That being said, there’s no reason you can’t enjoy the movie without these things (one does not need a degree in Asian Studies to watch a little Anime), but it goes a long way to explaining why it appears as such a trip to Western viewers. Akria is a product of a deep malaise in Japanese politics born from the complacency of the bubble era, and its difficult to parse its narratives about political corruption, rebellion, and social degeneration without understanding contemporary Japanese politics. What makes it difficult for most viewers to grasp is that it’s: 1) the condensation of a 2000 page Manga into a circa 2 hour film, meaning that its the bare bones of a very long and convoluted plot and 2) *very* historically specific regarding a certain moment in Japanese post-war history. I think its worth pointing out, if only simply for the historical record, that Akria actually a pretty sensical film in the right context.

Not that I have much time for watching TV these days. If any of y’all have some particular favorites, I’d love to hear about them. (Because you have to respect the concept.)

I watched Full Metal Alchemist, and while parts of it were cool, as a whole it felt draggy and slow. Then again, it’s quite possible your favorite show simply didn’t flip my switch. I’ve heard of Bleach but never watched it. I haven’t watched hardly any TV at all in two years. If you look at the dates of the above titles, you’ll see that I’m not really on the cutting edge here. Keep in mind that I might not have seen it. Now before y’all start your anguished screeling that I didn’t include Inuyasha or Witchunter Robin or whatever your favoritiest BFF anime of forever is. If you’ve watched it closely, I’m sure you know what I mean. Despite the fact that this is largely an action movie, I consider it a brilliant study in silence and stillness. The music and cinematography are enough make up for the largely nonsensical story/plot/character conflict.Īnd believe me, that’s probably nothing you’ll ever hear me say again, that the cinematography alone makes something worth watching.īut in this one case it’s really true. The last 10 minutes of the movie are like a bad acid flashback.īut you know what? This still makes the top five despite the fact that the movie as a whole makes no goddamn sense.

You know that crack I made up there in #3 about anime turning into total bullshit at the end of the series/movie? This is the perfect example of that.
#Myanimelist ff do not excuse me i think love and lies series#
A brilliant Japanese Anime series that doesn’t turn to total bullshit at the end. It made me feel better when I learned that Neil Gaiman was in charge of anglicizing the screenplay for the English version.Ī true rarity. But this is one of the rare cases where I really do like the dub more. Probably because the translation and dub is absolutely first rate.

Though it’s hard to narrow it down, this one has to be my favorite. Out of fairness to all other anime, we’ll only include one Miyazaki title in this list. I’m looking forward to the day that little Oot is old enough so that I can watch it with him. I could easily hold forth for an hour on the clever storytelling techniques they use. I hear the movie sucked to such a degree that words cannot fully encompass it. Here’s my utterly off-the-cuff top five Anime recommendations.įirst off. Off the top of my head, I’d say that roughly 27% of the internet is composed of outlash. Outlash is less of a reaction, more of an upwelling of directionless vitriol. I have to say I love the term “outlash.” It fills a good linguistic niche. I’d like to think I’m not alone.įirst off, Ben. Or may be hesitant to receive the potential fan outlash because you didn’t mention “insert anime name here” or haven’t seen “insert more different anime name here”.īut I would just like your opinion, as that is one of the primary reasons I read the blog – to learn more about the author. I understand that you are busy or may not have enough interest in writing such a blog. After taking note that you’ve repeatedly referenced Cowboy Bebop, I’d like if you could include in a blog any favorite/recommended anime.
