Dreamland- feel free to stay

ok, first things first: this is a netflix-production, so the frames per second are not high
so sometimes it looks rather stiffly...
but after saying that lets get to the meat of it- because it has a rather good taste!

Ajin on AniDB

( Read more... )

so my overall verdict is give it a watch, it is interesting and the story is fascinating with its concepts, yes it could be better, but it could also be a lot worse
i enjoyed it (and i rewatched it twice so far) so you might give it a try as well

yesterday, i was researching... something, but then i got sucked into the fascinating hole of ice scating, and THEN i found this perl, and i absolutely had to share it with you, because it is hilarious, but it is also amazing and fascinating and if you like sailor moon, give it a watch:

sooo confession time
i am a huge mecha fan when it comes to anime, mechas belong to my all time favourite, they are just awesome and i adore them so, so much. as such it is a bit of a black point on my list that i never watched Neon Genesis Evangelion. a black point, i am happy to report i rectified last night.

on that: yes, i did binge watch all 26 episodes in one go, starting around 7pm ending around 3.30am - it was a glorious, glorious thing to do, and the perfect ending for my do- nothing-day where i just went to my grans for her birthday and then was taken back home and ignored my to do list and just had a nice time! glorious and i am so happy that i took this one day off, i needed it so, so much as rl is giving me loads of shits right now but totally holding back the giggles.

so with that out of the way my thoughts on neon genesis evangelion:

( spoilers if there is anyone like me was the day before yesterday left )

so i used my time to finally do something good for myself and watched an anime!

Kekkai Sensen (血界戦線) also known as Blood Blockade Battlefront which was released 2015 and it's amazing.
it is in the now usual flat-style but while the animation is quite usual the story and the characters are not. though yes, the banter, and some of the scenes are quite certainly a been there - done that kind of scene, it is still refreshing. and even better is that the anime doesn't even try to be like the manga.
i also like the deeper meaning and how the normal can stand up against despair. and then there are some of the animation tricks used, being just awesome: the blood, and the fighting, and the overall feeling to it was just WOW
and i also enjoyed the ending a lot, and that is not something that is easily said about most of the animes.
the story told also was very interesting and i watched it in one go (as much as i could with the night making me fall asleep).
it's a very amazing story, and very worth the watch.

but the best part that there is:
this october comes season 2!!! and i of course will be watching it!
lucky me, when i found it, when season two is already nearly done XD

sit back and enjoy the ride!
this one simply takes you on it for sure.
BUT first: you have to accept it is GRAPHIC VIOLENCE and there is a shitton of blood in it- good, well animated blood that has meaning and sometimes it doesnt. also it's a non-linare sorta but not really kind of story, but if you can accept that, and in fact enjoy animated blood (because the animation of the blood really tells you a lot about how good the anime will be and this one - oh boy this one has it all!
they used very different styles on animations- they really went out of their way to mix it up, and that just glued my eyes to the screen!
i also like the different body style- while one can already see the - what i call "beautiful, flat and mass-produced" style - think of Vampire Knight, Ouran High School Host Club, Uragiri Boku no name shitteru etc - they all have the same style of faces and bodies, that's the style i mean-
and kurozuka is not in that style which i really find refreshing!

first things first kurozuka is pretty much a love story- with all the drama and politics around them (well in fact it has some star wars kind of element to it.
the characters are amazing- not just the animation but their actual development is just fascinating
and kuro is really an amazing character to have his story told.
the end is not that surprising if you are familiar with japanese story-telling but the way you go there makes it worth for
and the richness of the animation!
also my most favorite and sadly long gone Shiozawa Kaneto is doing a great job just as usual! and i so admire his voice- he could talk all to me the time - though that might make me unable to do anything but you know being horny *blushes*

please give it a try- it deserves your attention!

so first you ought to know that Mardock Scramble or for you katakana loving people out there マルドゥック・スクランブル is an anime out of 3 1 hour long episodes produced from 2010 to 2012. so yes, its not that young anymore
but I just found it in April this year and was now finally taking time watching it- and because it was so cool, I think that not only it deserves a review but to be also watched by you!
as far as anime is concerned this one was pretty dark especially in the first 2 movies. be aware GRAPHIC VIOLENCE!
but if you do not mind, and are always searching a new nice psycho- sifi story animated then you should totally go ahead and watch it!
the character design is deep and profound and the animation is pretty well made but not the cheap all-we-produce-now-kind of style
so now we talked about the technical details lets talk about the story (without spoilers! at least I hope so)

the whole movie is about motive, action and consequence and how to survive with nothing but your own survival instinct! and its not only the main character but also the others, either by living with there hunted past or trying to find a place in this world, its also about revenge- but I would say, I covered that with consequence of actions done
at the beginning everything is unclear and certainly not what one would expect, but hang on, it gets only better from there!
what I really liked about this anime was that not everything was good, that the main character was not a born ready to be a hero, and that most of the conversations made me think a lot. that some pretty serious math- principals were used were fun too
what I didn't like: its way to short, there many questions not answered - but than again this could be interpreted as a sign of how life goes one will never know all the answers

it's an movie from the year 1981- its much older than myself *little shocked*- but its one of the most cute things I've ever seen
the animation level, giving the age is amazing, and some ideas I've seen there for the first time, and are even now new
sometimes I#ve seen things that reminded me of gake no ue no ponyo but I do not mean to say that they are very similar, its just sometimes there was a feeling like: ah in ponyo something like that was too, but it was different (since both stories are reaallly different)
sirius no densetsu is a anime for children, but you may also enjoy it, if you like music, because it was done by the NHK Symphony Orchestra and its very amazing and makes the anime enjoyable
if you do not like animes with little text and conversation this may not fit your taste XD

I liked it and enjoyed it BIG time because it was funny, a little sad, and the music was just amazing good movie !!!
