Nazca in the Middle
Posted by garnetfenghuang on July 5, 2009
FOX’s sitcom “Malcolm in the Middle” began reairing of Nick at Nite today. Now while many people love this series, it really doesn’t have anything to do with anime, manga, or video games.
Well, that’s where you’re wrong. The opening theme includes a few anime-like clips incorporated into it. For those of you who don’t know which anime it’s from, that’s because it’s from “Nazca,” an obscure anime that was published in America by Geneon, although the VHS/DVDs are no longer being printed.
Nazca is about a group of people who are actually the reincarnations of Incan warriors. This drives a few of them to wonder if they are only the Incan warrior inside them, or if they really can be “themselves.”
Originally, clips from Akira were going to be used in the theme, but then the people who were working on MitM found out about Nazca and preffered it. They also wanted Nazca to be Malcolm’s favorite show and to include it in the show somehow.
