00:00Here's a quickie. I think I've found the inspiration for the character design of Villain Gargoyle in the Japanese animated
00:10television series
00:12Nadia the Secret of Blue Water for Shigeru Naomi no Nadia, produced by Studio Gainax, concept by director Hayao Miyazaki,
00:21and directed by Hideaki Anno, broadcast on NHK between 1990 and 1991, based on the writings of Jules Verne, and
00:32mostly his novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
00:36Gargoyle's identity shrouded in mystery for most of the series. He wears a hood and mask.
00:43I never saw anything quite like this depiction until recently, when I saw some images from the annual Carnival of
00:53Venice, a festival held in Italy.
00:56And there you will find many participants in costume and masks. Check this one out.
