Do you guys think the Sega Saturn's anime form was based on Sailor Saturn?
>>3001584
Not really. Hotaru's distinctive qualities are her hair and that she's especially skinny and short.
>>3001590
Just looked up if there were any SM games on the Saturn and apparently the Sega game is the only time you see Hotaru transform.
It doesn't make sense to make female anthromophisms of consoles.
Femlaes don't even play games.
They should really be boys.

1) it makes about as much sense as anthropomorphizing anything
2) you must be joking
3) you clearly don't understand why there are girl mascots of the systems.
this is too sophisticated to be bait, but it's so fucking wrong that it has to be.

eh... she looks a lot more like Miku, than Sailor Saturn. I mean, twin tails, pleated black skirt, belled detatched sleeves, and the general futuristic style all look like a vocaloid. honestly, if they gave her a tie, I would assume this was Miku
And given how old Sailor Moon is, I doubt the designers would have that in mind when designing this girl.

This makes me wanna never play Saturn again.
>>3001584
Why no Master System in the show
She's based on Nights.

Who are Mega Drive and Dreamcast based on? Space Channel 5 for the later?
>>3001584
Twin Stick = Twin Tail
Saturn is best girl
>>3002143
Space Channel 5 works.
No idea for Mega Drive.
I thought this was supposed to be getting a US release?
So are they gonna do another one of these? The first show was so much fun, then kinda feelsy at the end.
;_;
I liked the series until it started shifting towards post-/vr/ games I'd never heard of and even current games on mobile, at which point it felt like one giant ad. I can't really blame nostalgia either because I don't think I've actually played even half of the early games features in it. Nostalgia for the era rather than for the games in particular, maybe.
Soundtrack is fun.

She's in the radio drama, manga and novels alongside other Sega Hard Girls not in the anime such as SG-1000, Mark III, TeraDrive and Genesis.

Radio Drama? Manga? Novels?
>>3002143
Still no answer given.
>>3004330
Yep, it's a mix media franchise.

Amazing.

If anything, she looks more like Miku because she's drawn by the same designer/illustrator, KEI.
The anime anthromorphism of consoles only became a thing because of stuff like OS-tan and Vocaloid. Before that, it was more acceptable to present mascots, like Alex Kidd for Master System and Sonic for Mega Drive/Genesis.
In a way, they borrowed several elements from Ulala for the Dreamcast character, so if they were to follow the same pattern for Saturn, she'd be based either from Nights, Sakura Shinguji or motherfuckin' Segata Sanshiro

I think Mega Drive is based of a Phantasy Star character.
>>3007813
Not seeing it.
>>3007860
Phantasy Star Online

Could you explain how you came to the conclusion that Mega Drive is in any way based off a character from a Dreamcast game?
