Same age at that time, had a very similar experience! Seeing anime for the first time in a theater like that was truly exciting! I remember every detail of that showing.

I really appreciate you saying this. Every argument against AI “art” that leans on its poor quality is short-sighted. It’s really about being pro-human.

When I first saw Zeorymer as a teenager, not long after Evangelion came out in the states, I was struck by some of the similarities in the setup. I never knew Gainax was actually involved, though!

I noticed a lot of Apothecary Diaries as well.

This is terrific! Thanks for all the awesome work on Otaku Archive!!

Already bummed it’s over.

😅barely more than I was a week ago…

Hopefully I’ll run it again sometime! As always, I’ve already thought of new things I ought to have included!
