There was a great 21-page comic in a Japanese publication on special visual effects (published in 1979)...
August, any chance you posting this comic? I (and many others, I bet) would love to see it.

My love of kaiju and animation feel like two different things. I'm not at all tempted to compare the genres (if animation is even a genre - ?), and certainly not choose one over the other. They're separate things and I love both of 'em equally.

That having been said, I will admit that the Toho stuff obviously had a bigger budget and a studio's might behind it. A lot (most) of the Harryhausen stuff, seeing as how they were independently produced (and with low budgets), often times look pretty cheap. Anybody tried watching Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger lately?
