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.
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 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.
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.
