VOTOMs is to Metal Gear as Ideon is to Evangelion (no really, check out the rest of this thread!)

For instance I don't think there's enough talk on just how much Votoms influenced Metal Gear! And I don't just mean the hard sci-fi military theme but a lot of particulars too!

Oh cool so apparently socialism is ok if you’re an airline but very bad if you can’t afford food or healthcare so they cut SNAP and Medicaid

Do people in America just not think about the fact that a poor nation we have sanctioned since the 1960s has a longer average life expectancy than us

@zeonicscans @Petsuchan Genuinely curious, does it seem like western anime/sci-fi fans mischaracterize Fukui because a large body of his work is not legally available?

@JapanimationPod Hey guys, I really enjoyed the in-depth look at Ideon. It’s always exciting to listen to well researched podcasts about anime production. I’d love to see you guys tackle Ryosuke Takahashi’s work in the future. I’m watching Blue Comet SPT Layzner and it’s amazing!

So movie studios are abandoning the US completely and turning their full staff American workers into contractors to get out paying for healthcare which just makes those workers even vulnerable to the healthcare system. While the US loses one of its iconic industries.

@MercuryFalcon The premise is insane. It was very cool to see this on the big screen! Some of the most impressive animated gunfights I’ve seen in a long time. My understanding is that the blurays are selling well and 2 more installments are on the way.

Finally got around to watching Virgin Punk and absolutely loved it. Need a sequel where they fucking kill this guy!

Not only did Disney pay nothing in income taxes this year, it received a $1.428 billion tax refund after making $12 billion in profits.
"Corporations will create jobs if you give them more tax breaks" is a total scam.

@kurrrto Junichi Hayama did a great job with character design and animation direction. Also doesn’t hurt that it has a roster of very skilled key animators like Norio Matsumoto, Hiroyuki Okiura, Takahiro Kishida, Satoshi Kon, Toshiyuki Tsuru, and Madahiro Ando just to name a few.

I think that's because of corruption at the management level, with all of that money going to them and not being paid properly to the animation staff. This is also a problem across a lot of industries globally, sadly.

If Japan has been raking it in globally with anime. Why is it that we sometimes hear that animation studios aren't in a good state? Also Anime in general seem to have shorter runs. Back then Gundam had 50 episodes, while the newest one is finished with 12.

@MercuryFalcon Tonally it feels like the love child of Mamoru Oshii & Masaaki Yuasa. The sense of humor and focus on grotesque ugliness is throwing me off balance. Adds a lot of personality to a show about political scheming. Not sure if it’s for me but I’m interested. Great English dub too.

The first two episodes of Nippon Sangoku were excellent. I think the presentation can be overwhelming at first, but by the end of the first episode, I had adapted to it and was fully enraptured in the story. I can't believe they name-dropped the Universal ride Minion Mayhem.

Does anyone else remember the illustration Itagaki made of @TheSlyStallone to promote Rambo: Last Blood? Still actually the coolest thing ever. 💙

@MercuryFalcon @koisplay @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN This season in particular is pretty stacked. I generally find myself only sticking with 3 shows in any season but I might watch more depending on how the shows hold up.

There's 5 I really like, 2 I think are okay but might drop in the next few weeks. Still need to check out Nippon Sangoku because I've heard great things from my friends @koisplay and @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN

The people who claim they watch 15+ anime in a season are lowkey performative, there's no way you genuinely care about more than 5 of those

I heard only 12 episodes were completed when it started airing.
Anno:
Yes. And that's only animation part. We prepared only a few full-complete episodes.
So the situation was already bad.
Anno:
We spent 1.5 or 2 years on 12 episodes. We had to make other 14 ep in a half year.
