Oh man I had no idea he directed Japan sinks 2020 is it good?

There were some weak moments but all in all I found a lot of it incredibly emotionally resonant, like sobbing mess emotionally resonant. And even though it's probably Yuasa's weakest work, it's still very interesting. So I would recommend it, just keep your expectations in check

Also iirc Yuasa wasn't as involved in this series as DC

Japan Sinks has a really rough and messy patch in the middle and the animation falls apart in places but it has a strong core message and pretty likeable characters. And a scene where a bunch of Japanese nationalists show up to immediately die horribly.

And what should one do to be remembered?
AFAIK Wing was the first Gundam to appear on Argentinian TV, so it was totally my gateway drug into anime :v: It was surprising to discover Italy was the first country abroad to get Gundam.

Anime's pretty much always been big in Italy. They were really cheap to acquire for syndication so they'd basically jam pack morning and evening kids tv with anime. They'd compose entire new theme songs and had pretty good translations and dubs as I understand it. It was actually an Italian's translation of Italian Saint Seiya dub that got me into the show; it was very hardcore and dramatic stuff.

The Italians OPs really rule too

This is also why Italian raws are used so frequently for both manga and anime, there's a big market for it there so they get high quality releases of shows and manga. Like I'm pretty sure that Violence Jack manga uses the Italian raws because they're so much better than Japanese sources for example

e: I'm less sure about this one but I'm pretty sure some of the best raws for Sailor Moon are from Italy as well?

I remember a custom map for Starcraft that was Gundam-themed and you chose a series you wanted your character to be from, and there were things that explained that Gundam Wing was not actually the first or only Gundam series

but I preferred DBZ: The Android Saga, even though it always broke because it required whoever picked Piccolo and Trunks to stick around for the whole map and inevitably someone would disconnect

Do you mean explicitly harem or just multiple love interests? For the latter I think We Never Learn and Quintuplets are the only real notable ones, though I'm likely forgetting some.

anime's currently fixated on the teasing romcom, with takagi, uzaki, and soon-to-be nagatoro. but there have also been a spate of school romcom manga emerging during the reiwa era like kanojo mo kanojo, 100 gfs, and cuckoo that have harem elements.

or maybe you're just thinking of the billion harem isekais out there

Bakarina, hello
At one point, during an incident where you'd normally have a "whodunnit" situation, the majority of her harem vouch for her innocence based on them basically going for variations of "Listen, I love this girl, but she's a dadgum idiot".

For real: She ain't Bakarina for nothing, y'know.
