People randomly mix '80s anime with '90s anime and pretend that they came from the same era. The early '80s and the late '90s are totally different from each other.

In 1949, Tezuka depicted the first kiss in manga. Just because of that, he was threatened and called "national traitor" or "enemy who poisons kids." Some letter said "Go to the US and die there." In 1968, Nagai started Harenchi Gakuen. There is a huge change in the 19 years.

In a sense, Harenchi Gakuen's influence is bigger than that of Devilman. Manga for kids gained erotic and even pornographic elements because of that manga. It's more than the "ecchi" genre. It changed the whole shonen manga.

"Yoshiyuki Tomino-san called me in a panicked tone and said that a HDD didn't mount on his Mac. I visited the studio and found that it was just unplugged. I'm glad I saw Tomino-san immediately kneeling down and screaming, 'I am terribly sorry!'"

富野さんからMacにHDDがマウントしないとパニックな留守電があったのでスタジオに行ったら、こんな気遣い以前に2人でコンセントが抜けているのを発見。 富野さんの「申し訳ありませんでした!」と叫びながらのジャンピング土下座が見られたのでヨシ!

I'll wait until people realize that Tezuka was under the influence of pre-WW2 manga generations.

It's pretty fun to look back at the early big guys in anime and manga and realize Osamu Tezuka, Go Nagai, Tatsuo Yoshida and Shotaro Ishinomori invented every single archetype you know

"Anno-san fast-winded 13 episodes and satisfyingly said it's the true recap. TV Tokyo rejected it, saying, 'Is TV a joke to you?' When I reported it to Anno-san, he quit, saying, 'You already owe me one.'"

Anime shifted to otaku around 1985 because of mecha anime's failures and some bankruptcy. After that, anime split into mainstream/ adaptations of popular manga and niche OVA for nerds. In the '90s, NGE and some other anime succeeded by airing the latter type in the former media.

@out_sall Finally someone who gets it. It was pretty much the symptom of the anime industry shifting it's focus to otaku during the late 2000s and early 2010s due to the declining birthrate. Contrary to weeb opinion, otaku weren't originally the primary audience for anime.

I loved Togashi's manga not because he's the originator of something or his manga are deeper than others. His manga were much more chinibyo and edgelord by the old standard. He was so good at picking phrases and visuals that hype up teenagers.

I'm not sure why people were so surprised at Tatsuki Fujimoto's BL recommendations since manga fans know that BL is currently pretty interesting field for young skillful authors.

If you're trying to categorize Yoshiyuki Tomino as anti-woke or something, you should remember that he learned from Akiman's experience living in the US and got over his racist tendency at the time of Turn A.

Nadia's Island arc was a thing in NHK's initial plan. Anno's early plot memo includes it as well. They knew their production power wouldn't be able to support the long-running series, so they intended to leave the whole arc to the Korean subcontractor from the beginning.

Despite superficial similarities to the works of one of the industry's immortal titans, Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water is the work of the up-and-comers who would go on to produce the single most famous and impactful anime of the last thirty years.

Lost my mind here. Nobody translates comic book aesthetics to film like Hideaki Anno. Ang Lee got close with Hulk and everybody yelled him but he was right

The Evangelion rumors that fans believe without any evidence: 1. NGE ran out of budget. 2. Anno had a crush on Yuko Miyamura. 3. PTA's complains affected the schedule. 4. The crayon drawings from EoE were drawn by abused children
