I'm an anime-person to the extent that I self-taught myself japanese and I'd never heard of Tatsunoko in my life, because all of their anime is really oldschool and 100% japan-oriented, so you'll have to excuse me if I don't believe you. |
You definitely come out as overly arrogant with certain comments. I know limited japanese but still need to rely on sub titles for a good portion. I've known Tatsunoko since Gatchaman and Speed Racer, as well as Robotech (not sure if it was 100% them or collaboration). In recent years I stumbled upon Karas and was delighted with both the OVA's as well as the US version divided in 2 movies The Prophecy and The Revelation (Otoha vs the waterdemon is still one of my favorite fights in all anime). Perhaps it helped alot that I was in Colombia in the late 80's early 90's where they get massive amounts of anime waaaaaay before the US had a clue of what was out there, such as Saint Seiya, Heaven Wars Shurato (oh I think Tatsunoko also took part in this one rofl well whatdaya know), Captain Tsubasa (watched it up to the point Japan played Brasil and Tsubasa meets with his mentor who dissapeared after the first season iirc), Magic Knight Rayearth (this exposed me to Clamp and made me like female heroes more), etc. I hope by now you get the idea by now.
And for the record I didn't start paying attention to the studios and creators until I watched Magic Knight Rayearth, and later on I was able to make the Tatsunoko connection once I watched Karas and decided to rewatch to Gatchaman. But anyways thanks to your post, you reminded me to watch ep. 8 of Saint Seiya: Lost Canvas. Have a good one.

Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)
I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/ hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
