This is a slight misremembrance on Anno’s part. Tezuka’s manga is set in the—then—future year of 2003, while the first TV adaptation takes place in 2013. However, Jetter Mars (1977), presumably “the old show [Anno] liked as a kid,” does take place in 2015.

When asked about this, Anno said, “The date is from an old show I liked as a kid, and it was also the year in which Tetsuwan Atom [Astro Boy] took place.”

Fun fact: Hideaki Anno has an affinity for the year 2015. Not only does the Sachiel attack take place in 2015 (on June 22, to be exact), kicking off Evangelion, but Noriko's dad died in 2015. Why's that?

Y'all, Ethan did such a great job putting my narration to a real deal Toonami styled promo! I'm so grateful! And be sure to tune in, it's gonna be a good time! I'll have a full playlist of classic promos and commercials and other such goodies to accompany Tenchi in Love, so consider joining the fun!

Mark your calendars: on 10/17 at 9 pm EDT we’ll be screening Tenchi Muyo in Love, curated by @spacequeenemily.bsky.social, in the GRFM patron discord! To celebrate this special event, Emily and @sundownmcmoon.bsky.social cut a bespoke Toonami-esque promo! This rules so hard, check it out:

Eagle-eyed fans will be able to spot Kazumi's custom RX unit, which presumably signifies her status as the "Rose Queen," a title honoring the top pilot in Japan.

Giant Robot FM @giantrobotfm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Fun fact: The different colors of the RX units signify which class each student is in. First year students operate red mechs; second year, green; and third year, blue. Of course, Noriko pilots a red RX-7, as she’s an inexperienced freshman at the start of Gunbuster (1988-89).

New on the MediaOCD blog... While revisiting an old favorite of mine, I stumbled upon the legacy of an animator who left an indelible impact on the entire anime industry. In today's edition of Beside Myshelf, I pay tribute to the great Yasuo Ohtsuka. mediaocd.com/beside-myshe...

Without Yasuo Ohtsuka, there'd be no Castle of Cagliostro... or a Studio Ghibli.

Fun fact: According to the Gunbuster Complete artbook, the name of the RX-7 comes from Mazda's Savanna RX-7, a luxury car line launched in 1985. The fact that it's similar to the RX-78-2 is a happy coincidence.

The Jollibees mascot doesn’t talk to cops, but even he agrees that Hathaway should be arrested for standing like that:

Not much, but it's just because what I'm working on is mostly comissions I can't show yet. Last thing that's public is the cover for @giantrobotfm.bsky.social's Gunbuster zine. And in a bit I'll have a whole RPG I illustrated! Looking forward to getting back to personal doodles some day.
