Yes, I know what you mean about ...Thank you Roman.<br /><br />Yes, I know what you mean about Hisaishi. He's definitely Miyazaki's go to guy.<br /><br />A ha Roujin Z. Well, truth be told, I hadn't planned on it, but I will see if I can work that one in too. Thanks for the suggestion Roman. Sounds like it's worth adding to our inspection of Otomo's output as a writer.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-3145131500723039432015-02-10T21:47:46.372-05:002015-02-10T21:47:46.372-05:00Wow great coverage of a forgotten gem. I've on...Wow great coverage of a forgotten gem. I've only seen the last half of this collection, but man did it stay with me. For some reason it was nearly impossible to find when I started watching anime in earnest. Glad to hear a DVD release is finally coming out. This certainly deserves it.<br /><br />I did not know Hisaishi did the music. Not that I remember it too much, but you don't hear about his non-Miyazaki work too often,<br /><br />Glad to hear you are tackling Otomo this year. His work is certainly worth checking out. "Akira" for sure, but I'm curious to read your thoughts on "Rojin Z" one of the oddest anime features of its era. Roman J.

I wish I knew before taking all of these images but oh well.<br /><br />I really enjoyed Evangelion 1.11. A lot of fans didn't care much for it because it felt like mostly a rehash of the series. But I like the subtle differences and the alternate take of the animation from the series. It really worked for me.<br /><br />The second film really takes the franchise in a new direction. I wasn't sure I really liked it as much and yet most fans like it more. I have to give it another try and plan to once the third film is released if it ever gets released.<br /><br />Thanks for writing.<br /><br />SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-42556410841394003522015-02-10T13:20:54.369-05:002015-02-10T13:20:54.369-05:00Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree, and you did a great ...Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree, and you did a great job of reviewing it. You made me want to revisit my old VHS tape of Robot Carnival that I taped off the SF Channel many moons ago. Odd that it contains so many good shorts and so many of the now renown artist in anime, yet remains still fairly obscure. It's still one of my favorite anime, and perhaps, that's because it's one of the earlier anime films that seduced me to the medium. However, I also feel, it's because it's just done so well too.<br /><br />Oddly I've never thought to look for this on DVD. I hope if they release this it comes out on regular DVD as well, otherwise I'll have to pop for the blu-ray and wait until I get the player to watch it.<br /><br />By the way, recently I picked up the Evangelion 1.11 You Are Not Alone DVD. I really love the design to the whole disc. I'll probably eventually get 2.22 as well. They are good ones. El Voxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985563041511492981noreply@blogger.com
