Old Skool
« on: April 24, 2015, 09:17:20 AM »

What old anime are you watching?
I just watched Otaku no Video for the first time.
I think it might be my favorite work of gainax.
It's like a time capsule of otaku culture.
I really enjoyed the interviews.
Whilst some of them were depressing, I think there's a beauty to that passion.
Does anyone know where they got their statistics from?

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is the only current series I'm watching. Everything else that I'm watching is 70s and 80s.

Whilst some of them were depressing, I think there's a beauty to that passion.

Assuming you mean the live action interviews, that's the joke. Those were all Gainax employees.

I got the Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water and Maison Ikkoku BD rips much to the dismay of my HDD.

Does that include the white guy?
What about the cel thief? Was that bit staged?
Gainax can't allow gaijin filth to work there.

It's a mockumentary so I'd assume so.

I did the same thing.
Did you watch 0079 first?
I'm watching through the 0079 movies before I give Zeta a second shot.

I just watched Daicon III and IV for the first time.
Really impressive for amateur work.
It's a shame we don't get that sort of thing much more these days.

III was whatever, but IV was great.

You should watch Honneamise next if you haven't since it was their first real production with the all star Gainax lineup and an 800 million yen budget behind them. Needless to say it's a stunning piece of animation.

I'll check Onneamise out sometime.
I thought III was great amateur work considering their staff constraints and budget.
There's some really interesting memoirs from one of the guys who worked on DAICON III

I watched some more episodes of 0079, it's kind of growing on me I guess. But Char is still the highlight of each episode.

I just saw MD Geist.
It was fucking rad.
The animation was surprisingly great for such a trashy ova.
