Yeah, Osamu Tezuka's character design are pretty obscure than western does, the White Lion was homage to lion king from Disney company, Astroboy was given influenced to Megaman since Inafune got that idea. While Gainax have crazy-motivated-westernish in front of them, why they pick this show? Because they are a lot of sexual reference or maybe they really boredom with their own artistic japanese animation like Evangelion movie & TTGL? Who knows? Maybe Gainax will give explain why.
