AmonHOST
Like, that is supposed to be what you think it is.
NoahHOST
Okay, so Oshii's closer to the Naito side of the spectrum than the Hideaki Anno side of the spectrum.
AmonHOST
It seems like this is born out of a sincere interest in Christianity as a belief system theology.
AmonHOST
I don't know specifically what he's taken out from it, but clearly something he finds interesting to think about.
Zach Langley Chi ChiHOST
But what I love about them so much is that they are like pure inventive fantasy unleashed.
Zach Langley Chi ChiHOST
It's like masculine creativity and imagination, uh, in the hands of boys with no money but a lot of ferocity just ripping each other apart in the woods and then making a movie out of it and they hit this really high note of ecstatic glee that I think Anno Hideaki and Tarantino often hit which is like the boys playing with action figures sensation and I think the first three movies in particular are really evocative of that quality
MaggieHOST
Oh, absolutely.
MaggieHOST
But I find them so charming.
AaronHOST
I think just in terms of raw dollar amount, it's more than even Minus... one made domestically now i think there's some weird stuff with like inflation and and yen to dollar conversion in the meantime that might have affected that number but um so it was a big hit domestically obviously it won the japanese academy awards just like minus one did so i understand the instinct to go back to the well so if yamazaki wants to take a break from his minus franchise and you want us and ano is willing to come back for his shin franchise i understand that again I'm interested to see where they get.
AaronHOST
Obviously, Hideaki Anno is very creative, responsible for Evangelion, Shangadilla.
AaronHOST
As a creator, I have a lot of faith in him.
AaronHOST
And Shinji Higuchi, I'm sure, will probably be involved as well.
ZenHOST
Okay.
HeathHOST
It's noteworthy because it is also one of the favorite films of, of one Hideaki Anno-
ZenHOST
Okay
HeathHOST
... who, uh, even integrated the, the sort of film's title into one of the plot points of Evangelion.
dakazuHOST
Okay, yeah.
dakazuHOST
So this was written by Hideaki Anno from Evangelion.
dakazuHOST
Oh, God.
dakazuHOST
Okay.
dakazuHOST
So it was after Shin Godzilla.
dakazuHOST
Which was
darfox8HOST
directed by Hideaki Anno.
dakazuHOST
Yes.
OliHOST
Hey, hey, might be tricked.
OliHOST
Uh, Akira, the 1988 landmark cyberpunk film, was directed by whom? A, Satoshi Kon; B, Katsuhiro Otomo; C, Mamoru Oshii; or D, Hideaki Anno.
JayPANELIST
Can you do that, like, one more time? Or is that just, that's it?
OliHOST
Done.
NiamhHOST
So I went over some of, uh, in the intro episode, getting to the point of making the movie.
NiamhHOST
Um, and there was a part where Anno was trying to find a studio.
NiamhHOST
He didn't want to do it with Gainax.
NiamhHOST
He feared that the results, uh, would be too similar, and also that the production difficulties would be too similar.
ConnorHOST
I'm glad that didn't screw him up too much.
NiamhHOST
Yeah.
ConnorHOST
Uh, but I'm just noting the theme with, like, a lot of the production history and Anno's sort of statements, uh, that there's this intense push/pull between, like, sort of seeming to want to do something different and depart from the original and then, like...
ConnorHOST
but continuing to gravitate towards, like, fidelity and repeating the same thing.
Jonathan LackHOST
Sean, you read this before it came out to just give me some like anime bro feedback.
Jonathan LackHOST
And then also there's a little translation from, uh, Hideaki Anno at the top of the piece that is pulled from an episode of Japanimation Station that has not aired yet, but that you did this translation for from the Gundam Char's Counterattack fan club book.
Jonathan LackHOST
And I remember when we were recording that episode, you were reading this out and I was opening my notes app and writing Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
Jonathan LackHOST
Like this is the, this is the shape of the piece now because there's this just one quote that is like this perfect kicker to this.
