RE: Retrospective: Ghost in the Shell (1995)
Very nice post about of of the great anime works!
And look at this from the first picture:
"Japans first World-Class animated movie" - Hollywood online.
That tells you more about Hollywood online then about Japans animated movies. Not to mention series.
(Did anyone mention Robotech btw? You know where the US "stole" the Japanese series Macross. FunFact: The Macross movie lead was the same voice in the English version too.)
Thanks!
I'm not familiar with Robotech, I'm afraid. Haven't seen any mention of Robotech in my research.
But, yes, that comment from Hollywood Online is telling. As I understand it, anime and manga from the 80s still compare favourably to their contemporaries.
I don't have much knowledge about the 80s, but if you say 80s there definitely is Akira 1988.
Washington post said it was "An example for the future of animation".
