- Post subject: Anime anyone?
|
Hey guys I am pretty sure this is not the website for this, however what are your thoughts on Anime? and if you like it what are your favourites?
Personally I love Japan's gift to the world 
These are my favourites
1 Cowboy Bebop. Actually this is my favourite thing ever created  Any music lovers would also do well to check this out as it has in my opinion the greatest sound track of any televison show ever. Also I would recommend checking out The Seatbelts, they are a jazz band that did the music for Cowboy Bebop
2 Neon Genesis Evangelion. For those of you who have watched this you will know what I mean. THIS IS THE BIGGEST MIND FUCK OF A SERIES EVER ...
3 Death Note. I would actually recommend the Manga over the Anime in this case, still the Anime is very well done and a pleasure to watch. Great story.
4 Ghost In The Shell. Ok there are a lot of "Ghost In The Shell's" I am referring to the first movie here. The basic plot is this, a crime thriller about a cyborg policing technological crimes. The directors of The Matrix have also cited this as a major influence
5 Full Metal Alchemist. This is actually on Cartoon Network and is the most accessible of these. The story centres around too brothers who have destroyed there bodies trying to bring their mother back to life though alchemy.
I look foward to reading your favourites

Hmmm I guess that went about as well as I expected. 
Well if anyone on here if ends up watching some you should checkout Cowboy Bebop. Especially if you are into Film Noir, Westerns or like the short lived series Firefly.
I wonder if the is a BEA for Anime...

PERFECT BLUE !!! by Satoshi Kon (1998)
One of my favs : intelligent, entertaining, Jap thriller. Essential viewing. Highly influential (big inspiration for Black Swan).

Hooray, I knew I couldn't be the only person that likes anime.
Yeah Perfect Blue is fanatstic although I seem to recall Darren Aronofsky Saying that Perfect wasn't and influence on Black Swan. Anyway Perfect Blue is so much better
If you Like Psychological thrillers you should definitely check out Neon Genesis

Mima Nina Nina Mima... there's clearly a link between the 2. The subway scenes are pretty similar too ; and many other things come to mind.
Aronofsky was a fan of "Perfect Blue", and actually asked to use the bathtub scene in "Requiem For A Dream".
I like both anyway And I'll definitely check out movies from your list I haven't seen !
"Ghost in a Shell" is great, "Akira" is a classic, and I love all Miyazaki ("Mononoke" and "Totoro" +++).
Another favourite (very different), is the french (well, you saw it coming) "Belleville Rendez-vous". Great story, nice graphics and a wonderful soundtrack !

I'm more of a manga guy. Hayao Miyazaki has made some of my favorite movies of all time, though, animated or not. Satoshi Kon's "Millennium Actress" is one of my favorite films as well. Lupin III is always great for a fun time, Cowboy Bebop is unimpeachable brilliance and I think "Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade" is sincerely one of the greatest war thrillers ever made.

Neat I will check out "Belleville Rendez-vous" then. And yeah Miyazaki is amazing (Nausicaa for me)
As for Perfect Blue and Black Swan. Yeah the are undeniably similar and I would agree that Aronofsky was influenced by it, I am just sure I saw or heard somewhere that he said it didn't influence his movie. Oh Well
