Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai!: A Forgotten Moment In Anime History
June 4, 2018 7:31 AM   Subscribe

Perhaps the undisputed king of the 80’s [direct-to-video anime release], however, was Mamoru Oshii, soon-to-be director of Ghost In The Shell. Directing literally the first OVA ever with Dallos, before making the arthouse Angel’s Egg with character designer Yoshitaka Amano and the mech show Patlabor, Oshii’s directorial contributions in the market are memorable for a reason. However, his final OVA is talked about much less in the popular sphere than the others, despite having an enormous impact on contemporary anime as we know it.

Damn that piano playing sequence excerpted in this article has some nice animation.

Well, it is available on nyaa or baka if your morals are lax enough.

Which, you know, for something that's unlikely to see an US release any time soon, or ever...

I gotta tell ya though, I thought I knew my anime history by now but this OshiiVA completely passed me by.
