A new medium of cartoon animation.
My motivation is to instil what it was like to discover a new medium of cartoon animation to a modern Anime Fan (post 2000), and to reunite those memories with the family of fans from a simpler time.
I would like to dedicate this Blog to two pioneers that heavily influenced my fascination with Japanese popular culture –
Toren Smith (April 12, 1960 to March 4, 2013)
Carl Macek (September 21, 1951 to April 17, 2010).
Your choices shaped a whole generation, even outside of the US in falling in love with the pictorial image and animated visuals from Japan.

Without Toren Smith, many of us wouldn't even be manga/anime fans at all. When I started, it was Appleseed and Nausicaa, but quickly followed by Akira, Mai, the psychic girl and many others. Fond memories of this period.
ReplyDeleteFond memories, and a world apart the www & internet generation. A time of the joy of discovery and detection with some exploration too. I think we we were so lucky to have Toren's direction, today's Manga & Anime fans must be swamped with choices?!
