That first recommendation is interesting ive seen lots of stories where villains turn good or heros turn evil, but i wonder if there is a series where slowly as they progress that hero and villain of the story switches midway after crossing some moral event horizon

Anno's biggest inspiration for Evangelion was Space Runaway Ideon. It was created by Tomino, the creator of Gundam and he once said in an interview it was the show he was most proud of making. Also the movie for Ideon which caps off the series is just as shocking and mindblowing as End of Evangelion in its own way

True, but Anno and company were also add many elements from things they love. The Evas are design and elements were inspired by Ultra-man and the God-Warrior from Nausicaa. The emblematic elements of War, Machines and Child soldiers from the original Gundam. Elements from Space Battleship Yamato, Lupin 3rd and the James Bond series. That's the fun thing about the original Gainax group. It was founded by Fans, Film nerds.

In the early 90s in Brazil there was an open TV channel called "Rede Manchete" that aired a collection of OVAs from Japan. I actually watched Zeorymer, Genocyber, Detonator Orgun, Gall Force, MD Geist all when I was about 7 to 8 years old lmao. Still remember being slightly traumatized by the explicit stuff from Genocyber, but boy those were some good days.

That list of hidden gem underrated anime is pretty hilarious. Anime fandom, at least western English speaking anime fandom has like some form of collective short term memory it feels like. Like almost every one of those shows listed there in that Google search was some hugely popular thing when they came out that was very much talked about. Some of them were huge. Detroit Metal City wasn’t. But Space Dandy was. Tiger and Bunny was. Death Note was. Bleach was. Welcome to the NHK was. Attack on Titan was like the biggest anime around just a few years ago. That list is almost like it in 15 to 20 someone was like: Hey, you ever hear of this movie called Barbie, there’s some other little underrated gems...Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Dune. It’s very weird to see this happen with anime fandom. Modern anime fandom has grown so uncurious in the last, maybe 15 years, that somehow the pre Toonami era of stuff we had in America (Tatsunoko shows, ‘80s and ‘90s movies and OVAs, that Wizard of Oz anime that felt like a World Masterpiece Theater series) that played on television has seemingly even fallen by the wayside outside of Ghibli. The main appeal of anime in American anime fandom as also shifted quite a bit from the ‘90s and early 2000s.

Western tastes have gotten somehow worse. I'm not saying most of the newest popular anime are necessarily bad, but the tastes have devolved into a lack of subtlety.

@@Lifesizemortal I don’t know exactly how true that is. Yeah, it is extremely Shōnen driven now. But the ‘80s and ‘90s OVA stuff that was popular in America in the ‘90s and into the 2000s was violent stuff, more so than the big stuff today. Part of the whole appeal of anime, beyond the cool style of them, was that they were doing things western animation largely wasn’t doing with regard to sex and violence. It’s what makes it funny when I hear about people getting made fun of in school for watching anime. It’s like, yeah, sure, if you were in middle school or high school playing with Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards you probably did made fun of, or of you wore one of those terrible looking DBZ button down shirts you might get made fun of, (even by someone that watched DBZ) but that didn’t happen with Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D. Anime fandom has also shifted to TV shows. Movies almost seem like they may as well not even exist to the larger American anime fandom anymore. Where in the ‘90s movies and OVA series (that got shown on TV as if they were movies) were the big thing. I get that there are more shows than ever before, but the lack of interest in movies is just odd given they’re budgets allow for a greater degree of style than shows of the last decade. There’s such an extreme lack of interest in movies I was kind of surprised to see Makoto Shinkai pop with Your Name.

I'm so happy to see Zeorymer be getting more attention! There were lots of other obscure mecha OVAs that had a profound influence on Evangelion, namely Fight! Iczer-1 (Toshihiro Hirano's OVA before Zeorymer, also adapted from a Lemon People manga) and Detonator Orgun, which was directed by the great Masami Obari. The UC Gundam timeline was also very influential on Evangelion; Amuro Ray in 0079 behaves almost exactly like Shinji, and the Puru stuff in ZZ Gundam is reminiscent of the Rei clone stuff. Hideaki Anno even made a Char's Counterattack fanzine that features interviews and discussions with Tomino.

@@erickgribbellmartinez2187 I thought the way he let the earth government push him around after the war was suspiciously beta. He had all of space to travel though. Amuro was a hero to the people around him. The only people that mattered at the time. While I'm sympathetic with the plight of the space dwellers and believed their fight was worth fighting, they were trying to kill the people on the Argama so, anything Amuro did in self defense was justified. One thing the OG Gundam did well was it showed how Amaro wasn't just a mary sue. He was talented and he worked hard at his craft. He got better over the series because he worked at it. Shinji was a nothing. He never escaped from being a loser. Every episode brought another disappointment.

Amuro behave like Shinji? You have it backwards. Shinji Acts like Amuro. In fact, he has the same dynamic with his father as Amuro does with Tem Ray. The rest of Shinji's character is based off of Gunbuster's main character Noriko Takaya, who is also based off of Amuro, particularly taking from Noriko her lack of self-confidence and sad (?; not quite sure how to describe it) attitude from early in the show. Amuro never became a monster. What are you talking about? After the OYW he was put in house arrest by the federation. Then, they relegated him to being an instructor before the events of Zeta lead him to leave. By CCA, Amuro is a person with much hope in humanity with zero actual power to change the status quo and that's part of the tragedy of CCA.

Who seemed like a typical Japanese work-aholic. After the attack on the colony, his father was damaged pretty much directly because of Amuro's actions. He probably didn't know the Tems brain damage was from him causing the explosion on the colony which cracked the shell and expelling him into space. When he found his dad, still puttering with junk, it was a pretty sad moment. Particularly since, only we know Amura caused the damage. Is there some back story I'm not aware of?

Ikeda Hiroshi has a pretty interesting career outside of directing actually. He got transferred to R&D at Touei after the 1972 labor strikes and basically had to re-organize touei in order to turn it into a company that could actually make money. He also developed some of the earliest digital animation software which would lead him to leave Touei and work at Nintendo. So he did eventually leave, but "disappearing from the anime industry after working on some magical girl shows" isn't really correct.

Has anyone here seen an experimental anime OVA called: "Cat Soup" (01)? If not, i highly recommend it. Another surreal hidden gem is "Angel's Egg" (85) by the great Mamoru Oshii, but i think it's beginning to be more known. Also, a series called "Texhnolyze" (03). Finally, i'll recommend "Windy Tales" (04), an experimental and super stylish slice of life anime to vibe out to. Peace.

P.S.- if anyone watches any of these, please let me know what you thought. It's quite an eclectic selection, I'll admit.

for example i just looked up fantasy anime and when you scroll down it ends up with the category "action fantasy anime" and it lists a bunch of live action anime movies and cgi movies based on videogames

Don't quote me on this, but I think that anime around 11:00 was an inspiration for the Legend of Zelda Wind Waker.

The series you mentioned at 13:59 does an homage to a 2003 tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Faiz. Literally the same with multiple images overlapping and end with a Phi symbol.

Before Evangelion... Less time has passed from the late 1980s to 1995 than from 1995 to now, and yet we still compare everything to Evangelion. Lots of people on the Internet told me that Evangelion was a masterpiece, complicated, but a masterpiece. I saw it, and since then I have believed it.

Ever heard of Kurogane Communication? (I'll wait)......exactly!😂 I'm like the king of obscure anime between late 90s-mid 2000s. I used to get my hands on all the stuff no one wanted to watch.

I knew Zeorymer surprisingly not from OVA but from the GBA Game, Super Robot Taisen J from first story until the end, but with Masato's more fulfilling future. another difference from OVA is, in the game Zeorymer got the second upgrade if you take out all hakkeshu warriors in certain conditions. the new unit name is "Great Zeorymer" possessed all Hakkeshu's mech elemental weapon and attacks. plus with Dimensional Coupler System, which could generate barrier and spatial movement. make the unit far more terrifying and OP
