1981. The year that the founders of the studio that would bring us such batfuck insane titles as Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gurren Lagann, FLCL, and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt made their mark.

@scarletshade I can't remember the name of her but she was based on Claris from the amazing Miyazaki-film, Castle of Cagliostro. A lot of Si Fi OTAKU at that time was Anime OTAKU as well. I surely was. That's why GUNDAM and other amazing SiFi animations could evolve in Japan so early.
