Obscure Adventures in Geek and Nerd Culture

There is no major way that the anime industry would debut 4 whole generations of innovators and influential animators, without the more well known competitions between Mao Lamdo and Keiichiro Kimura, Rintaro and the Yoshida Brothers, Takashi Nakamura and Osamu Dezaki, Isao Takahata and Shingo Araki, Hayao Miyazaki and Kazuko Nakamura, Yasuo Otsuka and Tomoharu Katsumata. The most interesting thing to happen, and one that’s not quite well known until recently, was the bizarre as fuck competition of who has gotten to become a Peak Menace between Akiyuki Shinbo and Yasunori Miyazawa. It’s probably becoming a bit too clear that, even before there were Webgen animators, only Sachiko Kamimura and Hiromi Niioka, as well as Mutsumi Inomata and Naoyuki Konno, all have had simply well meaning compromises that, while the latter’s drawing direction is rather more common and quite cliche-ish today for at least the beginners, they are still KanadaPunk enough not to break too many of the terrible ani...

I wish I had a very small car that looked like a budgerigar.  Well, my favourite cars are pretty small, what do you think? Essentially, turning a city car into a parade float still is more relevant than we thought. 

Now, if anyone can remember watching Disney’s Tarzan this frequently? If so, remember that the Johnny Weissmuller movies were much further from the sources (except the canon elements) than even the Disney films and tv show. That’s why the Disney version has become the most accessible and successful depiction of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan brand in recent years, admittedly still loose but great enough not to offend most of the staunchest relative purists, who have forgiven the Disney version for that reason.  The same might not be said for the canonists, since they frankly do not publicly tolerate anything that’s not canon, which is perhaps why they still basically revise the frick out of canon Tarzan in order to keep the soul frying fanservice as the only intact point of the story, partly thanks to the Shōnen Jump meme worthy implications of the ERB Universe Tarzan being an orc-like destroyer of both humans and nonhumans alike.

Isn’t it interesting when you’ve been looking for a ton of anime terminologies that deserve to get attention? There are so many Pers-Kun movement terminologies that deserve international recognition mainly because it’s actually pretty hard to document such terminologies.  Obari Pers-Kuns  Obarism: The highly similar approaches that Masami Obari and his friend Yousuke Kabashima amongst the Obarians animate very complex yet still readable things that go side by side. 

It’s now become clear that the original jungle books of Rudyard Kipling are for almost everyone but babies, mainly thanks to the Disney Jungle Book franchise.  It shall be noted that nobody can fully capture the Jungle Books of Rudyard Kipling even in comic book form. However, it’s easier to understand that the Jungle Books are much undoubtedly like Nausicäa of the Valley of the Wind, if rather more values dissonant since Rudyard Kipling would rather have been a much more certainly fucked up person than even Hayao Miyazaki.
