Ocean Girl Survey...
General.
01. Name/alias: Michiru Kaioh
02. Age: 15
03. Gender: female
Favourites.
Season: season 1 and 4
(why?: It’s the "cutest" season, and is more about character development, it seems, rather than to 'save the world'. Season 4 comes into a close second as it shares many of season 1’s qualities, and also has “mystical”/mythological elements added in.)
04. Character: Neri
(why?: She has a very cute, child-like personality that is simply adorable. *^^*)
05. Couple: Neri and Jason
(why?: Well, they’re one of the only obvious couples, but they’re usually pretty cute together. ^^)
06. Villian: Malakat and Shersheba
(why?: Admittedly, neither reached my expectations that I had of them in mind... but they made the most interesting villians, nevertheless. ::shrug::)
07. Actor, actress, or both: Marzena Godecki, Lauren Hewett
(why?: talented, expressive, cute/pretty.)
08. Song from the Soundtrack/show: The theme (“Ocean Girl” on the Soundtrack). Ohhhh... and you know that song that is played when Jason is saying goodbye to Neri in season 4? _That_ song. It’s sooo beautiful... x_X;
Least Favourites.
09. Season: season 3
(why?: It’s more based around “we must find the synchronium and save the world” than anything. It’s not very personal, or as ‘fun’ as the other seasons. Ironic, since it was the first series that I watched and absolutely _adored_ (I still adore it, though. ^^;). However, it does have the best ORCA cast, in my opinion...)
10. Character: Agent Jake Shelby, Louis Danton, Officer Danton
(why?: Shelby and Officer Danton lack emotion, personality, and are poorly performed. Louis is just annoying. -__-;)
11. Couple: Shersheba and Jason
(why?: This would be bad. _Bad_. -_____-; Of course, I don’t particularly like the idea of Jason with anyone except Neri, anyway. ^^;)
12. Villian: Agent Jake Shelby (and Praxis in general).
(why?: see #09.)
13. Actor, Actress, or both: Mark Neal, Michael Vietch
(why?: They give a very lifeless, boring performance lacking any personality, expression, or depth. And also, their voices are extremely abnoxious. -___-;)
14. Song from the Soundtrack/show: None, really. I love the music. ^_^
Choose.
15. Neri or Mera: Neri
16. Neri or Shersheba: Neri
17. Kerry Armstrong or Liz Burch: ::shrug:: both.
18. ORCA or UBRI: hmm... ORCA, I guess. Yeah.
19. UBRI or Praxis: UBRI
20. Original or Animated (-.-;): Original
21. Marzena or Lauren: Marzena
22. Shersheba or Malakat: ::shrug:: About the same...?
Fandom.
23. Have you written any fanfiction? (if so, give me the url or send it to me. ^_^)
I’ve written _tons_ of fanfiction. Unfortunately, most of them were really just to play with different ideas and “what-if” situations (which is what most of my fanfiction is anyway – seeing how far I can stretch and play with an idea), and were written about… 5 years ago, so are lacking in quality as well. ^^; I am currently working on a longer fanfiction that I do hope to finish sometime soon, however. ^_^
24. Do you have any fanart? (again, if you do, send it to me. ^^)
Yes. The few fanarts I have available for display are located at my Ocean Girl fansite.
25. Do you have an Ocean Girl related website?
Yes. Forever Blue.
26. Anything else?
Possibly a manga (based on the fanfiction I’m writing), but not likely. There’s a very good chance, however, that I will begin a radio play centered around the series.
Opinion.
27. If there were to be a fifth season, what would you like to see?
Hm. I would like to see more character development, a plot that isn’t entirely overused... hm. A plot with a lot of unpredictable twists. ::nod:: (season 4 did a fairly good job of that, though...) I would like to see Neri and Jason actually become a couple rather than friends who kiss occasionally. -__-;; I’d like to see Dianne get together with someone. Something directed more torwards an older audience. Just something unpredictable, though, is always good.
28. If there _were_ to be a movie, what would you like to see?
Perhaps a remake of the first season of Ocean Girl... reason being, aside from the actual fans of the series, it could be somewhat difficult for people to follow.
29. What actresses and actors would make decent replacements for the cast if there were to be another season or a movie?
I think Jessica Alba would make a decent Neri. ::thinks:: I honestly don’t know about any of the others, but I would be interested to hear some other opinions/suggestions... ^_^
30. Which would make for a more interesting setting: Earth (ORCA, the island, etc), The Planet of the Oceans, or Perhaps a mixture of both...? Miscellaneous. 31. When/why did you start watching Ocean Girl: I was extremely bored one Sunday about 5 years ago, so I flipped through the channels on tv and found “Flash Forward” on the Disney Channel mildy interesting. I continued watching, and I forget what else was on... but I also came upon “Spellbinder” (another Australian series) and Ocean Girl. All of the series were about half-way through, and it was at season 3 of Ocean Girl. It did not take long to get hooked. ^^ Though it was disappointing, as it was cut off almost immediately after I began watching it. ;_; 32. How many/which seasons have you seen? I’ve finally had the chance to see all four. 33. Out of curiosity, were you on the first Ocean Girl mailing list? Yes, but under a different name. ^^ 34. This should have gone under “general”, but I’m too lazy to go through and renumber every single question. x_x; Where are you from? Texas, USA 35. What attracted you to the series/why are you a fan of the series? I was probably originally attracted to the series because of the oceanic theme; I've always had an obsession for all things water and ocean related. ^^; Neri makes for an interesting character, and the whole concept, in my opinion... is interesting. ^^ ---- I’m getting tired now... -.-;; I may add more questions later. Or if you would like to add on, please feel free. ^__^ Michiru
