14 years ago today, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars was originally released on the Nintendo Wii in NA. It was developed by Eighting and published by Capcom.

I think one small reason I’ve put off casshern for so long next to the other bigger factors is like I’d worried I become so obnoxious about it-as if I’m not annoying about getter💀-mainly for the fact even if I’m not watching the original I am *still* watching a series that influenced mega man but it makes me so sad in the MM fandom that people will search for games that take inspiration from mega man but never care to look into what *inspired* the series itself.

It’s like most people obviously know it pulled a lot from Astro boy but casshan is barely acknowledged despite the fact it appeared in a crossover Capcom game or just the fact how much stuff it’s OBVIOUS that mm took from it. (A robo dog companion, the villain JUST being sigma, etc) And don’t even get me on about Kikaider cause i literally didn’t know that existed until last year yet it’s painfully obvious that’s where inspiration for the Mavericks being animal like came from and arguably a character who is JUST proto man but if he stayed evil. (Saburo)

It’s really fucking cool how much old anime MM took its roots from and this ain’t even accounting for how the other series definitely pulled from other stuff-someone told me legends ripped from a different anime setting which would track but I have zero clue what that would be-since even if MM was strictly a video game series the people making it clearly cared about all the sentient robot anime they could find, but most MM fans aren’t gonna bother to look into it.

Why? Cause even if a handful of fans are into old stuff generally-I’ve seen MM fans who like mecha as a whole lol-there’s also just too many fans who don’t give a shit about older anime even when the inspiration for their favorite thing is clearly there.

Hey Pablo, what kinda books you get?

Yo Yo, J! (in ref. to this post) I got:The World of Ultraman & Kamen Rider artbooks by Yuji Murakami who quit art to become a bhuddist monk and then when he started painting again created these beautifully meditative collections featuring the two iconic heroes. i wish the books were larger though, it’s a crime to have paintings split onto two pages.  Kurayami Dance (Dance in the Dark) is the two volume manga title written by Suda 51 (killer 7, no more heroes) that from what i understand is his original vision for the game that eventually became ‘Shadows of the Damned.’ Originally it was more or less his version of Franz Kafka’s ‘The Castle’ so as a fan of both suda51 & kafka i had to get it. i asked the artist on twitter if there was going to be an english release and they said they were looking for publishers who would like to pick it up, but at this point a translation seems unlikely. so i’m hoping a scanlator out there picks it up asap. this video gets into it but the relevant part starts at the 14:58 mark

Utata Kiyoshi Art.Dot.Works a dojinshi by the Gate Area 51 group collecting a bunch of concept and sprite art by Utata Kiyoshi from games like osman(cannon dancer) little samson, cocoron  etc etc.

Alexander Chronology an art book episode reference guide companion to the ‘Alexander’ aka ‘Reign: The Conqueror’ anime series that Peter Chung (Aeon Flux, and a million other things) did the character design for. 

Tatsunoko Pro Anime Super Data File. a tatsunoko series/character reference guide if you aren’t familiar with Tatsunoko think of them like the japanese Hanna Barbera. the house that brought you yatterman, casshan, speed racer, the genie family, gatchaman and a million other beautifully colored creations.

Yoshinori Kanada Special. better to show than tell watch a video on the contents of the book and another on the legend himself.

The Making of Super Mario Bros. i was hoping this book would be more of an artbook collecting all the production art and design works like the cover implied but it seems to be more of a promotional piece for the film which i guess is to be expected. that’s all folks!

Sci-Fi Channel’s Saturday Anime

Does anyone remember the mid-to-late 1990's Saturday morning block on Sci-Fi Channel called Saturday Anime? Originally, they would air dubbed anime at 9am on Saturdays. Later, in 1999, the block moved to late night 3am Sunday morning/Saturday night. Toward the tail end of 1999, it was moved back to Saturday mornings at 11am. I enjoyed Saturday Anime from 1996-1998. At this point in my life, I was well on my way to becoming a major anime otaku, but was delighted to find new anime to enjoy on my television set. Among the titles aired were:

Casshan: Robot Hunter

Demon City Shinjuku

Dominion Tank Police

E.Y.E.S. of Mars

Green Legend Ran

Iria Zeiram: The Animation

Odin: Starlight Mutiny

Project A-Ko

Record of Lodoss War

Robot Carnival

Vampire Hunter D

Venus Wars
