The Girl Who Leapt Through Time / Toki o Kakeru Shōjo
Great film. I regret not having seen it earlier (as I thought that it didn’t sound that interesting — I was wrong). Addendum: Summer Wars is also great.

Revisiting old movies
Bad example: Ghost in the Shell 2.0. The CGI just doesn’t feel right, and it feels like messing with the film just for the sake of messing with it. Good example: Evangelion 1.0 — You are (not) alone. In contrast, … Continue reading

’tis a good season for anime
I haven’t watched much anime in the past few years, but recently there have been a fair number of shows which I’m actively following again; some due the teams behind them (Seirei no Moriboto, Ghost Hound), and some due to … Continue reading

Tekkon Kinkreet
An amazing movie. Very enjoyable, but slightly fragmented (with many fades to black separating scenes) and very surreal. I’m a bit sad that many people won’t bother with the film because it seems to make very little sense in the … Continue reading

Paradise Kiss Anime
The now is a Paradise Kiss anime (from Ai Yazawa’s manga) and judging from the first episode, it looks good. It sometimes mixes real backgrounds, characters have facial expressions, and it’s got voice actors I haven’t already heard a hundred … Continue reading

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (again!)
I’ve been reading the more recent chapters of the Yokohama Shopping Log manga by Ashinano Hitoshi this evening. It made me cry (again!). Thus, I have to implore you — whoever you may be — to read it and be … Continue reading

Emma – Victorian Romance
I quite liked the first episode of the “Emma” anime (and I have to admit that I did not yet get around to take a look at the manga — although I’ve finished “Shirley” by the same author), all of … Continue reading

Beyond the Clouds
“Beyond the Clouds” is Shinkai Makoto’s new work, after Voices of a Distant Star. In contrast to “Voices” (which was about 25 min), “Clouds” is a full featured movie running for about 90 minutes. And as expected when one works … Continue reading

Ghost in the Shell 2 – Innocence
I got the R1 DVD of “Ghost in the Shell 2 – Innocence” today (although it’s only supposed to be somewhen after christmas). Picture quality is (as expected) very good, there is no dub (which is good for an art … Continue reading

BECK (Mongolian Chop Squad) Manga
After watching and (in spite of the mediocre animation quality) enjoying the Beck anime — it is one of the few I watch as soon as I get them, I tried the manga by Harold Sakuishi. Now I can say … Continue reading

Appleseed Movie (2004)
The worst thing about it is the music. The story is a bit convoluted (as is Masumune Shirow’s original manga), but the artwork in this film is superb. The modelling and the texture work is awesome, in particular with respect … Continue reading

Samurai Champloo
I decided that I had to start one of the new anime series eventually, and thus watched the first five episodes of “Samurai Champloo”. It seems good fun, is rather bloody and foremost stylish. But that is also one of … Continue reading
