That's part of why I don't actually like recommending people watch "anime" as it is a very large umbrella term, like saying you like "live action TV" can mean a whole lot from Walking Dead to Brooklyn 99. I prefer to just rec certain series based on them being good, not just because they're anime, as there is loads and loads of crap out there.
Yup, part of that misconception of anime as a genre rather than a medium. Which I had for ages too.
always annoys me when people say 'I don't like anime' it is like saying 'I don't like music'.

Sigh your missing out on classics then, Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, Hellsing, Steamboy, Slayers, anything by Studio Ghibli, Legend was the Hentai (anime porn) which went mainstream, not very good either to be quite honest....Quote:

And to think Shirow wrote Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed and then went and wrote this as well :D
yeah there was a review of it in the Daily Telegraph of all places, so I thought it must be pretty mainstream. the review went on about how extreme it was but I thought, in the national newspaper, can't be that bad. watched it. pretty tedious really. poor animation, bad voicing, bad plot.Quote:

Cat Returns is my daughter's favourite, and one of mine. Was watching it with some friends, one of whom is a vet (so she loved it) and then when The Baron appeared she was "it's Westley!" and then when Haru said "I think I've got a bit of a crush on you, Barpn" she said "me too" lol :p
And though it's Studio Ghibli be careful with Grave of the Fireflies. It is an amazing, wonderful film but probably the saddest film I've ever seen.
And if the trailer's music is any indication When Marnie Was There will leave me a sobbing mess:
http://youtu.be/_Xjp1wAyz6M
yes, Grave of the Fireflies is the saddest thing you will ever see. I warned friends of mine they would cry when they watched it, they thought I was exaggerating. oh no...
It's worse when you think of how it's almost entirely a true story.
It's worse when you miss the first few minutes, so you surprised by the ending.
I've avoided that because of what you and others previously said. Not into tear jerkers. Especially when it's kids involved.Quote:

I actually highly recommend it. It's tough, tough watching, and you need to be in the right headspace but like (also semi-[auto]biographical) films such as The Pianist or Boys Don't Cry I feel it is totally worth it. I wouldn't call it a tearjerker, it's more a film about selfishness than anything.Quote:

I wish I'd seen it in theaters just for this [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd5MqjvhW9c"]scene[/URL]:
File it under the same heading as 'A Knights Tale' - films that have absolutely no right being as good as they actually turn out to be.....Quote:

Except that Battleship, contrary to A Knight's Tale, actually is humongously badQuote:

yup, a Knight's Tale is genius. I really enjoyed Battleship, and like you say, it shouldn't have been any good at all.
Tank girl is an underrated modern classic, though it's probably what twenty years old now the film, doh.Quote:

I just find it hard going.
When it works, it absolutely works - Akira for instance remains a favourite.
But so many just seem to have very lazy, emotionless and wooden dubbing - it ruins it. And not a fan of the 'you can tell they're angry, because they're head has enlarged' thing.
watch FLCL. only six episodes, so will only take two hours.

So taking the better half to see Final fantasy distant worlds saturday, which means I have free time in London,
Now I have a short list of places I should go but what do people think of them?
Natural history museum,
Science museum,
British museum,
Imperial war museum,
and possibly the national portrait gallery (apparently its across road from the British museum?).
Any suggestions?
Independent House, Marsh Wall, around 1 pm, so you can wave at me as I leave work to go home. And see my well snazzy car with all it's stickers!Quote:
