But fraking A Shark's Tale did. What a joke.
I'm sad Steamboy didn't get an oscar nom... by Johnno	Nov 27th, 2005 09:27:28 AM
And I'd second GITS. Anyway... Advent Children pushed back AGAIN???!!! This is too much! Also Samurai 7 started out great but ends up being so-so... but anyway I've never seen the original movie... And now, when does Howl's Moving Castle release here anyway?
and what are... by blackthought	Nov 27th, 2005 12:35:14 PM
the views on witch hunter robin? yay or nay?
Mononoke & Totoro by blackwood	Nov 27th, 2005 01:11:46 PM
The Mononoke dub was written by Neil Gaiman of Sandman fame. Hella cool. And Totoro - one of my favourite films ever, and the voice acting in the first english release wasn't so great that a second go with improved standards is a bad idea. If they do it right.
Fuccons is bloody weird... by Latauro	Nov 27th, 2005 02:16:19 PM
I saw that clip they had floating around online. I'm not even sure if I found it funny or not! And about frigging time on that Totoro disc. Been waiting forever on that one...
Witch hunter Robin is neither nay nor yay... by Johnno	Nov 27th, 2005 03:51:00 PM
Just Meh... though it has its moments...
Oh wait... seems Steamboy has gotten an oscar nom... by Johnno	Nov 27th, 2005 06:59:38 PM
I expected it last year... but what the heck... good stuff, is Corpse Bride in the running? Otherwise I don't seem much other competition...
Was Appleseed nominated ? by Neo Zeed	Nov 27th, 2005 07:09:26 PM
cause that movie was awesome!
appleseed was awful by blackthought	Nov 27th, 2005 08:48:02 PM

RE:appleseed was awful by Neo Zeed	Nov 28th, 2005 08:02:39 AM
I saw it in the theater and the animation was mindblowing. Cool, destructive action. Plot was tight. Dialogue at times was off but it wasn't enough to derail the movie. Certainly better than those overated Ghost in the Shells. Why the beef?
I second Appleseed as being good... by Johnno	Nov 28th, 2005 08:15:24 AM
Not mind blowingly good, but entertaining. I'm not too much a fan of the cell shaded look. I'd much prefer the CG/traditional blend of animation in Ghost in the Shell, which I'd argue was great...
niether the animation or the story blew me away... by blackthought	Nov 28th, 2005 08:42:47 AM
i just thought it was serious bore and it blowed in the not so good sense.
Yo, can somebody answer if there is some link between anime fli by Neo Zeed	Nov 28th, 2005 04:59:44 PM
At least the action ones sometimes end on some power pop song, which I find entertaing. The fashion are bizzare with multicolored hair and stuff. Even their pop music has a synthy upbeat tone (though I think it sucks compared to alt. 80's stuff or anything else for that matter). Their anime maintains an etherealness like movie like Legend. Probably a silly question, but I'm curious if that's true? If so, any articles you can link to, perchance? 'Cause I think the 80s are the shiznit and if Japan's stuck in it, I gots no problem with that! Also how did Transformers the Movie do over in Japan because I think over here it set back action animation films back, with the death of Optimus (though it had it's moments). Had he not died that movie flick would have been a blockbuster, no doubt (or not). Inquiring minds wanna know. PS: I do prefer traditional animation to cel or computer stuff as well (Especially Madhouse!). But I find Ghost in the Shell a 'lil overhyped, but hey everyone's got their opinion. No biggie.
Agree about the Fuccons. Watched with amusement at its bizarrene by chickychow	Nov 28th, 2005 05:03:05 PM
I caught 3 eps on some anime-on-demand channel and kept hoping it would up the freakiness level, but its kinda just half a joke. Seems like they were all written and made in under an hour. Thank god they're all only 3 minutes long.
