VIDEO UPDATE (Patreon)
Content
So I have a lot of projects I'd like to move forward with not sure how much youtube will like these choices since they vary a lot
On the City Pop side there's
Whatever Happened to Takako Mamiya
A city pop follow up to What is Plastic Love where I look into one of the mystery figures of the genre and how her legacy grew on the internet
If this one does well there's a cityop anime ova which could make a good quick follow up been meaning to watch it.
There's several people on this takako project i want to work with in some ways its an all hands on deck thing we are hoping to get to the bottom of it even if there's not much known.
The World War II Anime's Problem
Or something like that is a look back at the history of animation and how WWII both defined its birth but how that event and the politics around it effected its portrayal in the medium , lots of research in this one while squashing misinformation i hope not even sure where all the conclusions will go but i've bought some propaganda cartoons for it.
FISHMANs
A look back of the career of the acclaimed indie band still on the rise
they're panning there own documentary and I feel I want to add something to the discourse
KyoAni
In light of what has happened at the animation department I've been thinking about a video on one of their biggest talents I've been thinking about doing it for a while but this might be the push to commit. It would be a video on the companies history and how it fostered the talents of one of the best anime directors the industry has seen
YMO
Another big project who knows when that will happen but I'd love to cover them
Madhouse month
this could be a patreon exclusive series for a time i'd like to look at all of madhouses early works in the way i did for toei month
The Shadow of AKIRA
a video series on Akira director
Ghost in the OShii
Another series like the madhouse month but on mamoro oshii cover each work as its own video.
maybe some video game music people like the SMT composer or DQ composer in the far off an there's more ideas swirling these are the ones i'm in the process of getting to.
