The "Robot Riders" miniseries takes inspiration from the Mecha genre popular in Japan. As of the show's Art Evolution introduced in the "Wild Wheels" miniseries of
Season 3, and into Season 4-onward, speed lines can sometimes be used. It gets much more expressive and detailed as the series progresses. The Blinkins, like many 80's cartoons, has
animation by a Japanese company, though it was produced in America. Steve Ahn's Blossom Detective Holmes brings over the eastern flair from his time working on Voltron: Legendary Defender and The Legend of Korra, channeling it into a young adult mystery series. According to the series' mission statement, it aims to
make anime a viable production in the U. S. the same way western series could be made in Japan. The Boondocks uses stylistic Watanabe-based animation, chiefly because Aaron McGruder is One of Us. Also, most of the animation studios that worked on
this show are in Korea (however, Madhouse in Japan did do a bit of work on this show as well, and two of the animation studios are owned by Japanese companies Madhouse and Studio Gallop). There's an Easter Egg homage to Samurai Champloo in the second opening.
In the 1950s, Jim Pollard[8] and Wilt Chamberlain[9] had both dunked from the free throw line—15 feet from the basket. Chamberlain was able to dunk from the free-throw line without a running start, beginning his forward movement from within the top half of the free-throw circle. [9] This was the catalyst for the 1956 NCAA rule change which requires that a shooter maintain both feet behind the line during a free-throw attempt. [10] An inbounds pass over the backboard was
also banned because of Chamberlain. [11] Offensive goaltending, also called basket interference, was introduced as a rule in 1956 after Bill Russell had exploited it at San Francisco and Chamberlain was soon to enter college play. [12] While at the University of Kansas, Chamberlain was known to have dunked on an experimental 12-foot basket set up by Phog Allen. [9][a] When Chamberlain dunked the ball it was called a "dipper dunk. " A dunk by Alcindor Lew Alcindor rule[edit] Dunking was banned in the NCAA and high school sports from 1967 to 1976. [15][16][17] Many people have attributed the ban to the dominance of the college phenomenon Lew Alcindor (now known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar);[18] the no-dunking rule is sometimes referred to as the "Lew Alcindor rule. "[19][20]
Others have attributed the ban to racial motivations, as at the time most of the prominent dunkers in college basketball were African-American, and the ban took place less than a year after the 1966 NCAA University Division basketball championship game, wherein a Texas Western team with an all-black starting lineup beat an all-white Kentucky team to win the national championship. [21] Under head coach Guy Lewis, Houston (with Elvin Hayes) made considerable use of the "stuff" shot on their way to the Final Four in 1967.
Plot[edit] Akira Tendo, a 24-year-old office worker of an extremely exploitative marketing firm, discovers himself trapped in a routine and meaningless life. He lacks drive and motivation after three years of abusive treatment; however, when a zombie apocalypse unexpectedly strikes Tokyo, everything is turned upside down. Instead of succumbing to dread, Akira sees this as an opportunity to experience life to the fullest rather than settle for his humdrum, depressing existence. He decides to create a bucket list of everything he wants to do before becoming a zombie in order to not only experience it firsthand but also to show that he is still alive and well. This decision gives him a newfound sense of purpose.
Others soon join him in his journey: Kencho, Akira's old college buddy who seeks to be a stand-up comedian; Shizuka, a sullen and blunt woman who is also seeking to escape an abusive life; and Beatrix, a German college graduate who seeks to experience Japan in infatuation of its culture. With them at his side, Akira embarks on a number of exciting and frequently bizarre excursions throughout zombie-infested Japan, checking off bucket list items that range from simple pleasures like eating at expensive restaurants for free to more extravagant pursuits like going on roller coasters and visiting haunted houses. The group also comes across other survivors who have their own motivations for surviving as they
make their way across the country and its swarms of flesh-eating zombies. Along the journey, they forge odd alliances, face their own anxieties, and learn the importance of friendship and the human spirit's ability to persevere in the face of difficulty.
