"The most important anime made not because of its anime quality but because it set the template for television animation as a means for promoting preexisting manga. Manga’s already popular, turn it into a TV show, boom, sponsors are willing to take a chance with animation even though it’s an expensive endeavor. Bad news is it inadvertently set the low budgets that most television anime are forced into. And those low budgets led to the creation of techniques that can convey action and emotion with a budget. Love it or hate it this one’s important. "
