The female characters are really pretty and sexy
Sometimes I get the urge to rewatch just old commercials online.
This spring, I was actually planning to watch more seasonal anime for once, but I was too tired and ended up missing Lazaro's live broadcast. For Gundam, I’m waiting now, so I think I’ll be able to watch it from episode 1.
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?
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 Except for works originally made for TV size,” he said, ”because you can't hear the loud bass unless you are in a theater.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.
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.
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.
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.
