A 51-year old anime fan who dabbles in historian. Or an amateur historian who enjoys anime. Something like that, anyway.
Due to a health issue, my blog launch is back to next Monday. So it goes.

At some point in the next week, I'll be removing all my ANIME QUOTES OF THE DAY, from this account and my others. They'll show up again in due course.

About 12 years ago, I was living with some good friends and watching anime with them. That was the first time I saw "Cowboy Bebop" and "Trigun". A small bee crawled into my bonnet that day, and suggested an article in the old "compare and contrast" essay style of my A-level youth. 1/2

This blog launches on January 5th, and it's starting to feel real now. I need a better logo.

If you want to read and listen to reviews of old anime - and I mean really old - then #DouglasWatchesEveryAnime is starting in January.
Once that's up and running, I'll be reviewing music as #LookDadOldTunes, at a site to be determined.

An Operation Sealion joke, GATCHAMAN? Really?

Two successive episodes of "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman" that couldn't be more different.
Ep 35 is an inexplicable dip into an Arab-coded civil war that would have meant the ISO was meddling in global politics, where no-one knew Galactor was actually involved until the third act. But then!

it's always amusing to watch football animated by someone who has clearly never seen it.

I thought I was going to play some Elite Dangerous tonight. But as I was walking down the stairs, my brain sang "Kagaku ninjatai, Gatchaman! Gatchaman" at me. So it's Battle of the Planets instead. Oh well. How sad.

This is the first attempt by SUZUKI Toshimichi to get an idea out of his head. The next two would be "Bubblegum Crisis" and "A.D. Police", which would be a lot bloodier and lingerie-clad.
At some point I'll be reviewing both those titles on probably YouTube? Keep this frequency clear.

I just sent an email off to a certain YouTube railway historian after finding a 1932 "animation" that was really a collection of live-action railway clips. It's rather more his part of the Venn diagram than mine, but he's famous enough to have been in a Jay Foreman video. So I'm surprised I did it.
