@pic no. 2: Tomino wants you! XD
and why the heck Tomino didn’t create a sequel to Brain Powerd. Well, a spin-off would do, LOL!
Anno can’t beat Tomino. Tomino good storyteller indeed.

Yes, he certainly was trying to talk about the true nature of cinema.

Thank you for pointing that out. We will look into the video player issue.

I don’t really know about ‘finest creative minds’ and ‘genius,’ but he is a very entertaining man, and his talk was quite entertaining as well.
The best moments was when he made the bald-faced admission that the Zeta movies were done to follow the money, and how civilians made for good leads because they are ‘easier to kill.’
He mentions cinema as if it is above ‘mere’ entertainment or at least he suggests that there is a hierarchy to art. It isn’t something I agree with, but it is interesting should he consider his animated works as artistic heights.
As for your embedded media player, somehow I can’t see a progress bar (maybe it’s just my screen) so I couldn’t tell how long the video is and how much of it is left. I thing these are good considerations to look into; as it would suck to not be able to finish it and have no idea how much I’ve missed.
