Quote:Really? Directly descended from Akira? (no anime jokes please)
No, I'm pretty sure he's not related to Akira.
Quote:I don't generally trust anime either, though there's certain anime movies I want to see, such as Grave of the Fireflies.
With TV series, anime is very hit and miss [and mostly miss], but anime movies are generally much higher in quality. You've got directors like Mamoru Oshii, Satoshi Kon [now deceased unfortunately], Makoto Shinkai, Isao Takahata [when he can be bothered to make a new movie], Katsuhiro Otomo, Kenji Kamiyama [although he's more of TV director], Hideko Anno, Akiyuki Shinbo [another TV director and also a bit hit and miss at times], and Ryutaro Nakamura [also a TV director, but a good one] who have done pretty good work in anime over the past 10-15 years.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
