I agree with you there. Back in the day anime in general was put back in the back burner. Just in the late 80's, the entire 90's until recently anime got the recognition it deserved, but over-hyping can't be good. People start loosing interest and the genre slowly disappears into oblivion.
"I miss hand drawn mecha. Mac Plus, although a weee bit expensive, was nothing short of triumphant. I LOVE the new CG valks, but nothing comes short of the detail in DYRL, or other series that still fashioned stuff not entriely produced on computer.
Note: I now Mac Plus used some computer elements, which I dont mind. I just don't want to see the WHOLE process lost in digial images. "
Sadly GreenGuy42, hand drawn mecha or (cartoons?) are slowly phasing out.
