Would you support a remake of Mars of Destruction?

Trolls and jokes aside, Mars of Destruction is really a terrible anime. However, the plot has some amazing potential, which was unfortunately wasted in a 17 min short movie full of shitty animation, shitty voice acting and all kind of shitties.
What if some studio were to take the idea and license of MoD and actually make something good out of it? Would you support it?
Think about the possibilities it has, the hype would grow naturally, the license can't really be expensive, and if properly made it could surprise tons of anime fans.
If we can gather enough support we can start a petition and see how it goes.

I think a lot of people would probably rag on it just because of it's name, regardless of the quality it may or may not have. And, honestly, why not just create something without the name and the baggage it entails? Though I don't know what people thought of it in Japan.

Me? If I happened to like it, that's great. I definitely wouldn't be part of a petition, though.

Yes, but not for the plot. I think it would make a better parody anime. By that I mean if they made it...aloof and not take itself too seriously, kinda like a Tarantino film.

That would be plagiarism I think, and I don't know what people in Japan think either, but their opinion can't be much different from ours.

Wait, this thread is suggesting a remake of a plot where we are from mars and the martians are from earth?

Onliy if its directed by JJ Abrams with effects by Michael Bay and produced by Guillermo Del Toro.

A nicely made remake of Mars of Destruction WOULD be something that I would gladly see, since literally nothing made sense.

But yeah, I was trolling about the " greatest thread " and " martians " bit.

It was just breathtaking the way they mentioned that we didn't belong to this planet near the end of the show lol

Hell yeah!

Too bad that, judging by how things tend to go nowadays in the anime industry, it's probably gonna end up being a magical-girl/mecha show revolving (hopefully) around the girl that got her head blow off in the first five minutes...

MoD makes people very mod indeed

I'd love to see a "good" MoD, however it can never redeem the black mark the original has created so it'd be kind of hard no matter how much production value would be put into it.

Any remake would have to be quite different from the original. An attempt to simply re-do the original to make it technically better would cause it to lose all of its hideous charm. Maybe somebody could salvage a good story from this train wreck, but it would then have a completely different feel and wouldn't be worthy of the title "Mars of Destruction."

I wouldn't mind seeing a parody spin-off of some sort. Maybe a spin-off telling the story of the girl who had her head blown off would be a good choice; she could get up and start walking around for no particular reason, and the series could follow her as she either continues to fight the enemy, ends up joining them, or simply destroys everything in her path like any good headless girl should. I can just imagine it. Blood would spurt out from her neck with every step, and perhaps her body would gradually rot. Maybe a perverted guy would fall in lust with her and attempt to get down her pants. Dogs would follow her and eat the parts that fall off. The possibilities are endless, and they are all bad.

Anyone else thought that this title really has to be a pilot and not a full-fledged OVA?

It seemed obvious to me, judging from the shallowness of the plot and character development, and from the speed at which it is exposed, that it had to be a pitch for a potential series. But the producer in charge released it as an OVA somehow. I can't seem to find any information regarding this on the net, so this theory cannot be confirmed, but it sure sounds plausible to me.

Overall, Mars of Destruction is pretty bad, but definitely not the worst Anime ever. I felt like it was an attempt at capitalizing on NGE's success, judging from the many ideas that were taken out of it.
It's messy, bland and boring, which is also true of NGE, but at least it didn't waste as much of my time.

I think there could be potential in building a series around the plot twist presented at the end of Mars of Destruction, but the whole concept would have to be rethought. The battles were ridiculous, the use of music dreadful and the character design nonexistent.

I wish they'd do it with these glorious 3d graphics, you know like in God Eater and Ajin, these can actually prove to be good for health, because I did feel an increase in blood circulation in my eyes. Also character movement in this type of animation helps develop empathy for challenged individuals, just in the spirit of good old Mars of Destruction. Hell, it has to be shown in schools for proper education of youth.

Everytime I watch this OVA I keep getting the feeling that it was intended to have more episodes but the episode flopped so badly they didn't bother to make the next episode.

Yes I agree the animation is awful but in fairness its nowhere near the worst Anime I have ever seen

Even the bible has better writing than MoD. I don't think there would be any reason to remake something that's already so terrible. It's like trying to save one of your soldiers after you saw all of his limbs get blown off. It's much more efficient to just send him home than to try to make him ready for battle.
