Today on Cue Perception you'll hear as I nerd out about a cue from an anime film that almost didn't happen, but encompasses all anime in a single film. Mech armor robots, ultra super hero females, battles to the death, annoying side characters that make you want to scream and so much more. The film I speak of is Project A-Ko. It was directed by Katsuhiko Nishijima and the animation style was from a multitude of artist and animators. There are so many facts in regard to the production in this one episode alone. The cue that I chose is highly energetic and if you have never seen the film, I urge you, no I implore you to seek it out and watch it, possibly for multiple viewings. | |||
