@ Asperger’s

I can’t believe I forgot about ‘Wings’! I’m watching Planetes and can’t help but be reminded about that really good movie. When I started getting deep into anime through Evangelion, Wings was one of my first stops.

Someone please re-visit this title! I’d request it from Ibrevis but the last time I did she made me start a blog and write it myself.

@otou-san:

I have not seen all of Evangelion. Considering my mental state of depressed loneliness it’s probably not a good idea right now. But I loved Wings of Honneamise. That movie was gold. It really was. And I can see what you’re talking about with Gainax in that one, the loser astronaut that nobody believes in actually goes into his rocket into space, and everybody including the people fighting with guns on the ground look up in awe as they witness something they’ve never contemplated before.

Now that you’ve mentioned the otaku formula that Gainax has I can see what you mean about that in Wings of Honneamise. Could this have been a hint that they were making otaku formula stuff from the beginning?

first of all, my opinion on creators and studios, if you think they don’t matter, hang yourself for being a stupid douchebag.

Next, yes, part of GAINAX’s magic comes in the form of relatability, but I’d be hard-pressed to say it’s just otaku relatability. anyone who’s been in the shit but never given up hope, or been without it and seeking to find it, can relate to GAINAX anime. Acctually, fuck this comment, I’m making a reply post to this.
