In 1985, the year when the number of new TV anime dropped dramatically, Mobile Suit Z Gundam began to air, but era seemed to have chosen a more popular anime than original anime for fans.
Soccer Boy Trend
In 1983, it could reach more than 30 broadcasts a week, and in 1984 it first showed a decadent trend, and in 1985 it dropped to 20 a week, but in this year, Weekly Shonen JUMP and Sunday each had a sports comic that was able to become popular and set off a popular trend.
Soccer Boy, a soccer manga featuring big empty wings with rare soccer abilities in the world, has been serialized in Weekly Shonen JUMP since 1981 and was animated on TV in 1983. In 1985, when the main characters in television became middle school students, the trend of "Football Boy" centered on female audiences began to take shape.
Of course, this work is also very popular among primary and secondary school boys, but at the Only Sale (Special Theme Doujinshi Sale) held in various places, there are a large number of fandoms that describe the love (that is, homosexuality) of the male characters in the play, and most of the people who participate in these sales parties are undoubtedly female readers.
As a result, the sale, which had ended in one day, was held for two days, and the scene of uniformed students holding or even playing football could be seen everywhere in the sales hall, and the rules that participants could not carry sneakers and balls were also set from this time.
The 80s when "Anda Chong works" prevailed
In addition to Andachong's works "Miyuki Miyuki" and "The Last Champion", which have been broadcast since 1983, the masterpiece "Baseball Hero", which can represent Andachong's achievements in the spring of this year, has also been pushed to the screen.
The original manga is based on the triangular relationship between the twin brothers and the girl next door to Ome Takema, and tells the story of the older brother who inherited the dream of his late brother and strives to storm Koshien.
The comic has a lot of romantic comedy elements, so although it is a baseball theme, it is highly supported by female readers.
The anime "Baseball Heroes" was broadcast on television for two years, and the ratings basically exceeded 20%, while reaching a record 32.9% at its peak. The theme song "Baseball Heroes" sung by Yoshimi Iwasaki is still an indispensable cheering song for many college baseball teams.
After that, the 1987 "Sunshine", 1995's "H2" and 2009's "Lucky Clover" continued the glory of Andachong's works, but the peak of Andachong's trend is still "Baseball Hero".
The Tsukuba Science Expo exhibition opened
Following the Osaka World Expo in 1970 and the Okinawa Ocean Expo in 1975, the Science Expo Ikuba 85 in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture was officially held with the theme of "Humanity, Habitation, Environment and Science and Technology" and the mascot "Cosmic Star Maru".
The exhibition introduced the latest scientific and technological robots, HSST and optical fiber communications at that time, and each pavilion made great efforts in terms of bold pictures, attracting about 20.33 million visitors in the exhibition time of about half a year.
Many of the ruins of the venue have been converted into parks or industrial sites, and they have become part of the city of Tsukuba Research Gakuen.
Although the number of people entering. Compared with the 64.21 million at the Osaka World Expo, it is still a lot less, but for many children who come to visit, robots that can move and computers that automatically translate can make them feel the future of life.
