I can't really find anything visual about the anime though

There was a Master System game based on it.

talking about retro anime during the live stream and here's the entry for the ninja red mask


i'm probably gonna look up 1993 later too, that was the year we did before right? I probably won't post any from then, since I'm crowding up this thread anyway

Yeah 93 is the other one. Funnily enough that's when the Little Women sequel aired

Yeah 1993 was the year I used for the test run.

Don't worry about crowding up the thread, those entries are fascinating. Those short blurbs give me a better idea of what sort of show it is than just looking it up on ANN/Wikipedia/etc.

Also while I can't run anything late tonight since I might be busy, I am tentatively planning on running a stream at 5:30 PM EST (A little over 3 hours from the time of this post), with half of 2000's OP, and 1972 since it's a single video.

this was that show that you mentioned where someone on usenet said that evangelion would make shows like this forgettable, right? makes sense if it was pretty popular in Japan. also the whole series is on Toei US's YouTube page, and it's the only show they have, inexplicably

No that person said the opposite, Ghost Sweeper Mikami would make Evangelion forgettable.

The Anime Encyclopedia by Jonathan Clements and Helen McCarthy. I have the second edition, but there's a newer one that came out two or three years ago. Clements also has a book on the history of anime that's good. It goes way more into older stuff than you'd expect, like half of the book or more is pre-Astro Boy

I suspect it might have to do with Eva being a big show so people had access to it earlier? Or maybe the guy just meant that years down the line Mikami would be the one people would remember. Either way it's a funny sentiment.

People talk about nationalist themes in anime now, but there were apparently multiple OVAs that started in 1993 that are about Japan winning the war in the Pacific, or invading Manchuria because they had to defend it from aliens
