The Animation Appreciation Thread

You liked Nichijou didn't you?

You might like Gunsmith Cats. Early 90s OVA with good production values typical of the time, it's a little fan servicey but in a more cheesecake way like Bubblegum Crisis (same designer). Not the cyberpunk atmosphere of Bubblegum Crisis but there's sort of a general tone similarity, a fair amount of action counter-balanced with some light-hearted comedy and cute characters. Basic buddy-cop plot about two Chicago gun dealers who are blackmailed by the government into performing extra-legal vigilante work. I'm sure there are movies from the 70s that do the same idea better, but in anime format it checks every possible entertainment box for me.

EDIT: Oh and the jazzy soundtrack might appeal if that was a selling point of Cowboy Bebop for you, and apparently a key animator of the Bebop movie (which I haven't seen) worked on the show's animation as well.

Everything else on my list has things that would probably be deal-breakers for you, if not wholly repulsive.

Didn't realise this post was so buried and far back in the thread lmao.

I adore Nichijou yes. Might check out Gunsmith Cats since Bubblegum Crisis is a childhood favourite too. It sounds pretty sweet.
 
A couple of years ago I watched the documentary about the history of porn

At the beginning of the documentary the narrator says "animated porn existed before Mickey Mouse"
 


So apparently Vic Mignogna (famously the voice actor of Broly) is being accused of sexual harassment from a scorned fan who brought him yaoi Dragon Ball Z art to sign which he refused. Not sure of much of the facts, but Vic has been fired from a bunch of jobs as a result even though it's just online rumour and nothing has been substantiated.

Notorious nice guy, pretty fucked up whichever way this pans out.

Employed guy loses job because he doesn't like yaoi

The people who ran around with the allegations and pitchforks perhaps didn't know about the yaoi part at the time. Reminded me of this though:

In March 2017, Larry Garfield, a high profile contributor, posted a blog post titled "TMI about me", in which he revealed he had been asked to step down by Dries from the community, and had been removed as a speaker and track curator for DrupalCon. He revealed that he was into the kinky BDSM lifestyle known as Gor, and that someone had dug up a profile of his on a fetish dating site. Based on his statements about consensual master/slave relationships, the image had been created that he was a misogynist who considered women inferior.

I feel bad for Larry Garfield
People shouldn't be able to get fired for being into BDSM
That's just stupid SJW bullshit

SJW bullshit
being totally hetero and being a "dom" in a dom-sub relationship isn't sexist
gender-flip this and you can clearly see how stupid this is
you gonna try to fire a female for being "sexist" if she likes being a dom durring sex??
 
I know I discovered this late and that it's infamous, but it's the only time I've ever watched the same anime three times in a single week, highest art
