2022-01-09 I don't think I'm an "anime otaku," but there are some emotions in anime that I can only get from living long enough. [長年日記]

I love Japanese animation, but I've never been called an "anime otaku" before.

When I talked to my second daughter about this reason, she said, 'Dad, I don't feel like you're crazy about anime.

Ebata: "That's not true. For example, I think that I am crazy for 'Steins;Gate' and 'Steins;Gate Zero'.

Daughter: "You are prominent in certain content. Moreover, the degree of 'love' that can be verbalized in 'logic' is not enough for an 'otaku'."

Apparently, the only way to get people to call me "Otaku.", that

"I need a level of insanity where the world is complete only from my point of view, and the thoughts and common sense of others do not intervene"

She said that,

If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be "ultimate subjectivity".

It seems that I have to have a "crazy love for twisting the laws of physics and even the theorems of mathematics" to get the title of "Otaku.

Aside from that.

-----

In terms of my "objective love for anime", the starting point is "Space Battleship Yamato", and the next one would be "Urusei Yatsura".

The world of "Urusei Yatsura" is more than just a slapstick comedy, it was the first experience in my life that made me realize that no matter how hard I try, there is a talent that I will never reach.

It has now become my epithet.

"Hard work is no match for genius"

This is the first example of my epithet.

Nowadays, it has been changed to 'Do you need to "beat the genius"?'

Anyway, "Urusei Yatsura" was one of the most important guideposts in my life.

-----

I was surprised to hear that "Urusei Yatsura" will be adapted into a TV anime for the first time in about 36 years, since the TV anime that aired from 1981 to 1986.

The voice actor who will play this major role is...

"Morohoshi Ataru: Kamiya Hiroshi."

Indeed, I am convinced that only Mr. Kamiya is capable of taking on this major role in today's world of voice acting.

I'm sorry, but I don't know much about "Ram: Sumire Uesaka".

However, I was deeply moved by the beautiful voice of Fumi Hirano, the first Ram, when I found out that she was playing the role of Furuya (senior) in "Student Council Members".

Recently, I heard the voice of "Saeki (teacher)" in "Blue Period".

-- "Ram" has become such a calm, mature adult...

I was immersed in an emotion that I could not verbalize (and could not share with others).
