Some of the stories Takeda tells have also been dramatized by Kazuhiko Shimamoto (who attended Osaka University of Arts at the same time) in his manga Blue Blazes ( commentary / allusions), which was adapted into a 2014 Japanese live-action TV show with cameos by anime/manga industry figures Shimamoto wrote about several events which are described in Notenki Memoirs and some clips from the TV show are included where appropriate. Much of the information Takeda discusses may have appeared in English-language sources before, but in obscure or missing sources and never pulled together, and it is a valuable source for non-Japanese-speakers interested in that time period. Notenki Memoirs is an autobiography by a founder of Gainax who became active as a fan and in the anime/manga industry in the late 1970s it describes the student fan club scene around SF conventions, the creation of the famous Daicon video shorts, the founding of Gainax, its subsequent successes & travails (although with less emphasis on Neon Genesis Evangelion than one might expect), terminating around 2001. Note: to hide apparatus like the links, you can use reader-mode ( ). Nevertheless, NGE fans will still find many revelations here, like the origin of NGE production in the failure of the Aoki Uru film project (an origin undocumented in any Western sources before Notenki Memoirs was translated). Those reading it solely for Evangelion material will probably be relatively disappointed: Takeda clearly finds NGE not very interesting, may have bad associations due to being targeted in the tax raids, and he was writing this in 2000 or so-too close to the events and still working at Gainax to really give a tell-all, and it’s not a terribly long or dense book in the first place. It is an invaluable resource for any researcher, and I felt compelled to create an annotated e-book edition in order to elucidate various points and be able to link its claims with versions of stories by other people (for example, Okada's extensive Animerica interview) Much of the information Takeda discusses may have appeared in English-language sources before, but in obscure or missing sources and never pulled together, and it is a valuable source for non-Japanese-speakers interested in that time period.įor people interested in the history of the anime industry, Takeda fills in many gaps related to Gainax-it’s hard to think of any source which covers nearly so well DAICON III, DAICON IV, General Products, or throws in so many tidbits about surrounding people & Japanese SF fandom.
