This cel art is from Joker 3100, an ancient artbook released by Mamoru Nagano from the late 80s.

Basically, this is Nagano’s vision for what an Five Star Stories anime adaptation would have looked like at the time. More simple character designs, detailed backgrounds, and more oil stains on the Mortar Headds. Compare this to the actual movie by Sunrise and you can see how different his vision was, it was much less of a shoujo fantasy and more of a fairy tale war epic. It’s interesting to see how his vision has changed from back then to now, with Gothicmade (the movie) being his current vision for an FSS anime adaptation.

Nagano once intended to direct his own short half-hour Five Star Stories OVA, titled “Tales of Joker”, a few years before this artbook was released. It was supposed to be animated by Gainax (the ad makes special mention of Hideaki Anno), as a way of promoting the FSS resin kits for their Otaku merchandise store (General Products), sadly other than an ancient snippet from the magazine for the fifth Wonder Festival, this project never saw the light of day. This all happened a few years before the official FSS movie by Sunrise went into production.

These images may have been remnants of the production art for that abandoned film.

combining my knowledge of urban planning with the hours of video essays on horror i’ve consumed to come to the conclusion that the real monster is car culture
ok so let me explain. an oft repeated saying in urban planning circles is that cars are the dominant species on the planet. this is based on a 1960s cartoon that satirizes the north american obsession with cars, how much space we devote to them, and how we design our entire cities and lives around them. in jacob geller’s video on the architecture of alienation he talks about the fear created when a space we expect to be built and designed for us subverts those expectations and becomes hostile or incomprehensible. to many people who can’t access vehicles or proper documentation to be able to drive this is exactly what the car-centric city becomes. it is a place that should be designed for people but is not and is hostile towards those who are unable to drive, think about suburbs with no sidewalks or urban food deserts with no grocery stores within walking distance. not to mention the danger imposed by cars themselves, especially when car manufacturers are locked in an arms race to make the biggest, bulkiest vehicle in the name of supposed safety for the driver with very little regard for pedestrians and cyclists. altogether, a car centric city is a horror unto itself.
