I studied history (and by that I mean I liked to watch documentaries) and as a kid I saw educational cartoons and Anime (yes anime) that showed how there was a huge backlash against telephone and telegraphy when they first came out. With farmers blaming telegraph wire for destroying crops or crop diseases and they would sometimes even sabotage the wires and poles.
When I heard of the 5G bullshit that was literally what came to mind... it is incredible how eternal this form of ignorance is.
Which anime? I don't recall watching anything along those lines, but it sounds like a show I'd enjoy
It was when I was growing up in the Middle East. They aired all manner of anime and mixed Japanese media (part live action part anime). That one I was thinking about was also Arabic dubbed and I dont recall the title.
i don't know what that's called with animation, but one of my friends had a little stop motion studio for a while and we called that "go motion" when we'd mix live action with stop motion.
It wasnt stop motion. They had a live action segment with a girl and a puppet or costumed character (my memory is super hazy. It was a late 80s, early 90s thing and I was a little kid) and when they spoke about what they wanted to show they would do some little gesture and short song and then it would go to the anime segment.
oh gotcha i was picturing like that paula abdul music video with the cat
Eehhh... no, it was like the Patty Rabbit Maple Town VHS tapes. You had someone (live action) talk about it and then the cartoon would play.
a reverse beavis and butthead, if you will
You know what? I really need to plumb the depths of the internet to find something about it. Time for some Arabic and Japanese language searches!
