Watched Perfect Blue and Paprika this weekend. OMG.

Disney just doesnt know how to make animated movies anymore lol.

I wanna see Paprika....but Perfect Blue is really good.

Ichirou · « **Reply #2 on:** June 17, 2007, 11:45:03 PM »

I'm trying to imagine Disney making Perfect Blue. They'd make the pop idol's goldfish into talking sidekicks, I bet.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #3 on:** June 18, 2007, 12:18:25 AM »

Haha. Perfect Blue was really good, its amazing how well he shifts scenes. I mean its something I would consider complicated but all three movies above do it with so little effort and its still done so well.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #4 on:** June 18, 2007, 01:44:35 AM »

I've never seen these movies but I support the notion that Satoshi Kon>Pixar

You're a dumbass. I have told you to see Millennium Actress and Perfect Blue for ages.

You don't trust MY opinion when everyone else has been spooging over Kon's shit for the past few months? lmao. It takes COLT SEAVERS to get your dumbass interested when we have have praised these movies to high heaven and back for months?

Get off your high horse, chico. I'm buying you Unforgiven for Christmas, faggo.

I think you mean Oshii. Oishii means "delicious" in japanese.

I hate everything he's done outside of Patlabor, though. He just doesn't have the humanist touch required to make you care about the characters in his films.

Himu · « **Reply #16 on:** June 18, 2007, 02:10:31 AM »

Still better than Disney. Didn't he direct Stand Alone Complex? That gives him kudos. Top 5 material.

I thought Jin Roh was amazing.

Ichirou · « **Reply #17 on:** June 18, 2007, 02:13:59 AM »

His films are visually stunning but they have no heart.

Fresh Prince · « **Reply #24 on:** June 18, 2007, 02:28:02 AM »

I tried to watch Paprika but I was dozing off at the restaurant scene.

Anyway this is an unfair comparison since Disney is for the children, or family friendly whatever.
I want to see Brad Bird make something more geared toward the adult market, that would be awesome.

lol maf

i found tenchi universe at best buy the other day when i picked up roots for my father man. i saw they had tenchi muyo! (the ova) or something, but they had volume..3 instead of a big boxset. I was gonna get that, then I saw Tenchi Universe, which is like the next best thing.

you like tenchi?

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #34 on:** June 18, 2007, 02:58:30 PM »

I don't hate Tenchi, but I don't like it, either. Never could get into the harem stuff.

Himu · « **Reply #35 on:** June 18, 2007, 02:59:51 PM »

Tenchi is one of the few "harem" anime I've ever liked, and it never really feels like a real harem show. There's little fan service at all.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #38 on:** June 18, 2007, 03:54:10 PM »

Tenchi Universe is probably the least fanservice-y of them all. It actually was a lot more fun because of it and sorta reminded me of Slayers in a way. Wacky ensemble cast in wacky adventures.

Im glad publishers are coming around to the older anime again. FLCL, Slayers, Irresponsible Captain Tylor, are all getting proper releases on DVD to make up for the rush releases they got years ago.

Himu · « **Reply #43 on:** June 18, 2007, 04:06:12 PM »

Haha. Really? I own FLCL on dvd. It wasn't a rush job at all. They were actually really good dvds. I know some can't justify the 30 dollars for 2 eps for a 6 ep series thing, but it was worth it, and I got it all for like 20 dollars a disc.

Tyler is getting proper dvd release? What was wrong with the original release?

Old anime

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #44 on:** June 18, 2007, 04:12:37 PM »

[NERD MODE]Old? Really? That shit's not even close to being old.

Let's see some good old Space Pirate Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999, Space Runaway Ideon, Mobile Suit ZZ Gundam, etc. get released over here![/NERD MODE]

I agree but like...what I meant was by OLDER anime, not more recent stuff, since I'm not a big fan to be honest.

Captain Harlock and Galaxy Express 999 <3

You didnt see the latest Tylor releases? By rushed releases I mean video quickly thrown on DVD with no aim to remaster or anything. (ie slayers

)

The Tylor box sets are omg nice. I just have the OVA one, I have the original dvds for the tv series. The FLCL bonuses with the ultimate set are nice

What are the bonuses for the FLCL set?

How much does the Tylor tv set cost?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #49 on:** June 18, 2007, 08:23:15 PM »

60 or so, its cheaper to find the old dvds used if you can. The Tyler sets are just so well done tho. Nice n small tasteful. FLCL has a book that has a portion of the manga and other fun fact crap in it, some post cards, blah blah usual. What is nice is the 4th DVD that has custom music videos created with clips from the show with some of the better songs. There may be more im not sure. Plus the packaging looks awesome ;-)

Himu · « **Reply #50 on:** June 19, 2007, 12:22:49 AM »

Old FLCL dvds came with the manga as well.

I don't know if it's cheap (this is Geneon we're talking about), but there is a box set.

Deep Discount doesn't have the box set, nor do they have the single volumes, for that matter.

Amazon has it for $100, and DVD Empire has it for $75.
