Oh and the McDelivery bike joke in this anime? I didn't realise Japan and South East Asian had the service as far back as 1993 and wasn't Uber either! Prior I thought it was some future prediction.
Food delivery goes way back in Japan. They used bicycles and probably walked even before that. When the Honda Cub came out the service kind of exploded.
@@furui5117 It goes back even further to 1800s india with the dabbawalas or mumbai tiffin service for curries (or bento lunchboxes as they're called in Japan for rice sushi or chicken teriyaki). Hot food delivered in recycable tiffins or bentos. But yeah McDs philippines still do the McSpaghetti and have motorcycle delivered it since 1993.
Yeah this was a failed attempt by Helen McCarthy (remember her?) to set up her own VHS distribution company and featured in her own Anime FX magazine (UK) October 1995 as an (ill advised) cover story. I don't think its Moe anime but more "Pokémon before Pokémon" art style of elongated limbs and adhd action. The US release obviously picked up the UK dub before the Manga Video/Anime UK crash of 1997, prior to the internet, DVD/Blu-Ray and streaming bringing it back.
I started getting into anime in 2000 so Helen McCarthy's attempt and the UK crash of 97 is before my time. Eventually I want to research and make videos about events like that in the history of anime. Eventually I want to do a video about the market crash of 07/08 that took down multiple US importers and anime studios. I want to get better at making videos before I do. I'm also working a lot which gets in the way. And thanks for commenting, it made my day.
@@furui5117 Hey no worries I'm 42 this year but a 90s retro kid at heart. You got into DVD as Starz media took over both Manga Video UK and US Manga Corps USA (along with some disputable Macross/Robotech titles). Kiwfarms and 4Chan has a firm grip on ALL copyright updates and news so no contest for me or upstart youtubers sorry 😞
