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.

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.

However, it’s easier to understand that the Jungle Books are much undoubtedly like Nausicäa of the Kingdom 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. 

Given that Kanada/Kozuma/Yamashita Pers-Kuns have diversified so much, we can now popularise newfound terms that focus on alternative Kanada/Kozuma/Yamashita Pers-Kun movements. The Inomata Pers-Kun movement has now become something to awe at due to its strong early associations with Studio Break.   Iconic bits from the man behind the WebGen and spinoff Web-Kanada movements may as well deserve to be recognised in light of letting people with all kinds of Kanada/Kozuma/Yamashita-like art styles go into the world of digital animation.  Bodyguard Konno: His studies have a crap-ton of Studio Break influences, ranging from Shinji Hashimoto to Shinya Ohira to Mutsumi Inomata. Since he watched a ton of Mecha works as a youth, his mech and human designs also have elements of all three main inspiration combined into one magnificent whole.  Konno Punch: He has a more Tarzanesque punch that’s fairly distinct from both the more easily known (Masami) Obari Punch and the even crazier H...
