Today's anime may be done on computers and be visually perfect, but it's often soulless. Anime from the 80s and 90s had HEART, dammit!
The Look, starring: Yuri and Kei, aka the Lovely Angels, from Dirty Pair: Project Eden; Priss Asagiri from Bubblegum Crisis: 2032; Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop; and some chick from Kimagure Orange Road (I never watched that series because it was this wacky soap opera with psionic siblings and there were, like, a bajillion episodes made).
Empowered women who kick ass and look hot while doing it.. one of the main reasons I love anime.
what, no mention of Haruko from FLCL?
ReplyDeleteShe wasn't in the video.
ReplyDeleteBesides, I haven't seen FLCL.
"...I haven't seen FLCL" - This is a tragedy.
ReplyDeleteBesides having one of the only interesting visual styles in modern anime, Haruko is the SEX. I didn't realize I loved crazy manipulative space bitches until I saw her.
And she tries to rape a 10 year old boy. I don't know if that qualifies as empowering or illegal, but I'm too busy worshipping a fictional woman to care.
Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo does nothing for you?
ReplyDeleteRyoko does everything for me. Including the dishes.
ReplyDeleteMy infatuation with space chicks is probably why I am unable to maintain a healthy relationship with mortal women. Sure they can surf, but can they surf on the ripples of time? I think not.
BGC Was the first anime I ever loved. <3
