The Basil Blog

He was a man who did what had to be done, and in the end the anime industry was better off for it.

He was instrumental in the creation of Robotech, the crazy Blackjack-level surgery of three anime productions into one US TV cartoon epic. And Robotech got a lot of folks into anime, including myself. He then went on to help found Streamline Pictures, where his crazy antics would continue on but brought us such greats as Akira, Fist of the North Star, and the original Vampire Hunter D. His Streamline Pictures Part-In-Crime Jerry Beck posted about the details.

I spent it all on Japanese cartoons anyway. Deep Discount DVD is having their 20% everything sale and I went ahead and cleared off a good portion of my wish list. A lot of anime box sets I wanted aren’t being made so much anymore due to their age, so I figured I better grab them now while they’re cheaper than normal.

That and I needed to get Cowboy Bebop anyway, and I also got the current Indiana Jones collection because the Crystal Skull was crystal crap and doesn’t belong on my shelf.

Here’s a screen cap of the damage:

I just ordered the entirety of Speed Racer on DVD.

Good times!
