Guys, he said genre-shattering, INDUSTRY-SHAKING, innovation. None of the animes that gaguri listed were anywhere close to "Industry-Shaking". Honestly, listing off a bunch of "significantly different than usual" but nonetheless pretty darn obscure animes, is not a good counter-argument to what he was saying there. I don't totally agree with Yamamoto, but he makes some great points, and I think some anime fans are a bit too quick to knee-jerk respond against them.
