Welcome to the sixth and final main article of Watson Watches (the Retro Edition)! For anyone who’s just joined us and has no idea what’s happening, this is the follow-up to a series of interview-style articles published in 2014. The idea then was to expose me – who at that point was totally new to anime – to some specific titles and then ask me some hopefully interesting questions about them. The main difference this time around is that the shows Artemis has been getting me to watch were all released before 2000.
Just for fun, we’ve also been doing this in reverse-chronological order. Previously we tackled 1986’s Dragon Ball and for our last show, we’re going back further in time with Rose of Versailles, first released in anime form in 1979. As always, I watched everything on my own without looking anything up, and the following questions were given to me afterwards.
Note: Although this is the last specific show to be discussed in this Watson Watches series, there will be one more post next month to wrap things up. We’ll be discussing my overall experiences with these older shows and how my opinions regarding anime as a whole may have changed as a result, so stay tuned!
