PS:

Someone gave me a gift certificate to a comic shop as a Christmas gift, and I wanna buy some anime with it.

Been doing some research on Non-Miyazaki great films (I don't really know much about anime, surprisingly)... and discovered some great looking stuff.

I think I'm gonna buy 'grave of the Fireflies' because its good research material for a story I'm writing, but I think I may have to buy some others too cuz they look so fuckin great:

Grave of the Fireflies:


5 Centimeters per second:
:shock:


A Letter to Momo:
(this looks fuckin hilarious lol, though its hard to see/hear the word 'Momo' after listing to Joey Diaz enough)

So yesterday I spent almost 2 whole days while working watching most of these and more online.

Whisper of the Heart
5 Centimeters Per Second
Colorful
Garden of Words
A Letter to Momo
Grave of the Fireflies
Wolf Children
Journey to Agartha

All bigger-budget nicely produced feature films. -I had never really explored anime films beyond Miyazaki, which is weird cuz its totally my favorite artform. Was fascinating to get a flavor of the industry, what kind of stuff is getting made.

After watching a bunch, it seems that MOST Japanese anime (if its not about fighting, or robots, or porn), seems to all be about adolescent girls having crushes on guys, and not knowing what to do with their lives.


That 5 Centimeters Per Second film for example LOOKS absolutely amazing; visually it is fucking awesome. But the stories (there are a few short stories/not 1 film) are ALL about girls having crushes on guys and inner dialogue about their tormented souls in love. Seriously. Its so weak, lol I guess japanese chix love it though.

Also, the number of films I came across where the heroine's father is either dead, or lost at sea is bafflingly high. It just keeps repeating.


I am gonna buy Grave of the Fireflies, and A Letter to Momo.

Both of those were awesome, can't wait to buy hardcopies and watch on a real TV while not working one night. Whisper of the Heart is great too but also just mainly a romance flick.

I also found that in the more lower-budget or action flicks, the writing is usually really bad, lol. Like almost on purpose, as if its a style spoofing on itself or something
