there were a lot of future boy conan references this episode which i imagine will fly over the heads of most of the (western) audience. the city design, chase sequences, the plane escape i'm all fairly sure are references. the characters as well, the main girl can be seen as an expy for conan, while the rich girl fits more the role of lana. i'm not sure who the tall one is supposed to be though, as she doesn't easily fit in any of conan's character except maybe the captain cause of her greed

The plane escape being a reference was pretty clear just watching the episode, since they did the same push-launch in the clip of Conan within the show.

But yeah. I didn't pick up most of that. Guess Future Boy Conan moved up a couple notches on my "to watch" list.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

That whole first episode was absolutely delightful. Don't remember the last time I was watching something and was just smiling the whole time.

Whoever owns the rights to Future Boy Conan should just get Masaaki Yuasa to remake it.

The control panel sound effects during that last segment being done with voice acting was hilarious.

This was GREAT. Kanamori owns.

I wonder if the OP animation is gonna be updated halfway throughout the show. It gives me that feeling of "we left dead air in there so we could change it later" within the first 30 seconds.

The anime club screening scene be like

wow episode 1 was ridiculously wholesome. the background art for this is insane. my wife said a lot of it reminded her of early Naruto panoramas, in addition to the super obvious Ghibli stuff.

I'm really liking this! It's cool how the background settings are wild and imaginative but also very believable as urban spaces where actual people live, and the character designs are great and distinctive and expressive. Just seeing those two elements interact already sells the joy of animation all on its own. I wore a smile through most of the episode.

That's Yuasa for you.

Its actually appropriate that the main character is a concept designer as I feel that's one or Yuasa's greatest strengths.

It's only in the broadest of terms but this trio gives me vague vibes of the original Gainax trio as depicted in Aoi Honoo

Hopefully Kanamori won't be trying to bilk Midori for the IP rights to all the classics she helped create in 40 years time

Hi!
What a good first episode. Kanamori rules and knows the value of a good producer/editor that wants to make fat stacks of cash with these excited nerds, enabling them in the process.

Apparently they couldn't get permission to just include Future Boy Conan, which led to this:

Eunyoung Choi posted:

Ah, we didn’t get permission (laughter throughout the room). It’s owned by Nihon Animation, and the situation was complicated. They supported us to get permission, but eventually, we couldn’t. Instead, we had to follow and copy every single frame from Future Boy Conan. We wanted to make it precisely like how it originally was. I’m a big fan of the show, and even though there’s no creativity from us copying it, being able to see the exact same shots in our project was very exciting.

We were happy we could put the scene from Conan into the episode.

2018 opened with "A Place Further Than the Universe". If I remember right, it was even the first anime of the season.

2019 had Mob start on January 7th.

What I'm saying is, opening with a strong AotY contender's a bit of a tradition at this point.
