The Golden Bird (Grimm Douwa: Kin no Tori, Toei/Madhouse, prod. 1984/rel. 1987): the moment I saw Orphan had released a full HD version of this, I knew I had to immediately rewatch this hidden gem by 80s Madhouse that is one of Toshio Hirata's and Manabu Ohashi's masterpieces
Seizo to Numa (清造と沼, 1979): original story by Sukeo Miyajima, script by Isao Okishima, direction and animation by Ajia-do's Osamu Kobayashi and art by Kazunori Shimomichi. This is episode 36B of Group Tac's omnibus series Manga Kodomo Bunko
2002: Ojamajo Doremi Dokkaan! (Takuya Igarashi) - Doremi is one of my favorite things ever, and Doremi peaks here. Few things have ever made me as emotional as these final five episodes. (Ojamajo Doremi is a good place.) Watch Doremi!
"One day, I hope to find the thing that matters the most to me. I'm sure it exists."
This is a Dezaki who has grown more mature - more willing to restrain his aesthetic impulse and let technique serve the story - but still able to play around with the many ways to create beauty and to explore all the abilities of his staff to the fullest
Super Dimension Fortress Macross #36: "I won't lose it anymore, my own path that I'm walking..."
Treasure Island #10: "The sunset is a traitor. It can tip our hearts into darkness in an instant. When I finally understood it, I hated sunsets." "If that's so, then why do you keep looking at them?" "Because, even though I'm aware of it, they're still beautiful."
The anatomic accuracy and detail of the animation in this series is truly outstanding. These pictures (and the last one in the previous tweet) are all from episode 39, AD by Akio Sugino and KA by two of Mushi Production's very best animators, Mikiharu Akabori and Teruto Kamiguchi
Halfway through Ashita no Joe. The show dragged its feet far too much after Joe was released, but the Wolf arc was a very welcome return to the cinematic, quasi-experimental direction and tooth-grinding drama that I want from Dezaki
