My last post has already been said better-or-I miss the 80′s.

I’m terrible about reading other anime blogs, so I usually follow a trail of links until I hit something good, and this time the trail was rather short. I went from my referral page to this post on ani-nouto, and from there to this post on Tenka Seiha. You can completely ignore the latter post as it’s not worth reading, but scroll down to about comment 11 where you see the words “Daryl Surat”, because that’s the approximate point on the page where things stop being horribly wrong. Now I’m obviously into a lot of things that Daryl has no interest in, thus why I’m usually watching a good 15 series at a time, but I feel his pain. He wonders why someone would get their panties in a knot over a series showing up once a decade that doesn’t cater to their interests. I wonder why more people aren’t getting their panties in a knot over the fact that these series only show up once a decade. And sure, I can’t deny that the animation was lacking  in the new Cobra OVA, but I like it that way, as crazy as it may seem. And I like the hair. How can you look at the sideburns on those women and think anything other than “Sweet Jesus!”, take that as you will. Post synopsis: I’m being a baby over the fact that more people aren’t stuck in the 80′s. The 80′s were fucking awesome. The prevalent racism and sexism that other people are so quick to disapprove of are just another part of what made that decade hilariously amazing.

Author put forth a pretty good answer to my questions. I really do understand why these shows don’t see the kind of success they ought to (in my mind), and why they aren’t being created in such quantities anymore, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. And to those 6 or so people on the internet who agree with me, I think we should all get together, put on a Steely Dan record and smoke some dope.

Or was that the 70′s. Shit.
