Quote:I'd also suggest you see the S. Korean animated movie "My Beautiful Girl, Mari" if you haven't already. Wonderful movie.
I've seen it already. Excellent movie, indeed.
Quote:Millennium Actress is one of the better ones that I've seen in recent years.
Another good one you may not have heard of is Patlabor The Movie 1, which would be the first movie, it came out in '89, I think, but it's a great movie. It makes good use of the "ghost in the machine" theory, without being an action-fest or overly boring. One of my favorite anime movies definitely.
Quote:I mentioned Metropolis because Blade Runner borrowed a lot from that movie, aesthetically speaking. All futuristic movies owe a lot to Metropolis. Everything, actually.
Another good scifi that borrowed a lot from Metropolis is Dark City, which I saw a few days ago.
Quote: Yeah I've heard of that, haven't seen it though.
After you watch Kino's Journey, you may want to check it out. In fact, I've decided after telling you about that I want to see the rest of Texhnolyze, so I'm going to get another volume this weekend.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
