For this latest post, there are some questions I will ponder, what comes next. Questions like will I continue this after class, and how can a I make money off of it.
What started off as a parody ended up as digressions of selected anime. No, I did not take any potshots at Star Blazers or Gigantor. Why? Simple. One was kid's cartoon that I watched when I was a kid, so it is near sacred like say, "Barney" and "Pokemon" will be to many of you, if you don't want to admit it yet. For the other? The idea of pulling a WW2 war ship off the bottom of the ocean and turning it into a space ship speaks for itself. I get the cultural (military) significance of an iconic warship ship to come to the rescue. An American equivalent would be the USS Missouri or the USS Enterprise (the aircraft carrier). Would German animators do the same with the Bismark? I don't think so. Given that it was a WW2 ship and German guilt still runs very deep, but even then the Bismark (and the two American ships) lacks the symbolism that the Yamato has.
