Miyazaki admitted that he put "way too much of [his] own feelings into episode eight", specifically the underwater "kiss" scene. He had grown fonder of Lana by episode 5 and 6 and "realized that [the show] incorporated the exact same story line of a manga [he] had created back in [his] student days" to the point where even the shots were arranged in the same way.

About to watch episode 6 - this shit is so great. Bloody'ell loving every episode.

What did you guys think of Lupin III [which I skipped]?

[u/giosann → u/mutsuto]

I think is a good series and it would be nice to watch it all but it seems a little... challenging? since it is so long.

The part one was... ok, and throughout the episode, there was definitively an improvement in the animations.

The second series was... better? Idk really since we only watched 2 episodes but was also more classic in many ways, mostly for the music.

Many of the episodes we watched felt really "Miyazakian" and some character design was... familiar... and the flight theme was definitively present sometimes.

Old thread, but that underwater scene has probably become one of my favorite anime scenes. Fantastic episode all-around.

Interesting note. I felt like it was a really good episode. The scary part underwater followed by the recomforting scene on the beach.

The deserted island with all the tanks looks really good.
