The only reason the industry is shit is because the change to digital, and no money to hire and train good people to draw

MC was incredibly boring for starters, and the rape scene didn't help making him likable

This was a commercial flop and Bandai never saw a return on the huge investment they put into this film. I have no idea why you think this movie in particular could or should have revitalized the industry, when Akira did the very same only 3 years later.

Except Akira was the same otaku trash from its time, retard.
>"In modern society, which is so information-oriented, it becomes more and more difficult even for sensational works to really connect with people, and even so, those works get forgotten quickly. Moreover, this flood of superficial information has dissolved those values and dreams people could stand upon, especially among the young, who are left frustrated and anxious. It could be said that this is the root cause of the Peter Pan syndrome, that says, 'I don't want to be an adult' ... If you look at the psychology of anime fans today, they do interact with society, and they're trying to get along well in that society, but unfortunately, they don't have the ability. So as compensatory behavior, they relinquish themselves to mecha and cute young girls. However, because these are things that don't really exist—meaning, there's no interaction in reality happening between those things and the anime fans—they soon get frustrated, and then seek out the next [anime] that will stimulate them ... If you look into this situation, what these people really want, deep down, is to get along well with reality. And what we propose is to deliver the kind of project that will make people look again at the society around them and reassess it for themselves; where they will think, 'I shouldn't give up yet on reality.'"

Akira didn't make much of a splash in Japan, it did decently well, but Totoro was the big hit that year. Also, Akira was from 88 and Wings was from 87.

>and the rape scene
I love how Japanese that scene is. To any western viewer it seems like it comes out of no where, seems unneeded in the large scheme of things since it goes no where, and drags down the characters. Yet Japan doesn't seem to think much of it, it's just how they are.

>they relinquish themselves to mecha and cute young girls. However, because these are things that don't really exist—meaning, there's no interaction in reality happening between those things and the anime fans

Anime fans did have access to cute young girls though - it wasn't a male dominated fanbase. Akira is also well known for it's lack of cute girls. This post is a garbled mess.

Your orientalist mindset is showing.

Nah too narrow appeal.

>referring to Japanese as orientals
fuck off bigot

If the sequel ever happens instead of tomato farming, what do you think it'll even have to say, message wise?

People still spout this nonsense? You are probably that same schizo that makes the stupid ass OLD SHOWS GOOD NEW SHOWS BAD threads every fucking day.

Either way the movie was pretty and well animated but it really lacked a cohesive plot or setting. Most of the show felt like it just existed as an excuse to have rockets and planes in it. It wasnt bad but it wasnt great either.

Well what would the second one even be about, getting a man on the moon instead of purely just to orbit? The message would still be the same, about how far dreams can take men even if there's a lot of shit going on.

Read a book, you stupid nigger.

Where did the tomato farming meme come from? If anything Gaina was set to become an underground JAV producer or something with their casting couch practices
The second one's supposed to be set in the future of Honneamise's world (which is apparently Alpha Centauri) in which the protagonist travels to Earth, IIRC

>Where did the tomato farming meme come from? If anything Gaina was set to become an underground JAV producer or something with their casting couch practices

I forget who it is, but whoever is left at Gainax split the company up into multiple shell companies to keep the rights of the properties during bankruptcies. Even branched out into tomato farming.

You didn't understand the film

Why would plebby sci-fi schlock made for otakus save the industry? What regenerate qualities does that offer anyone? Gainax fans are delusional.

Its almost like different people have different tastes and anime is more than one genre. Crazy.

The movies that ruined the industry to me were Howl, Earthsea and the trio of Pokemon XY movies.

Howl showed that Miyazaki was fallible, Earthsea showed that Ghibli was fallible, and the XY movie showed that anime TV was mostly dead except as promo material for other high margin media formats like light novels or manga.

Pokemon was always cynical "gotta coomlect them all" garbage with zero artistic merit. No idea this is meant to be a shocking revelation.
