Response--MEKA

1. Analyze: (a) Milieu primary
They’re trying to escape a giant mecha! Inside of a gigantic machine there are two tiny, insignificant humans going through corridors and escape hatches, down ladders, through hallways, trying to get out.

2. Rating: PG-13 There is language (although in French) and some brief nudity. The nudity is brief and covered up (they’re burning their clothes to get a signal through to the outside). There’s action adventure violence, mainly men against machines.

3. Springboard:
Being able to tell a small story within a big world. He's worked hard on his backstory and solidly developed everything. Like everyone else has mentioned, he obviously has a great knowledge of mechanical structure. However, he's also got a background in military organizations and procedures.

4. Apply:
Small story within a big world--theres so much history that isn't touched on. He doesn't bother talking about who's fighting or why--most of the setting outside the Mecha isn't even discussed. I'm not sure I'd like to live in this brave new world of his.
