[fluff] Now Playing, from the Whole Fenspace Catalog

[Bob Schroeck]

A complete collection of Skysaber anime, including the motion pictures.  From every world that they've been to.  (Skysaber productions appear to be one of the few constants found in every universe.  In Sakura Taisen, they're the chief competitor to the Red Lad franchise.  In Buckaroo Banzai's world they rival Buckaroo's comics and books.  Even in pre-mass-culture worlds, traveling bards sing lays about Skysaber.  The girls are sure this means something. but even Skuld can't figure out what -- or so she claims.)

Zardoz - In every universe covered by the Whole Fenspace Catalog, if the local film industry is sufficiently mature, there will be a Zardoz. The actors might be different, the dialogue might be better (or worse!) than OTL's, the visuals slightly different to compensate for different cultural norms, but the overall story and major plot beats are always the same. It's always set in the post-apocalyptic future, the gun is always good, the penis is always evil and Sean Connery (or the local equivalent) will always wear an International Safety Orange diaper and matching bandoleer through most of the movie.

And in a not-entirely-desired case of convergence, there is one Zardoz starring Skysaber.
