Posted by SignOfZeta on August 02, 2024 at 10:36:42 EST in reply to This sounds pretty on-brand for them, heh. Hmmm... if you emailed me on Yahoo, that's one I stopped using. I just logged in to see if I could read what you sent, and it seems that they delete inactive email inboxes after a year of inactivity. Wtf! I used that email address a LOT back in the day, and everything's just gone now? Fuck that really sucks. Well you can use my Gmail account now... bean the gene at gmail. Speaking of Hameln, I binge watched it right before COVID hit, and then found a great article that captured a lot of my thoughts about the show... so much so that I emailed the author to compliment what he wrote. (inside) from Bean.

Yeah, he’s a fan and makes a lot of good points. I think even he overdoes the “there’s so little animation” angle though. That honestly never bothered me. They did it a LOT in those old Tatsunoku shows and they looked great. They just did it more in Hamlin. I wonder if any Japanese fan complains about lack of anime in anime when they still have FM radio dramas based on manga. If the animation isn’t impressive enough your system clearly isn’t loud enough because you shouldn’t be even noticing it!
 
He makes a pretty good case for the TV show. “People” do seem to prefer the (then nauseatingly popular) slapstick fantasy vibe but man at this point would people even remember with Fortune Quest and Slayers and everything else? I think this “failure” is probably more fondly remembered by its few fans than a manga-authentic version would have been 30 years later. The way it was made it stands out.
 
Btw, my question was “Does the last LD actually exist?” At the time I knew the catalog number but couldn’t find an actual picture of it. I thought it would be so fitting if the final LD got cancelled but I recently did find proof that it was made…if only I could find the actual thing. I have the Movie and all other volumes. It’s a very weird release in that it has five (5) episodes on it which means it was an expensive two disc release…late in the life of a flop show. It getting cancelled would have done wonders for my persecuted fan complex but I guess I just need to go shopping.
