Itanopunk is a hybridisation between Ichiro Itano’s notoriously dizzy Itano circus style of directing and various punk aesthetics, more often Skate Punk, Surfpunk and Steampunk Samurai.
Though a longtime mainstay of many anime shows like the 2 Astro Boy tv adaptations in colour, Itanopunk still is strongly also associated with the Groovival and Heisei Retro aesthetics.
