The anime is serious. It's bleak, a crap-sack world for sure. There in intrigue, combat and politicks; there is social and cultural opposition that keeps the wars going. People die, other people hate the one's that made their loved ones die, and the serious business goes on unabated.
And then, to break the mood and inject some humor, we have this totally relaxed, and absurdly funny fan-service-ladden
BEACH EPISODE!Everyone drops their reasoning for fighting and such, and chills together with one another in funny, entertaining and at times utterly absurd events that span this day of non-serious, innocent play, complete with possible situations that makes it a totally borderline-hentai episode. The audience has had it's dose of humor-relief, character's has had their time of messing around and the serious mold is broken, for now.
Until the next day, ofc, where it's back to business as usual.
Cool! I'll make an IGS thread right away!
NO NO, STOP!
Don't do that man, there is no way we can keep this fully IC - if at all possible we will have to strip the social and political ramifications from our toons to be part of this; it will likely be hillarious and alot of fun just to mess about with this, but frankly, can you envision Imperials, Federals, criminals of every stipe, slavers, freedom fighters and so on and so forth just chilling and camping out with one-another in a total IC setting?
Hell no. If this is to at all happen, we will have to effectively ignore everyone's alignment and beliefs in the context of each other, and rely entierly on their personality and non-capsule skills, in relation with what the effectively ammounts to a perfectly random group of people who we are not all politically opposed to. Because, if nothing else, this will be an utterly out-of-character move for 90% of all our characters, and if we don't we will be murdering each other with sticks and stones within the span of 20 minutes.
