It's already January 21st in Japan, which means that it's the birthday of Mamoru Nagano (57), Taku Iwasaki (49), and Goro Miyazaki (50)!
A designer, a musician, and a director. Two are eccentric moody geniuses while one is the forgotten son of a moody eccentric genius. Hopefully they continue to live long and give us more work to remember them by.
There was some meme VA's birthday today too, but who cares about her?
Kayden Sanders
Being Goro must be a curse, I swear.
Thomas Martin
Who's the meme seiyuu?
Isaac Thompson
There's going to be like 5 threads for her soon, so you'll see.
Joseph Cox
Goro Miyazaki was a mistake
Jaxson Nguyen
>Goro Miyazaki (50) >50 WHAT THE FUCK!?
Andrew Smith
What's surprising about that?
Anthony Price
You forgot the most birthday person of all.
Michael Rivera
That he's an old fart already while his even older dad is still alive.
Dominic Jenkins
Who fucking cares about them let alone their birthdays?
Dominic Taylor
>t. Nana
Jose Wood
I've never understood why she has so many fanboys on Sup Forums. More than HanaKana and Sawahsiro.
Jaxon Price
What happened to Taku? You barely hear him in anime now. Oh right he did QUALITY Code, the poor guy.
Why is Nagano such a shit also
Jack James
>Why is Nagano such a shit also
You tell me, what's so shit about him?
Jeremiah Rodriguez
Important to remember that unlike most im@s characters, Takane shares Harami's birthday.
Gavin Anderson
>You tell me, what's so shit about him?
He's probably referring to those retarded rumors about him like the SRW and Turn A shit.
Jack Hughes
When is Nagano gonna work on a TV again? Fucking come back you pretentious hack.
Ayden Ward
TV anime*
Easton Garcia
>rumors about him like the SRW and Turn A shit
Explain?
Isn't SRW that stupid crossover robot game?
Eli Wilson
Go dig it up in the archives. "Nagano SRW".
Most of the shit that's flung at Nagano is based entirely on memes and rumors.
Daniel Ortiz
>Most of the shit that's flung at Nagano is based entirely on memes and rumors.
Isn't that how it is with everyone?
Lucas Myers
Say what you will about Nagano but the man is one hell of a costume designer.
Ryan Howard
Lots of people are pissy about Nagano because he falls into the "pretentious author who thinks he's too good for anime" trope. Which is true to a certain extent. Unfortunately since Nagano is so obscure no one knows much factual evidence about him and his works and therefore most of the things written about him that started out as jokes ends up being the real thing and hurts his reputation considerably in the west. It's not like Miyazaki or Anno or Tomino shitposting where most of their works and interviews are easily accessible.
Oliver Diaz
>Unfortunately since Nagano is so obscure
But he's not? He gets referenced on here quite often.
Christian Howard
I meant actual, factual information about him is obscure. Like his relationship with Tomino, which most people aren't even aware of.
Andrew Ross
>calling Nana a meme seiyuu Wew lad.
Hudson Gray
Goro is 50 already? it's too late for him to learn making anime.
John Price
Goro never wanted to make anime in the first place.
