And here is video proof for those of you who doubt such a claim.
So after a bit of bad news (the hospital brought up the possibility of my dad having surgery last night, only to later say his potassium levels were too low), I needed a pick-me-up, and Garzey's Wing fit the bill. It's infamous as one of the shining examples of so bad it's good anime. (It was even the subject of Justin Sevakis' first Buried Garbage column at ANN.) The OVA is truly terrible on its own -- absolutely ridiculous pacing, dialogue consisting almost entirely of expository statements, a story that makes absolutely no sense despite said expository dialogue, bland characters who change roles and personalities at the drop of a hat, animation that ranges from bad to hilarious, etc. -- but it's the English dub that makes it a true classic. There are so many hilarious lines that I eventually lost count.
And of course I want to share this with all of you! Kat asked me to provide it for her yesterday, so hey, might as well make more use of the links.
So there you go. Watch the shame of Yoshiyuki Tomino's life to your heart's content. (Yes, the DVD cover proudly proclaims, "From the creator of Gundam!")
EDIT: Sorry for the double post. I got a weird error, but it seems the post went through just fine.
