Will there ever be another trailer as great as The Red Spectacles?
Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
It seems like a day can’t go by here at The A.V. Club without some hot new trailer, teaser, or teaser-teasing mini-teaser finding its way into our inboxes. And, sure, we get excited; we’re human, after all. But sometimes, it’s necessary to have some perspective. For that, you have to sit down and ask yourself the only question that matters on the subject of trailers: “Is this better than the original Japanese trailer for The Red Spectacles, the 1987 live-action debut of anime great Mamoru Oshii, best known for The Ghost In The Shell?” The answer is always no.
