It's shaft man. if they don't need to draw something, they won't.
The desolate setting in Bake/Nise is intrntionally used to convey the self absorbtion of the characters and the isolation of the main narrative from the world at large. The characters, and their supernatural problems literally exist in their own world, one that overlaps but does not have any bearing on reality.

I don't have a problem with Oshii doing slapstick comedy, but I question if he is still capable of pulling that style off, given the direction of his career since Urusei Yatsura.
There is a calander?
Nurse never act like that and sometimes, I think she is just an illusion for costumers to have boners. She was wierd. And the production value was poor, because the style came off really cheap and ugly.
This too.
This was originally going to be a post with an image of the Hamburger Helper glove for no real reason but I decided to be a little more constructive

Confession: the only Oshii I've seen are the two GitS movies.
I'm so sorry!
anyway, it had good soundtrack at least. Well OP/ED song were quite good...
I loved Musashi and Sky Crawlers and I would reccomend those.
Most of his works are live actions which I not a big fan of but his animatoin ones are qiute good
Meh, GAF don't like most of his movies anyway, so you should be alright.

Let's have a Denki Groove appreciation page
They also had a song in Eureka 7 which is like 10 minutes long, anime-wise.

Nope. I've never seen 'em because I've never seen the series and I'm guessing the series is required material before delving into the movies. And AFAIK the series is a bit expensive. :-/
Yep, got Yellow because of that song and its one of my favourite Albums in 00's

Which GAF are we talking about here?
I think Oshii is the most talked about director in AnimeGAF these days, or at least a close second/third. Most of it positive too.
The collective mind of Anime -Gaf. Just reading that Sky Crawlers thread made me sad
and confsed
Fair enough. I just read that thread and assumed the worst. Never mind me then.

If anything too many people on GAF like his movies.
That's why we have you around.

Hey, it's hard to cultivate these really specific fetishes. Props to those people. I mean, what can be better than the tsundere character giving chocolate?
Do the books ever mention that them and their ordeals are removed in such the way? (Open question)

It's your fault for thinking AnoNatsu is a serious show!
By definition, you can't like "Asian" cinema and be weeaboo!Asian cinema website still sounds pretty weeaboo to me.
Now, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence did screen in competition at Cannes. That's pretty legitimate.
& lost to Fahrenheit 9/11. Fucking Cannes.
Oshii > anime!

You joke like that, but the way that Nisio Isin writes make me feel that he'd bend the story in whatever direction he wanted just for the sake of revelling in some trope.
I can believe it.

What's GAFs opinion on Angel's Egg, just wondering?

Yes, but is it actually a good discussion or is it just better-than-an-anime-podcast level?
What is this supposed to mean
I thought within the context of this thread I wouldn't have to append that I'm probably worse.
I click on all of culian's links in IRC

This is a well-founded, but inherently incorrect, statement. 0.00001% of them are excellent!

Exposition exposition exposition exposition. Somewhat-genki girl with friend problems. Gloomy bishie anti-hero. Perverted spike-haired dude. Love at first sight. Annoying cute mascot. Annoying bratty children. Coinkidinkies up the wazoo. This show is like a time machine to the early 2000s.
I wanna go back to the future.
I can smell the genericness coming out of the screen.

Why is Angel's Egg so impossible to find? Is it stuck in licensing limbo or something?
I tried searching for it a while back, under both names it seemed to have, and I couldn't track it down anywhere.

Yep. I think there's a Tokuma R2J DVD out there that isn't too hard to find though.

I don't think it's in limbo - more like no one wants to license it since it won't sell.
The Vision of Escalflowne 6-14
Man, this plot is moving at a breakneck speed. You'd think in a 26 episode series there might be a little R&R for the main characters from time to time, but nope! Political intrigue, mech fights and clairvoyance around the clock. I'm not complaining.
Speaking of clairvoyance, what is ultimately (to me) an annoying and rarely well put together plot device in any other series seems to be handled very well in this. And this whole
is really cool too. Maybe because they handle it like a two-way street: It's cool to see the future and predict people's actions, but it sucks to see horrible images of war and death. Usually it's either a curse the character complains about incessantly or it's a shallow "power" that one uses with no side-effects.

I can't imagine there's a lot of demand for Angel's Egg at present, or that there ever was.
That's not true.
