Submastober / Submas Sharetober Day 3!

Scopophobia warning! I've tagged for it as well, so blacklists should find it, but just in case!

Sharetober Inspiration: Megazone23 (1985) - old-school cyber punk anime.

Here's an early sketch of A.I.mmet! @glassesblu recently posted a pic with more updated character designs! However, my very first visual idea of him was as something quite unsettling, a stare that isn't as warm as it could be. Operating something like a digital model, he would talk to users from a 'digital space' that was neon and brightly lit - when the users acted rudely, or implied he wasn't real, he would get much more sinister. He would lean closer to the camera, stare and talk directly to the camera as though he was addressing the person that crossed the line. Of course, this would also backlight him, making his face in shadow, upping the ominous vibe.

As for the inspiration! So I'm old enough to remember when anime wasn't really a thing in America. They had to prove that anime was *adult* and *hardcore*! Megazone23 was one of the anime that was constantly being played before the actual anime I was trying to watch - back on vhs.

It never really caught my attention, especially since I expected the dub to be terrible with unnecessary changes to the dialogue solely to be "cool."

Earlier this year, I decided to finally watch it! And well, it wasn't really the Classic Anime I was hoping for. I didn't actually even care for the characters in it (I found the main character rather annoying) and the story missed out on a lot of cool ideas after introducing them. (I couldn't tolerate the second movie though haha.) BUT it gave me some really good ideas for A.I. characters and their use in public spaces. The Subway Bosses are public figures so what if their likenesses were used to make things better and more accessible and other such things. After all, they can't be everywhere all at once.

Link to the movie below the cut! However, warning-! There is violence and some nudity/sexual content in the movie.
