Sixty Years Since Mighty Atom: 1991

In trying to find anime series to stand in for a whole year of production I’ve gone back to a certain number of shows I haven’t seen for a while. After thinking Dear Brother would be a decent choice for its year, I did wind up realising it hasn’t been quite as long since I watched it, and that by its close its girls’ high school melodrama had gone in a direction or two I hadn’t quite cared for. I suppose I tried to escape that thought by connecting “attempting to make a certain deal not just of single series, but of ‘sample episodes’” with how I’d seen the first episode of Dear Brother many years before the actual series.
