Honestly, I kinda love Alex's idea. Imagine having the VFX artist, the stunt coordinator, and the animator all present for something like the dragon scene from Shang-Chi. Obviously that doesn't have to be it since its something the show has already covered, but a holistic picture view by having everyone there would be neat to see.

SDF Macross: Do You Remember Love is often an overlooked masterpiece. It came out in 1984 and is overshadowed by the big hits like Akira and Nausicaa, but it's got a very different and distinct look and animation to it. The attention to detail on the mechanical parts are huge, seeing the fighter craft and space ships move and articulate all their components is incredible. As much as the classics deserved to be talked about on the show, DYRL is something quite special indeed and shouldn't be missed.

I recommend animations from the 80s by Shiro Masamune; like Appleseed and Black Magic M-66. He would later go on to make Ghost in the Shell.

[@chalion8399]

Agreed.

[@arsakatombo]

Shirow masamune is the writer artist of the manga that these works are based on. He doesn't always get involved in the animated productions. Let's be clear he didn't create the anime, in the same way that while shirow masamune did create the original concept, I don't think you'd say he created the Scarlett Johansson live action ghost in the shell movie. And don't get me wong, I'm not criticizing you. I think it's a good idea, to compare how the different mediums, different directors and animation studios approach the material. I don't think there's been a single creator have so many different renditions of their work. Especially because even the recent live action film is basically animated. There's so much artistic work by a person with the amount of cgi and effects work, interpreting the shirow masamune world.

[@sylvain7888]

Shirow masamune is the mangaka that created Appleseed and Gits. I think he maybe worked on the script of only one appleseed OAV ?

[@manchesterunitedno7]

The one you're looking for is Oshii Mamoru and Studio I.G. Those are involved in creating Shirow Masamune mangas to anime.

[@leadmagnet2446]

Exactly this. Glad someone else suggested. Would also add Sol Bianca.

[@buyahhhhrooo4418]

Jean (Moebius) Giraud is one of those artists who's widely respected and well known, but he still somehow feels under-appreciated. I'm glad to hear him mentioned as an inspiration, which is true, but I hate to point out that he did not create Valerian and Lauraline (that was Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mezieres. Although both Mazieres and Moebius were inspired heavily by Herge of Tintin fame). Moebius did create classics such as Blueberry, The Incal (with Alejandro Jodorowsky, soon to be adapted by Taika Waititi), and Arzach, which was first printed in Heavy Metal (Metal Hurlant) as he was one of the major contributors during the magazine's rise. He's a long time favorite for myself and many other artists and film makers. If you look at the long list of people he inspired you would see that Science Fiction wouldn't even remotely be what it is today without him. He's pretty much number 1 when it comes to sci-fi artists, much like Frank Frazetta was for Fantasy. I could recommend so much 80s anime in film, but I feel like the comment section is doing a good job with that. Instead, I would like to keep the theme of French artists by recommending the films of Rene Laloux. He is most famous for 1973's Fantastic Planet, but he also made quite a few short films, and two other full length features; The Masters of Time (1982) (aka Time Masters, or Les Maitres du Temps. Which uses designs from Moebius himself) and Gandahar (1987).

This was such a fantastic episode! So much knowledge shared and insight. Really one of the best! A whole episode dedicated to everything everywhere all at once!

[@Rethardus]

Wow, I'm glad you guys are finally going to do an anime episode! I secretly hope my comment on a video inspired you guys to do so! I find it a peculiar choice to only limit to 80s anime though (I'd argue the golden era for anime was around 90s or even around 2006; I just think animation back then was a little bit more "limited animation" (using keyframe holds to save on budget). But for sure there are gems in the eighties too. If we talk about the 80s, of course you cannot forget about Akira, the whole movie is a visual gem. But I guess it is a given you guys would talk about that one. Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, directed by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki is a good one. If we talk about Miyazaki, of course you cannot forget about Ghibli movies. My Neighbour Totoro, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Good stuff. Don't forget to talk about the short movie "Daicon III"; it is a short movie made for the Daicon anime convention; and quite literally the birth of the studio that made Neon Genesis Evangelion. That short is a celebration of anime on its own. It's hard for me to think of more stuff, since the eighties anime are not my expertise, but I hope this helped. Just hoping for a nineties - 2000s anime episode!

lets get each decade rolling, the 90 and early 2000's have some solid pics

[@hunzikart]

I'd love to see the Corridor Crew react to Mike Habjan's Superman VS Hulk series of videos, that'd be awesome!

[@NixonAnimation]

Appreciate the look at 2D animation on this channel

[@MGGenn]

Late suggestion - Macross: Do you remember love? is a great 80s anime to react to. Since it had a theatrical release it is super detailed. Also - you can find most if not all of it on KZbin. There is also potential to compare it to the TV Series of Macross (which was re-arranged as Robotech in the US) to see the difference between episodic TV animation and theatrical animation.

[@vriendloos3242]

Redline is an amazingly animated anime movie with over 7 years of production from one of the best studio's at that time. Released in 2009 instead of the 80s although i still recommend you check it out

[@SenseofNoneYT]

They already touched on it before but they did say they were going to do more. Unfortunately, I don't think I've seen the "more" yet.

[@introgauge]

No

[@mikecrill02]

you should definitely check out Akira, grave of the fireflies, Kiki's delivery service, first of the north star, Gundam char's counter attack. those are great animated anime in the 80s

[@dtceballos]

Have some therapists around for Grave of the FF.

[@demonface96]

does akira count if it was released 1990? lol it was my first thought though its gorgeous

[@dtceballos]

@@demonface96 in the US it was released in 90….. I do remember seeing a bootlegged copy at a Star Trek convention in ‘89. In Japan it was released on July 16, 1988. So I do believe it counts. ;)

[@mikecrill02]

@@demonface96 I know lol but it's too iconic and it's in an "80s style" right? Haha. All of the anime that I listed too came out in like 1988- 89 anyways lol

That everything everywhere all at once episode sounds really cool. Even though it would be a scheduling nightmare

[@adam68Library]

I worked as a senior lighter for "The Tall Grass" season 2 of Love, Death and Robots. So much fun and great to be apart of the larger franchise. Glad the Corridor guys are finally shining a light on LDR.

[@mohitkhati5302]

Great animes from the 80’s with beautiful animation Neo Tokyo (1987) Grave of the fireflies (1988) Akira (1988) Nausicaa of the valley of the wind (1984) Memories (3eps) (1995) ….not from the 80’s but it needs to be talked about

100% these

GUNDAM, the time they take to draw tech/mech is so detailed and i love it

[@DavidConant]

Some really good examples of 2D compositing you can find from “Helluva Boss”. Would love to see that on the show.

[@believeinmatter]

The 3rd season was better then the 2nd, but the first season is still the best in my opinion, some of those episodes really stuck with me

Laputa (Castle in the sky) - the part where the robot wakes up in the castle - theres some amazing areas where the metal doors are being shot by the laser eye and circles out in a really cool unique way which totally sells the concept. Very cool stuff there to react to!

Honkai ad section is the most viewed part of the video. That's a lot of funny implications, especially for the episode about animations

[@arthur-per-du5082]

You need to watch the DAIKON 4 opening animation made in 1983 by Gainax (the studio that made evangelion). this is their 1st real animation project and it's one of the biggest miles stone of the pop-culture in japan !!

[@ajabumblebee]

For a classic anime movie, Metropolis by Osamu Tezuka the "Father of Manga" and creator of Astro Boy. It was one of the first Japanese to be nominated for an academy award. Animated by MadHouse, who've animated Perfect Blue, Paprika, Redline, HunterxHunter, One PunchMan etc. Featuring a distinct retro steam punk style and a beautiful 2D architecture.
