché, at least a little. Somehow I am glad the show still went on as we know it, but it would have been a lot more fun, and just maybe take off that “this is a paid commercial by the Japanese SDF recruitment department” edge a little.

Heck, it would have been the most countercultural and un-Mamiko role Mamiko could’ve played!

Or not.

    The end result is hardly recognisable.

    How many meetings do you think there has been where the ’suits’ have said, “hey, let’s replace that cute chick in the flying suit with a guy”?

    Weird.

    Have your cake and eat it: we loved Rescue Wings, and here’s Series 2: Rescue Angel. It’d be great if it was a kind of Hataraki Man with Wings.

    I’d actually be totally be up for a series continuation in that fashion. Especially if that’d mean we’d get to meet the old Rescue Wings cast again in that way~

    Wouldn’t hurt to have a sequel for Rescue Wings with a new recruit joining the group.

    I was checking it out on Youtube until it disappeared just this week.
