Sixty Years Since Mighty Atom: 1976
Jan. 14th, 2023 02:24 pmShould someone be so inclined they could “watch a bit of anime from each year” and get through four-fifths of the 1970s on an uninterrupted diet of super robots, just perhaps wrapping things up with Mobile Suit Gundam and some amused pondering of whether it was a revolutionary or evolutionary step in the genre. Back in 2010, my personal anniversary tour had included a number of those series, although back then I’d had to skip over some years I didn’t have any shows from. Now, while still having to admit this remains a matter of personal choice rather than perfect or prescriptive summation, I did want to at least try and encompass a bit more variety. One of my efforts at that was sampling a series adapted from a shojo manga, Candy Candy.
