Anime Plots That Predicted Future Events Frighteningly Well

Katsuhiro Otomo’s film depicts a futuristic Tokyo preparing for the 2020 Olympics, a time marked by public demonstrations and concerns about the event’s expense and impact on the city. Interestingly, the film’s vision of a rapidly changing cityscape and rebellious youth – including biker gangs and protests – foreshadowed real-world issues that arose when Tokyo actually hosted the Games. The film’s striking imagery and the phrase “Neo-Tokyo 2020” became widely recognized as the Olympics approached.

Anime That Were Cancelled Right When They Got Good

The animated series, produced by Eight Bit and directed/written by creator Kazuki Akane, originally aired for 12 episodes on TBS and other channels. It was intended to have 24 episodes, but the run was shortened, meaning only half of the planned story was shown.

After the series finished airing, Akane released the scripts and notes that weren’t used in the animation to show fans what was originally planned.

Top 20 Movies You Can’t Believe Flopped At The Box Office

As a film lover, I’m always amazed by Martin Scorsese’s work, and this one is truly special. It’s a beautiful movie about an orphaned kid who makes his home inside a Paris train station back in the 1930s. What really struck me was how he used 3D – it wasn’t a gimmick, but a way to pay homage to those gorgeous old silent films. It’s a shame it didn’t do well at the box office, though. It had a huge budget, and I think the marketing just didn’t quite explain what the film was about, especially to families. It’s still a stunning technical achievement, but it got lost in the shuffle during a very busy holiday season.
