How popular is Lovecraft in Japan? It seems like his influence seems to be quite prevelant but I sometimes wonder to what degree it's just intermediate influence. If it wasn't just Go Nagai being influenced by him, and then his work inspiring Miura and Anno, Anno's work then inspiring things like FF VII or Xenogears. I know Chiaki Konaka and Miyazaki with Bloodborne definitely were influenced by him directly though.

It's literally an illustration of Cthulhu by Tatsuya Morino. I know boomers prefer to get by word of mouth and faith rather than reserarching information but it's time to catch up grandpa. If you can use the internet you have no excuse for ignorance.
Since when was medusa colossal and lived in the sea anyway?
