This was my entry in the Project NeoEditor bonus round, and finished first among the three entries submitted.
Space Opera has been one of my favorite genres for a long time, and I wanted to pull in several different sources. Since the theme was to go from “slice of life” to “adventure,” I decided on using Haruhi as a framing device, especially the Day of Saggitarius episode. The other sources were pretty much determined by “what do I have that’s both space opera with BIG FLEETS that’s also widescreen?”
The music was inspired by a rather old Kusoyaro/RYS collaboration Amazing Stories, which I saw and loved the music to, since I never saw the series it was the theme to. The version I used is a slightly slower-paced version (1:10 from originally 1:03) from a collection of Sci-Fi theme songs.
I had fun with this one, and I want to combine several great fleets in combat against each other again sometime.
