Quote:Oh yeah, this series is Anachronism City... Here's another example, Jean -- apparently a well-raised European boy of the late 19th century -- is not at all flustered or embarassed by the absolutely scandalous amount of skin Nadia shows on a daily basis. In the real 1889, Nadia would probably have been shut up in a mental institution for her "exhibitionism".
If I was going to be historically accurate, I'd have to drop the bit where Nadia does the Tarzan yodel while swinging through the jungle, the bikinis worn by Grandis and Nadia, and Jean's jet expiremental aircraft (all of which were shown in the anime).
Put it all together and Doug's going to be very confused about the local year, even after he finds out what it is!
Quote:Doug's probably going to be halfway between amused and annoyed by the differences from the 1889 he's familiar with. "grumble grumble Can't trust anything I know from school grumble."
Although having Doug comment on the error might make for a good throwaway scene.
