This one was just absolutely bizarre. I have never seen anything like this. The guy gets aroused and turns into a monster. Is this like a metaphor for something?

I’ve been watching Amazing Nurse Nanako and one thing that absolutely kills me is the late 1999 computer animation in the credits.

There’s something so wonderfully specific about this era of CG. The stiff little character models, the shiny plastic-looking surfaces, the extremely basic lighting, the awkward movement... That floating T-Rex made me burst out laughing! It instantly takes me back to those late-90s/early-2000s PC game cutscenes and anime DVD menus. At the time I’m sure this was supposed to look futuristic, but now it has become its own kind of retro aesthetic.

And Nanako itself is completely bonkers so far. I went into it expecting a pretty straightforward late 90s ecchi comedy. Ridiculously exaggerated fanservice, a dumb but lovable heroine, mad scientist jokes, etc. And, well... it definitely is all of those things.

But there seems to be something stranger going on underneath it?

I’m not sure yet whether it’s actually trying to say something or if it’s just throwing every late-90s anime idea into a blender, but it already feels like more than a typical ecchi show? There’s a really strange, almost subversive streak running through it.

And then the credits hit you with THIS glorious 1999 CG.

Absolutely perfect.

Love this fight. Great choreography, and it's nice to see adult Goku use the power pole in battle

It was on syndication in the US for what seemed like like all of five minutes and then it was just gone forever. Anyone else remember this?

I really liked how "I Want to Return to That Day" ended, and since the design had shifted away from Akemi Takada, making it feel different from the Kimagure Orange Road I knew, I had been avoiding this movie. But when I actually watched it, it turned out to be really interesting. It all made sense once I looked at the production team. Takayuki Goto is a highly capable person, and talented Kyoto Animation staff like Tatsuya Ishihara and Yasuhiro Takemoto were heavily involved in the production.

Which retro anime series characters has the best Motorcycle bike 🏍️design?

Hola,

Lo que sucede es que llevo rato buscando la película de Perfect Blue subtitulada en español en buena calidad.

Alguien sabe dónde se puede encontrar? Solo la encuentro en castellano pero quisiera verla en japonés con subtítulos al español.

Gracias.
