Those who know me know that I’m a huge anime fan. Back in Vancouver, my collection was 3000 dvd’s deep. So it should come as no surprise that Dark Matter was heavily influenced by the genre, everything from the character of FOUR and his connection to the Principality of Zairon to FIVE who is a kindred spirit to Cowboy Bebop’s Radical Edward. One of my favorite visuals from the world of anime is the tiny girl with the giant gun, seen in the likes of Iria from Iria Zeiram the Animation, Seras Victoria in Hellsing, and, most recently, Mine and her beloved Pumpkin in Akame Ga Kill. During the season 1 gallery shoot, Jodelle was posing for photos when I handed her a prop – Bubba, THREE’s oversized gun, and we snapped a bunch of pics. Seeing her wielding that oversized weapon, I realized I would have to write it into an upcoming season 2 story.
Hey, if you ever get the chance, you should definitely check out the Dark Matter subreddit. Lots of great discussions and posts from fellow Dark Matter fans. Like this one I found particularly touching…
