The Astronomer Did you contact QSwitched with this proposal before creating this topic? No. Why?

I was wondering whether you are probing other's opinion after talking with QSwitched or simply gathering proposals.

Step 1: Get Good at Drawing Step 2: Learn Japanese Step 3: Create a COADE Manga or light novel through Pixiv in Japanese Step 4: License that into a popular anime series in Japan Step 5: Have that anime dubbed into english so that it's popular in the west I wonder what route the COADE manga/anime/visual novel/light novel empire should go for. Should it be like kantai collection where all the characters are schoolgirls that are personified ships? Should it be like Planetes and have a somewhat serious tone about space war? Should it be like lucky star or girls und panzer and have a slice of life focus? I don't know, but I think going for a light novel style anime where the MC is the only male and gathers a larger and larger harem or SoL cute girl anime would get the most nippon bux. We could always have Legends of the Galactic Heroes except with more hardcore science.

I mean, I could kinda see a COADE comic series (manga styled or otherwise) being interesting. Slice of life/drama could be interesting. After all, communications are a real problem on interplanetary scale. There's also the angle of "what do crews do with their time on long deep space voyages" as even with extremely efficient and powerful engines, most interplanetary maneuvers are weeks>months scale. Also most ships tend to have fairly small crews in fairly... cozy, living conditions. Realistically most would probably live aboard a station or larger fleet tenders. Then there's the fact where, even if the crew weren't specifically military, there'd still be military about. Civilians trying to work, when there's 2 opposed militaries both of whom you can't really say "no you can't take our fuel/supplies/life support" to because they can just kill you and take them anyways.

"Knights & Magic" has the protagonist designing better mechas than exist in his new world (and generally sparking a technological revolution), gathering a little harem along the way, and it got made into a popular anime (a good one, imo). You could do a similar route for spaceships, possibly civilian at first and moving on to military, or vice versa with military being primary and civilian ships for logistics. It would draw the right kind of crowd - those who identify with such a protagonist and want to play with designing things themselves. If you actually make the science hard, you'll get real engineering discussions generated from it. Regarding age of protagonists, there's even a valid reason for youth to be in spaceships: With low exhaust velocity propulsion, every gram counts. See the Rocket Girls anime for one way this can be played up. Agreed that slice of life/drama could be interesting, but it wouldn't bring CoaDE as much exposure. The Kantai Collection angle could be done, but I suspect it's quite a bit more effort than the others. So far we don't have many recognizable standard ships (unless you do purely stock ships, but they suck badly and everybody knows this).

With the new ship shapes possible, a new trailer might be useful.

With the new ship shapes possible, a new trailer might be useful. Those cylinders might not be the most exciting space ships. Some of the ships on this forum are both pleasant to look at and very effective at their tasks.

We could always have Legends of the Galactic Heroes except with more hardcore science. Lieutenant: we got em admiral! With the "narrow space" next to Venus, they can only approach frome one vector. Let's fill the "narrow corridor" with drones and missiles! Admiral: *beat* Admiral: You're fired. Out the airlock. XO! After a small struggle with the XO, the lieutenant is dragged screaming out of the CIC. The camera then focuses on the admiral, her hand just holding her grim, downcast face. Admiral: Narrow space? What an idiot.
