Akio Sugino is hailed as one of the most prominent animation directors and character designers in the industry, known in Japan as one half of anime's "golden combo" alongside Osamu Dezaki. Their frequent collaborations led to many of the early defining works in the medium, and are iconic masterpieces that have significantly held up over time. Sugino's output was integral to legitimizing anime as an art form and turning itself more distinct from Western animation, evolving and reimagining his Mushi Pro, Tezuka-inspired roots.

Sugino's character art replicates Greek sculptures of the old, appropriating its design philosophy to Japanese animation by paying heed to anatomical correctness. Sugino's characters have imposing presences that are accentuated by their long limbs, broad shoulders, and chiseled facial features. Upon seeing a Sugino-designed character you are immediately given the impression of a walking legend, an almost mythical feeling to their appearance on the screen.

This interest stack tracks down his iconic career and features a selection of his most valuable contributions as a character designer. Works are in chronological order.

Space: the final frontier. The ultimate aspiration for Humanity´s willingness to deal with the unknown (at least until a multiverse is confirmed). And who is Humanity´s best friend in such an endeavor? Spaceship is.

And thus, Spaceship is:
- Lost in space.
- Trying to leave Earth.
- Trying to return to Earth.
- Trying to go from A to B.
- Wandering aimlessly.
- Trying to go to where no man has gone before.

Or similar scenarios.

While doing so, Spaceship is also:
- Trying to survive.
- Facing adversities.
- Dealing with the unknown.
- Facing its enemies, foreign or domestic.

All in the name of whatever mission Spaceship might have.

Spaceship is love. Spaceship is life.

This stack might include entire franchises; since I do not want to bloat it with all of their elements, I will only include the first one or the most significant one and comment as needed.

Also I am intentionally censoring certain words because Facebook and Twitter traumatized me.

If you have suggestions for this stack, let me know.

Part two of the list of anime released between January 1963 and January 2000 that are worth your time. (For better or worse).

Part One: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30488
Part Three: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30498
Part Four: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30811

Note: Moderators had taken down the stacks before, since it was not wholly information based. I will post this as a note as to why such series are essential in order to defend them all as a blanket statement.

Most of the series featured have some sort of significance in terms of first best or darkest for their era which can be categorized by decennium or part of a decennium (early, middle, late). These are mixed around in order in order to give those who subscribed to list a challenge. While I could give an individual breakdown, I think some research is better left up to those who have subscribed to the stacks, since this allows for additional cultural insight into what was popular in Japan at the time, which is sometimes disconnected from the United States, as well as the rest of North America and Europe in many ways. For example, the Crayon Shin-Chan that aired in the United States and Canada is different to the one that aired in Europe, is different to the one that aired in Japan. By recommending to seek out Japanese versions of series, it grows understanding. I am not the first one to have thought of this. In the United States, there used to be a channel called ImaginAsian TV which had the same purpose of informing people about Japanese popular culture through anime. The San Francisco and San Diego PBS stations did the same thing and NHK World Japan carries this on through series like Little Charo and previously Maiko-san Chi no Makanai-san.

I think it is agreed upon that retro is a niche, but with handicaps on subject matter like availability.

Osamu Dezaki was a Japanese anime director.

Dezaki started out as a manga artist while still in high school. In 1963 he joined Mushi Production, which was founded by manga and anime pioneer Osamu Tezuka. He made his debut as a director in 1970 with Ashita no Joe.

Dezaki was known for his distinct visual style, which makes use of split screen, stark lighting, extensive use of dutch angle, and pastel freeze frames that he called "postcard memories", which may be his most famous trademark. They feature a process whereby the screen fades into a detailed "painting" of the simpler original animation. Many of his techniques became popular and came to be seen as special techniques of Japanese animation. He particularly influenced Yoshiaki Kawajiri, Yoshiyuki Tomino, Ryūtarō Nakamura, Kunihiko Ikuhara, Akiyuki Shinbo, and Yutaka Yamamoto.

TV channel was closed due to a lack of financial budget, as the channel was showing international anime series and needed great efforts to purchase these programs in addition to the broadcast costs. In 2014, the company decided to stop the channel from working, but its work did not stop, as it began as part of the Spacetoon channel in 2016.
