Apparently my mom found the video while cleaning out the attic. Maybe it will bring back some nostalgia for you?



The labels on the VHS tapes are actually stickers from shoujo manga magazines, but the contents are completely different: real-time broadcasts of “Gundam SEED,” the first TV broadcast of “Evangelion,” and the original “Cowboy Bebop” . I laughed because the genre was mostly “mecha” and the labels did not match at all.

Don't you feel quite nostalgic when you see the old real-time broadcast footage, especially with the commercials that are still there from those days?

Thank you for accepting my friend request. I saw your affinity and we both have a lot in common.

Oh, that's an interesting opinion. I watch anime on my smart phone too, but when you say that brighter colors are easier to see, I can easily agree.

As for live-action manga, I would say that older people or people who are not interested in manga or anime may find it easier to watch or enjoy. Mysteries, medical care, etc. are sometimes better suited to live-action drama than to anime. It's a pity that live-action dramas are sometimes cheaply produced nowadays.

I think foreign films are also evoked by the Hollywood scriptwriters' strike. There was an incident in which a movie that was scheduled to be screened was not screened due to the strike. Well, now that Japanese films, including anime, are able to make a reasonable amount of money at the box office, the number of screenings may have decreased.

As for Gothic Maid, Nagano is too involved, so his opinion is inevitably respected. His name appears many times in the staff roll.

Mamoru Nagano: Original Story
Mamoru Nagano: script
Mamoru Nagano: storyboard
Mamoru Nagano: layout
Mamoru Nagano: original picture (partial)
Mamoru Nagano: Animation (partial)
Mamoru Nagano: Director
Mamoru Nagano: mechanical design
Mamoru Nagano: Character Design
Mamoru Nagano: all other design
　　Wife: voice of heroine
　　Wife: theme song
Mamoru Nagano: bass performance

But then Nagano said
Nagano said, “Isn't it funny that we don't see things made on film in movie theaters?”
Nagano replied, “‘See the movie in the theater,’ that's all I'm saying” and “It will never be made into a disc (DVD)! Nagano said, “Movies made for theaters should be seen in theaters,” and “They are made to be shown at that size and are not meant to be seen on small screens for home use. Except for works originally made for TV size,” he said, ”because you can't hear the loud bass unless you are in a theater.
This is the reason why they are not made into discs.

In fact, an announcement has been made that the degree of analysis is not 4K; it was apparently revealed at the director's stage greeting at the end of 2018 that the film is not 4K, but 12K, with a total capacity of 1.5 terabytes. So it sounds like a 4K disc would be problematic.

Yeah, I sometimes wonder if DVD or Blu-ray would be better for that, because if you like your home video and watch it over and over, the picture deteriorates. Now that it's digital, the screen is brighter, but I personally like the colors better and find it easier to watch at about the end of the celluloid era.

It all happened so fast, it's like a dream come true to have met Kyubuchi. I know it wasn't a dream because I still have the one he signed for me.

There are a lot of live-action movies nowadays that are based on manga. In some cases, the age of the actors in the live-action movie is a few years older than the actual age of the actors in the movie. Using actors and idols has the advantage that their fans will come to see the movie, but it costs more to produce than anime. Also, it is not as easy to make a big hit with a small budget as with anime. Then again, some live-action films can have original arrangements depending on the director in charge and the script adaptation, so they may not suit those who want something that is faithful to the original work.

Here is yesterday's ranking of movies: No. 2, 5, 7, and 8 are anime; No. 6 and 9 are live-action films based on manga. The top 10 in the ranking are below, but there are also revival screenings of “The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Ai o oboeteru ka 4K” at about 40 locations.

Yes, it used to be that when an anime movie was going to be shown overseas, it would be a year or more later. Nowadays, anime films are shown earlier and I think the number of screenings has increased.

Ahhhh, “Gothic Made”. Saw it a few years ago. The first revival showing that coincided with “Five Star Stories” I knew they were doing a movie, but I wasn't interested in it, so I passed on it; the second revival showing I went to see because I found out through MAL that it wasn't available on DVD or some other software. It was good. Personally, I liked the song the director Nagano's wife sang during the production.

Some people are disappointed that it has not been made into software or distributed as a video, but if it is made into software or distributed as a video, piracy will spread very quickly, so I think it's fine that it remains in its current state and is not made into software.

Thanks for the friend approval too.

Well, I don't really mind the old quality of anime visuals, so I don't have a particular desire to watch them in high resolution on Blu-ray.

As for screenwriters, I think fewer people watch anime with such attention. Not all of Urobuchi's works are to my liking; there are some I didn't get into. "Fate/Zero" was more enjoyable than I expected, though. Speaking of him, I actually met him and got his autograph. I also took a photo with him, but I accidentally deleted that data. He's involved in writing for tokusatsu shows as well, like the Kamen Rider series.

I think movies with a focus on sound are more enjoyable in theaters. In Japan, anime films now have higher box office earnings than regular live-action films or foreign films, but for those, you can't really say the number of screenings or box office performance is that great. Since anime movies are doing well, there's now a surprising increase in live-action films based on manga.

It's surprising how quickly anime films are released overseas after their premiere in Japan, isn't it? With video streaming, if it's quick, you can watch them abroad just three months later, so it feels like the wait has shortened...

Also, from around December, movie theaters started including English and Chinese subtitles for viewing guidelines, so I think there's now more of a trend where foreigners watch movies in Japanese theaters while traveling.

I sometimes use AniList aside from MAL, and there are people who post photos of screenings of past anime films overseas, so it feels like even old works are starting to be shown.

Oh, and before I forget, I'll send you a friend request. It's up to you whether to accept it or not.

There are a lot of old anime out on Blu-ray now. But it seems like some people with color preferences like the old coloring from when they were first broadcast. I'm not that picky.

Some animators seem to have started caring about Sailor Moon where the characters are drawn differently. I don't mind it. My favorite scriptwriters are probably Yosuke Kuroda and Gen Urobuchi...or Hideaki Anno if he's also the director. My least favorite scriptwriters would be Katsuko Takahashi and Kazuki Nakajima...

It's an hour and a half each way. As for the anime movies themselves, I think they have done better at the box office, since some otaku go to see them for the anime extras and some go to see the same movie. Gundam, for example, the first one released and SEED, which was released last year, have a much different box office.

Also, in Japan, the movie is released in movie theaters and then distributed on video distribution services about 3 months later, so people who want to see the movie without spoilers will still see it in the movie theater. For Evangelion, it seems that spoilers are likely to be posted on social networking sites after the release of the movie, so I couldn't afford to wait.

I didn't think it was necessary to see old anime in the theater, but I actually enjoyed it.

I thought I was going to get into “Char of the Counterattack,” so I was surprised I didn't. Gundam is made by a company that does a reasonably good job of preserving their work, so I doubt the images will deteriorate...

I don't think I've seen “Ninja Scrolls”. It's kind of a mess with Basilisk...

Oh, you are one who can make music and images together if you want to! If I were to invest, it would be in music software, which is an interesting answer that I didn't expect.

So you are interested in the director first, then the composer, then the animator, then the character designer, then the voice actor. I'm interested in voice actors, director, composer, animator, and character design, in that order. Character design is something I've started to pay more attention to recently with the number of remakes I've seen. Also, I've come to care about screenwriters because sometimes they are not very good at composition.

I also tend to watch foreign films with subtitles, so I think I kind of know what you are trying to convey.

As for anime movies, I think I've been going to see one every two months or so for the past few years. If the movie theater were closer, I would probably go more often, but it takes me about an hour and a half each way to drive there, so I can't go that often. I probably won't go see “Virgin Punk. I will consider going to see it if it is well-received after its release, but I don't think it will be released in theaters near my neighborhood since it seems to be released in a small number of theaters.

Since the time of the coronavirus epidemic, they have also started to occasionally conduct re-screenings of old anime movies. So I have recently started to refrain from watching old anime movies in the hope that I might have a chance to see them in theaters.

Char of the Counterattack is a film that I personally tried with great anticipation, but I didn't like it that much. I've seen End of Evangelion more times than I've seen it. I liked it so much that I even went to the movies twice at the time.

I guess it's out of print or something on home video. But when I think about it, there are a few that have not made the transition from video to DVD, such as those for which the rights are not clear. When you know you can't get them, the price goes up. I've put Gundam Unicorn on “hold” because I've already seen it halfway through the OVA, so I can't see it in an animated TV version now. I remember watching the anime and getting excited or horrified when someone who looked like Char came out.

Gundam home video collection, huh? I can sort of understand why it's so hard to complete a collection, with new series coming out regularly and some of the less famous ones.

Yeah, when I saw the video you posted, I thought it was an adult choice. The lineup looks like it would be difficult to broadcast on terrestrial TV, but those who are into it will be into it...I guess. I think it's a good selection. They don't make anime like this now, and it's valuable to look back on it now....

Oh, I was wondering, especially since you didn't point it out, that Satoru Akahori was on your list of favorite people. Oh, that's great that he went to art school! I wonder if you are able to write and create both pictures and music by yourself? I think pictures like Kotobuki-Tsukasa's are the kind of illustrations that would look better written and colored on an electronic manuscript rather than a paper one, so I think they look attractive again in this day and age!

When I was younger, I only checked the staff rolls for the voice actors, but as I've gotten older, I've started checking the names of the people in charge of drawing and other animation production companies that collaborated with them.

Also, I've already seen the latest Gundam at an advance screening, and I'd love for you to see it and be amazed. Also, if you get a chance to see it in a theater, I urge you to see it in a theater.

North America has the impression that Gundam began airing with Gundam W. I seem to see people watching older works now, but I'm thinking that a lot of them are probably watching pirated copies... Glad to see someone who has rented anime videos from a rental store. I think there is probably a slight difference in the impressions of those who have seen this on video and those who have seen it on a pirated video, and there is probably a slight difference in their feelings.

When I look back at OVAs as an adult, even if they don't have many episodes, there are quite a few that are carefully made, and that's great. Now, some people say they want to see the complete version and are disappointed that it was not made, but for fans of the original works at the time, I think they would have been satisfied just by the fact that they were carefully made, even if they were short OVAs and not TV anime. All in all, this was not a time when popular manga works were being made into TV anime.

Reading your comment, I was a bit surprised to see that OVAs were brought overseas at a surprisingly early date. Thanks for letting me know.

Sorry about that. The picture in your profile is not by Akahori Satoru, but by Kotobuki-Tsukasa. I was a little confused.

Oh, I haven't seen the “Sorcerer Hunters” and “Master Mosquito” anime yet. I like the OP and ED songs of “Sorcerer Hunters,” though, so I listen to them occasionally. I did watch “Saber Marionette JtoX” and “Sakura Wars.” Akahori was a big seller at one point in his career, but looking back, I think he must have been thinking about marketing and the tastes of the people who were watching his work. He was even a radio personality in his heyday.

I also have a few favorite staff members, so I sometimes check the works they are involved in and watch their anime productions. That kind of enjoyment is nice, isn't it?

It's fun to have a nostalgic talk with you.

I myself have some knowledge of OVA works, or rather, I rented and watched them at a video rental store, but it is difficult to explain them to people who do not know much about OVA works....

I am very surprised that people who frequently write and reply to comments in threads, including you, have knowledge of the heyday of OVA works and are very good at explaining them.

I don't see your written comments on the forum very often, so I look forward to reading your comments somewhere else, even outside of the OVA works threads!

Thanks for the reply. I just now realized that the picture in your profile picture is of Akahori Satoru.

Hello.

I just wanted to comment to let you know that I read your thread on OVA in the forum and found your very kind and clear explanation, including the data, very helpful.

You frequently exchange comments with people who do not reply to me, or rather with the thread owner. I think you are a bit busy with your comments and I look forward to your continued thoughtful replies to him.

xam'd is kino?

Nice Windaria review! :thumbs up:
