Look at this fuckin' badass right here:
Anno, apparently circa 1987
This dude knew:

However....at some mysterious point between 1990 and 1996, Anno indefinitely abandoned the "clean shaven" look to give himself a more "dignified appearance" into what is now his trademark Artist's Goatee. While admittedly badass in it's own right, it has grown rather old.
THE BURNING QUESTION:
Should Anno give himself the ol' facial feng shui for old time's sake?
Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.
And so we arrive at demagogy. - Hideaki Anno, 1996
