Pokemon creator dies

Quote:

Legend of the Galactic Heroes producer Masatoshi Tahara and translator Dan Kanemitsu report that Minky Momo creator and Pokémon writer Takeshi Shudo passed away. He was 61 years old. Shudo had been rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery after he collapsed at the Nara railway station's smoking area in Nara City on Thursday. The hospital's emergency care center determined that he had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage in his head.

R.I.P. to a man who helped with one of the greatest anime ever made.

And no I don't mean Pokemon.
I am talking about the masterpiece which is Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

I am starting to feel older when I see people like this die.
I remember when he was in his late 30s.

Once again R.I.P.

No he worked on the script for some of the later parts of the Galactic Heroes series.

So he had some role in crafting it.

Anyone who worked in shaping The Legend of the Galactic Heroes is awesome.

It's too bad that present day anime are not fit to lick the boots of the Galactic Heroes series.

Monster stacks up to it but that was from 2004 and was basically from the early 1990s manga.

I think they are better off taking old 1980s and 1990s manga and making them into anime for those who have not read the manga to experience good old classics.

If they follow the manga really close then it could produce a great show.

So he's not the creator?
It's also a bit sad to see the writer for the only good anime ever is dead.

That is pretty much failed logic.

And yes I have been watching all the anime and it's pretty much horrible crap or average.

You just won't see anime with high production quality like Monster or Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

It's easier and more profitable for a company to churn out the same old bland and thin plots over and over then sprinkle some ***** material or some random over the top battles.

There are also the bad anime which try too hard to be different.
They make their characters way too over the top and usually dress them in silly outfits, hairs styles and other stuff.
These character styles are way to erratic.
Characters looks should be only influenced by the character themselves.

For example Tenma dresses nice and his style is influenced by German 1980s fashion. He does this to fit in as he is Japanese.
When on the run he has long hair because of ill-preparation.
He wears a long coat to hide his looks.
A character's traits should affect his looks and not the other way around.

Monster episode 9 had a great example of one episode being it's own story.
It was full of all the necessary parts to make a great show and it was only done in one short episode.
A lot of anime could not achieve this in all of their series while Monster does it in one episode.
It has great character depth, an issue and a conclusion. It does this with no extra baggage. It only uses was is essential to the plot.

A show should not strive for complexity it should try to remain simple and only branch out if the plot demands it and only if it can be done coherently.
Most newer anime have too much added garbage.
They try to become complex just for the hell of it when most of the stuff they throw in can be taken out with the plot remaining perfectly intact with no change in quality.

None of new anime is garbage and of none of its horrible or crap. I been watching all the anime to. Probaly the manga has better story well maybe some anime has echhi in it probaly its popular thing in japan. No one likes boring plain character with simple clothing or ugly hairstyle it will make the anime look bad. You cant help it if you dont like characters with those silly outfits and hairstyle the manga artist made them that way. Alot of other people dont like anime with ugly and bad drawing.

Well you have different tastes then me.
Kind of like how one of my younger friends loved the Power Rangers as a kid but now he thinks they are laughable.
He also thought the Mortal Kombat movies were great but when he was older he watched them much later and laughed at how bad they were.

Sometimes you need to experience something of higher quality to understand how well everything else scales.

Shows like The Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Monster are benchmarks of the anime industry.

If I never saw shows like that then maybe the below average anime would be better. But since I have seen anime with higher production quality the bar is set much higher.

If you want you can pick one anime and I will tear it apart for you and show you what is wrong.

Although it might fall on deaf ears as your tastes seemed in favor of those types of anime regardless of any criticism I add.

And if you want one anime that is complete garbage and is new then look at High School of the Dead.
