On Postcard Memories

Special thanks to my good friend Takara for narrating this video. NOTES 4:04 The Ashita no Joe harmony mentioned is originally from episode 25, then re-used for the second ED. 4:12 Beyond episode 43, directed by Dezaki himself (as alluded to at 4:22), New Moomin contains some interesting incorporation of illustrations earlier in its run. Notably, an illustrated book is directly filmed on episode 1, serving as the template to introduce the world and characters. 11:45 Mizutani would begin work on Versailles alongside Dezaki in episode 19, which goes to show the latter's strong relationship with Kobayashi Productions. 14:56 That's not the interview I'm referring to, I just used the Dezaki footage I had.
