Long before anime was as streamlined as it is today, it was a very niche category of entertainment that was seen as little more than a thing for children to indulge in. Even in its inception, people who worked in the industry have tried to prove this sentiment about anime wrong by showing just how sublime of an artform that it could be. Studio Gainax, back when it was a much humbler, smaller company, was one of the first studios to accomplish showing anime in its true beauty. By mixing their nerdy love for aviation, animation, technology and appreciation for beauty, they made a beautiful anime that holds up well to this day. This is one of the scenes from that anime and one of my favorite scenes in cienma. I hope that all people who come across this scene enjoy it as much as I did during my very first time watching this film.
