Ruri’s Law: the vast majority of people are idiots<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Crunchyroll continues to license interesting older anime. Recent acquisitions include the willfully eccentric Oh! Edo Rocket<\/a><\/b><\/i><\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> and Tatsuo Sato’s first major series, Martian Successor Nadesico<\/a><\/b><\/i>. There’s also the exceedingly odd Cromartie High School<\/a><\/b><\/i>. In all three, anything can happen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The very early days of the internet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’ve compiled a short wish list of shows that the people at Crunchyroll might consider for future acquisition.<\/p>\n

Dennou Coil<\/b><\/i> \u2014 It’s available on disc, but I don’t think this classic Miyazaki-does-Ghost-in-the-Shell<\/i> series has ever been legally streamed in North America.<\/p>\n

Shounen Onmyouji<\/b><\/i> \u2014 Protagonist Masahiro is the only shounen hero who doesn’t make me mutter “idiot.” The show was one of the last licensed by Geneon USA and was orphaned when the company went out of business. The later discs are virtually unobtainable.<\/p>\n

Katanagatari<\/b><\/i> \u2014 Also available on disc<\/span>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span>, but I don’t think this eccentric and ironic chronicle of extreme swordsmanship ever been legally streamed here.<\/p>\n

Crest\/Banner of the Stars<\/b><\/i> \u2014 Possibly the best thought-out dramatization of war in space.<\/span>3<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Pupipo<\/b><\/i> \u2014 Short and funny doesn’t mean trivial.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let no screencap go to waste: Nadesico<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh! Edo Rocket<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
