You've seen the wrong Bakshi movies. Panzeux. Check out Heavy Traffic and Coonskin (aka Street Fight)

Because of this video, I am 1 month and 5 minutes into producing my feature animated screenplay.

[toothlesshedgehog113]

@holymcshizlet No, not at the moment. I stopped the animated film idea after about a year of total work--six months for the screenplay and six attempting to animate it. I'm on to a better live-action project now, though, and I guess I might set up a website when that's finished.

@ZacharyWyman do you have a site?

Ya FUCKING rite man, Japan could care less about foreigners around that time, and BTW their media has tons of foreigners probably more then than now, btw i think would of cared less cuz they've been doing adult anime and hentai for quite a while, and BTW I said WHAT IF he could have done his work in japan, so get that stick of ur ass and stfu

@MrJhaggerty1992 Are you a troll or just retarded? Japan is one of the most insular nations in the world when it comes to it's entertainment industry, especially in the 60's and 70's when they were STILL rebuilding their country after the war.

[MrJhaggerty1992]

Ralph bakshi is a genius, I don't know he didn't do his animation in Japan, if he did he coulda of got away with everything, and would of had better animation, just imagine if he did a movie with miyazaki

[MikeDiFool]

@BoxxyfanSC You know shit about shit. Bakshi made due with what limitations he had production-wise and made some of the best adult animated movies. Period. You sound like some jaded Disney company man.
