Hideaki Anno geeks out about Hayao Miyazaki in 'Blue Blazes'

Exactly what it says on the title! I'm gonna effortpost about this clip later this week on reddit, so I needed a youtube version to hardlink to. This clip was taken from French Animation website Catsuka, who had previously posted a version of this video on their tumblr. Gee, sure would be nice to hardlink tumblr videos AMONG OTHER THINGZZZZZZZZZZZ

"Who the hell is Miyazaki!?! A friend of yours?!"
Ironically, Miyazaki *WILL* become one of Anno's closest friends and his mentor in the future. Never give up your dreams, guys.

The fact that Anno is wearing an Ultraman shirt is just icing on the top.

I'm so happy for mah man Hideaki Anno, he's come so far and done so much, he deserves some rest and happiness.

[aortaplatinum]

Based on interviews, this is EXACTLY how I imagine Daicon-era Anno, this is amazing

[ehoba]

the subtitle is wrong. Anno said "Gigant. This is the Gigant"
He watched the ep145 of the second series, "Wings of Death, Albatross".
A huge flying boat called Albatross looks similar to Gigant from Future Boy Conan. Anno pointed out Miyazaki's self-reference

[MrThreeTake]

this plays exactly like me and my roommates arguments, I love it.

I dunno if people know but the guy playing Hideaki Anno is Ken Yasuda, who is also Yu Nanba from Yakuza: Like A Dragon

[sleuthentertainment]

He just was a fan... Hideaki was a crazy fan, but one who lived it inside his heart. This is a valuable lesson about fighting for dreams.
Now he is a friend, a crazy friend of Hayao Miyazaki, but one who feel that friendship burning inside his heart...

[garychrome]

That guy sitting with the books is a marketing genius.

[tonbopro]

brings back memories of my youth，when nobody else knew who Miyazaki was or the Rivalry between the Dorok and Torumekia evident in the Nausica Manga

「何だよ」「ルパンだよ」
「メシ食った？」「うるさい！」
会話通じねえｗ

[Tarkus-Ivalice-dweller]

Anno, the geek. What an interesting life and views this man has had.

[AyaneOfDeath]

Lupin III Cagliostro is indeed a Miyazaki masterpiece
Love the movie

[mainstreetsaint]

If this is anything close to how Hideaki-san was like IRL, I can see why working on Nadia and Evangelion gave him massive depression spells.

[sameaston]

Me when I was a teenager with fixations and no social skills.
Also he has the same glasses as Miyazaki's.

[cbalan]

They yell at each other like they are in a Samurai movie.

[Archedgar]

Wait what? they made a TV series based on Hideaki Anno? that's actually amazing. He's so kooky that even a non-fictional account would be entertaining.

I will have to watch this ASAP.

[Biofan]

I love how he’s wearing his Ultra Tee.

I noticed that subtitle wrong here, but someone already pointed it out in the comments section.
I hope you get the geekiness of the nuances of his speech, that it's normal to at least watch Future Boy Conan.
