What's all this modern rot, DerekTheRed? Let's go back to a true golden age of anime. Er... not. I hope people aren't offended by the apparent racial overtones of this image - it is, after all, a product of its time.

Indeed.

It was made during WW2. The spider is trying to lure the "Yamato nadeshiko" ladybird into his lair. The parallel between racially pure Japan and barbaric USA is clear. It's an historical oddity in what is otherwise a beautiful, if primitive, anime.

Your turn, Hikari14.

Now for something equally good and fairly unknown, I think.



So why don't you try a slice of this cake?

If you don't mind me asking, Hikari, but how did you place errinundra's so quickly? Do you watch a lot of old stuff like that?

Yes. Google's search by image function pegged errinundra's image right away.

That is strange, when I right click the pic and search google for this image I got 0 matches. It gave me random black and white pictures as visually similar images.

I'm not doubting your results, but here's a copy of my screen when I search by image.



Click the thumb for the full image.
