Right, I'm just gonna... own my fruitcake?

E's Otherwise
07-Ghost
Galaxy Railways (2?)
Gintama
Darker than Black?
Sakura Wars?
Planetes

So I'm um. Constructing vid source for a book series out of anime. At present I am actually mostly shopping uniforms; I have a sufficient number of soldier characters to cast that you know, I really ought to get them matching? Later I'll look for other things. Anime Characters Database unexpected boon--you can search by like, hair and eye color.

I seem to be gravitating towards the pointy chin, tiny nose, ENORMOUS EYES anime style. Galaxy Railways looks like it might be too realistic to match other footage, but it has SPACE, so I'm hanging onto it for now.

I am trying to walk the line between "so rare it's impossible to find copies" and "so popular even I've heard of it and viewers will recognize it and get thrown out of constructed reality."

Um. Yes.

ETA: okay, going nowhere in vid, but I am totally adopting this lady as the illustration to [personal profile] philomytha's story Grey. And then Ivan's head exploding a lot.

Thought this might help: Planetes is about space trash collectors, and has lots of people and mechanical things in space.

Oh, yes, Ivan's head would definitely explode a lot! That's perfect.

... I applaud your possibly futile effort because I would *so watch that vid*. Have you tried Rah-Xephon?

The idea of such a vid is awesome. I'd love to see it work.

If you're going for semi-obscure, though, Darker than Black may be edging it.

As for other possible footage, maybe Tytania? Space *and* uniforms, and relatively obscure. Though fairly realistic in art style.
