as a question, but not as an idea yet, i feel compelled to suggest you this
interrogation:
the fairly sudden apparitions in the siventies of such mangas such as
'Goldorak', had a fairly poor context, besides,. while, the ecologist
movement or eco-humanist, meanwhile a lots of kids in Europa, at that time,
turned with empathy towards this kind of funny things, only thanks, so far
goes my present interpretation at this minute, in reason of the special
aesthetics by creators. so that, within your problem, do aestheticks have no
better be used as criterium, as contextuality, seem it does??(so it seems
may-be if i read well this thread).
actually i have presently an argument of this kind with a director, and
scriptwriter, who does quite a lot of researsh in astro-physics, or even
archaeologya, prior to construct the movie. in the constructing of your
self-expression, you should perhaps re-load, down-load, and appreciate what
comes prior to your interest of the characters, the environment they breathe
in, the children, the birds, they see as their contexts to protect
(ie.Actarus love for children, water, and birds against weird war against
Vega's army of Golgoths), or the special different manners in which they
view, as pure beauty, this thrilling environment?
