“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.

I think that they transformed the predator into Archie...also I think Jughead was dead too. Only Betty and Veronica survived.

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.

So the memory core is inside the safe and the safe is disguised to look like ice cream maker and even can produce limited quantity of ice cream.

In the first picture:

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

Why this reads as Gundam prequel?

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.

The one with the girl figure is actually funny.

No current season of Dragon Ball, many Naruto fans skip on Boruto...but you forgot Detective Conan (which is lately mainly filler episodes).
