You making fan fiction now Woof? Going down a dark path here...
You guys just don't appreciate the art of Quentin Tarantino'ing.
Or perhaps you don't realize that your little joke isn't funny?
I call creative works pretentious when they're artistically appealing to look at, but nothing really happens that matches the visual presentation. Kind of like an abstract painting. "You can feel the emotion and writhing the painter went through and converted into this painting." It's just a bunch of paint swipes in random directions. :lol
Maybe contemporary is a more apt and less offensive description. :lol

Whoa. WHoa. WHOA!
I heard Marie sucked so i'm fine
T_T
Marie is great yo!
Though seriously, P4G the animation require P4 main story knowledge. You can understand the story, but in all honesty, P4G the animation is kinda meh, and the animation sucks. I enjoy watching it, but i won't recommend it to anyone.
This is all fine and dandy except it doesn't apply to Millennium Actress at all.
Can yall tell me what song this part is from at the timestamp?

Sounds sort of like the opposite of Millennium Actress to me.

And, unfortunately, Ergo Proxy.
edit:
This really doesn't like something pretentious whatsoever. First of all the painting itself can hardly be called pretentious but rather someone's interpretation of it. Secondly, would you call Shinkai's movies less pretentious if they looked worse?
Wat, this doesn't sound like Millennium Actress at all.
whaaaaat? That was the entire catalyst of the movie working as well as it does.
And also setting into motion the whole thing. Maybe the sidekick wasnt necessary but he was good comedy.
I used to think this but then how'd you pace the movie and get the same tone? Their running commentary is kinda important to how the film feels, when I think about it.

So now that I can appreciate allegory/thinking anime with my fine wine aging (confirmed with Kino's Journey) I wonder if I can go back and give a watch to texnholyze. I remember that being like that Daft Punk art house film where nobody said a world the whole film.
Well western countries are more accepting of violence media over sexual. If I had posted an image of something disgusting (say a certain scene from True Detective) then by all means. Sorry if it bothered you : I forget not everybody appreciates shit like this.
Not to mention that
Genya was secretly in puppy love with Chiyoko the whole time
I wouldn't even call Paprika pretentious. It doesn't seem as well liked as Kon's other work here, but personally it's a film I'm in love with. The way it seamlessly blends reality and dreams is mesmerizing. What I think makes it special is how it connects dreams to all sorts of other things, like cinema and the internet. It's just so interesting to think about!
Someone call up Mappa and tell them to make a Kickstarter. I need The Dreaming Machine in my life, right now!
I don't think one person in AnimeGAF has been banned for posting a natural body.

"Ultimately, despite serviceable animation and what is still clearly a classic story, MARCO never rises above mediocrity. From the moment the drippy English ballad starts playing (this time by Scottish songstress Sheena Easton), you know this is going to be one of those doleful mainstream melodramas of the sort Japanese live action is notorious for. In that regard, it doesn't disappoint."
I don't even.

That's fair enough, but that was a bit of a creepy post, too. It's not too unreasonable to forbid users from describing in great detail how they'd want characters to be murdered, is it?
First ep or two is like that before becoming a more traditional sort of show.

This idea of having the movie as total reflection of the actress own nostalgia always bugging my own curiosity.. having the first shot in the movie with TV running the actress career journey's documentary on guest room without no one watching with the retired actress shown on depth of field, sitting on garden.. and after that the flashback playing.
Maybe its gonna change the narrative of "someone that still remembered" but still the 4th wall breaking is my least favorite part in that super innovative flashback montage.
West != US of A.
Even conservative UK finds tits before the watershed ok unlike maiming.
Well I wouldnt either since I love all of Satoshi Kon's works but I mean if one HAS to be called that...
I dont think that would have quite the same creative impact as the way Kon did it. With the TV guys "reliving" her past life and movies through nostalgia it really brought the fantasy/reality twisting into play. It was Satoshi Kon's genius at work.
Now Im all upset. Fuck why did he have to go so soon
Fuck.

Well I'm speaking more of an international point of view of North and South America. I think heavy religion based cultures give more a free pass to violence over Sexuality in south America as well. Less social stigma. From a European perspective true though I would say Europe does like its sexy sex.
In this case it kind of works because the movie is in an older animation style to begin with.
And now Im listening to the soundtrack again. Probably one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever.

The way they got Sayo out of that mess was pretty ridiculous and funny. So was the other news girl when Maki was being ridiculous. Eno was quite cute in that flashback.

Susumu Hirasawa's a wonderful composer. A lot of the stuff he used on the Kon soundtracks were actually remixes of his solo work. I'm totally blanking out on which song this one was, but it was one!
Who cares, they're cute and the characters are awesome
Which is funny because in a thread about a Japanese medium, the USA is actually in the east.

In world maps you're in the center. Central world for all of yous.
Though to be fair there needs to be some consistency in the maps. For example when I was a kid living in SA we called the whole landmass America. Resulted in some confusion when I came here when they insisted the three divisions were separated as continents.
Now I learn this. Jesus can we get consistency?

So you are saying it's that Millennium Actress is like abstract painting.
Gotcha.
I have another theory of what it is really happening, but I will keep it for myself.
It has one in Japan, along with Satoshi Kon's other work! The only BD of his that we have in North America is Paprika.
I really hope that someone brings the rest of his work on BD over here. His stuff needs to be seen in the best quality possible!
If you live in the UK though, you can get Perfect Blue on BD. Lucky!

My life is a lie.

The world needs more fun maps
Well, yes. There's no real reason telling a simplistic story by making it so visually impressive, other than to impress viewers of his skills and fellate his ego.
Im...not sure if you are trolling or not here.
