Have you seen Sesame Street!? The Count would fuck my day up if I tried to mess with him! I'll stick to the low level vampires like Edward or Count Orlok.

If it's before before digital animation took over then it's my jam. Recently got myself a full collection of Gunsmith Cats and the OVA on DVD.

Hate to bring it to you, but animation has been done with the help of computers for decades now. Not that no noble handwork was involved at all, but eighties and nineties anime most certainly was bolstered by the power of DIGITAL COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY.

I know. Like many things I realise I'm wrong and or misspoke. Think seriously about changing it so I know I'll change it. Then move on with everything forgetting to actually correct myself. What I meant was animation before the about 2001ish, but eh, no point now.

Doesn't matter, just live and learn. That reminds me, I still have two Battle Angel Alita graphic novels waiting for me to read them.

I should go to sleep, but I'm sitting here and filling an NSG thread with classic pop/rock references.
Capitalism, single-payer healthcare, pro-choice, LGBT rights, progressive personal taxation, low corporate tax, pro-business law, welfare for those in need.
Nazism, edgism, dogmatic statements, most of Abrahamic-derived morality (esp. as law), welfare for those not in need.
We are not Albania and I am not Albanian, FFS!
Male, gearhead, classic rock fan, gamer, agnostic.
Not sure if left-libertarian, ex-libertarian or without a damn clue.
Where you can talk about cars!
