Sounds fake and staged to me.

“just play them some Chopin”

Yeah, they kind of underplayed the second season of Carmen Sandiego too.

Yeah, try to point that to the creators of the the live action Battle Angel Alita... Despite her being android or not.

“episode 900, and we still don’t know what “One Piece” actually is” on the bright side after 924 episodes of Detective Conan we know the name of the Black Organization’s boss.

Isn’t Enter The Anime just an info-mercial for the anime production of Netflix (+ some non-anime ones)?

“occasional military-themed shows like The Silent Service, Banner of the Stars, and Starship Operators”

“looking for something after GitS, and you mentioned Patlabor 1-3, two of which were before GitS” - you must know what happened before to understand what came next...Like at that period the public was very interested in sci-fi but after that is more of a niche and western thing - less money invested by the producers.

“the “Night is short” recommendation” well technically it wasn’t recommendation but part of mine “you are not paying enough attention to what’s worth watching” tirade.

“Patlabor 1/2 actually came out before GitS” - have I said something against that?

“Steamboy has been his only feature-length anime since Akira” - so only being a movie director counts for you? I think his other work is as important...he is like a one man army in the battle for higher art.

“he’s only done one anime and a handful of supremely average live-action movies in 30 years” - actually you can find his fingerprints on many creative and experimental projects like: Buki yo Saraba, Freedom, Manie-Manie: Meikyuu Monogatari (the thirth project), Memories, Robot Carnival, Roujin Z, Spriggan ect.

“Little does Ahiru know she’s actually a duck pretending to be human” - actually she pretty much knows that.

Thus money don’t smell even they stink of bathroom...

I knew I wouldn’t like Eva after only two episodes thus I dropped it there. To this day there are people pestering me about that. “It’s a classic.”, “It’s a must see.”, “Apparently you are too dumb to get it.” they say.

Imagine this playing out like the Szechuan Sauce Disaster...

You can say that two detectives in Japan have busted certain vigilantes.

It’s a more of a parody if you ask me.

“Does the dude have clones or something?” - Shinchi has two guys who look like him from certain perspective (This dude with the white top hat: Magic Kaitou and a random kendo practitioner from Kyoto, They are both characters from separated comics written by Gosho Aoyama). Sometimes people confuse them with the real…

Cagliostro it’s not a Ghibli movie tho, Miyazakis’s studio was created much later.
