That was actually a comment about how Gotham Knight was on the other side of the spectrum!
Gotham Knight < Halo Legends < Animatrix.

Doesn't seem like a show that would go very well in the west. I mean already it loses a lot in translation.
Oooooooh.
Well I figured those would be running themes!
Not a bad thing on the last movie though the smith fight was sorta cool. Haven't seen the Animatrix either so I can't say.
Seeing as Acchi Kocchi got licensed, I think little shows like that have a chance.
Although the jokes in joshiraku are very japanese in nature and might get lost in translation. Acchi Kocchi is much more direct.
Oh, crikey - I've never seen Gotham Knight, so given that much of Halo Legends is pretty... well... I'd just assumed it was better!

The show is basically as Japanese you can get from Kanji puns to blatant nationalism I don't think it's one that will be licensed.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. The puns might just be too much to handle.

This show has been damn amusing, but the "So high" part made me actually crack up.

Halo Legends has Toei and BONES. Gotham Knight has.... stuff that made Madhouse and Kawajiri decide to pull all their names from the credits. Just saying!

I actually watched the first season of the show way back when. And then again when Kevin Smith decided to show up.
But if you look at his credits, he's been everywhere. You can't really avoid him here unless you just hate Canadian content. lol
Oh yeah? Please don't tell me it's just random shot/reverse shot sequences where people talk to each other about the horrors going on in the outside or something!
I dunno, you'll get a long take scene like this that popped up on GAF a while ago from 19-2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F32Ftjt5Io4The Canadian film and television industry is best ignored in my experience, but every once in a while it'll pop out a Cronenberg, so it ain't all bad. That even gives it a great track record for horror movies.
(It's the first time I heard of the show though, but that's because we just don't get French stuff here)
And as much as I bely the state of Canadian TV and barely watch any of it nowadays, the CBC is still churning out shows that people seem to watch so... hey, apparently someone likes this stuff. lol

Because American's (and others) can't handle our unique ability to steal ANN's bandwidth, here you go:
So, the Dynamite in the Brain Podcast recently did a pretty good episode on The Animatrix that you can find here. Listening to them reminiscene about this omnibus work makes me feel pretty old considering it came out way back in 2003.
Just for the sake of passing the time, could you rank the shorts in order most favourite to least favourite? Just to refresh your memory the shorts were (these details are probably wrong, lol ANN):
The Second Renaissance Parts 1 & 2
Director: Mahiro Maeda
Kid's Story
Director: Shinichiro Watanabe
Program
Director: Yoshiaki Kawajiri
World Record
Takeshi Koike in your face
Beyond
Director: Koji Morimoto
A Detective Story
Director: Shinichiro Watanabe
Matriculated
Director: Peter Chung
Final Flight of the Osiris
Director: Andy Jones
My rankings are as follows:
1. Beyond
2. Kid's Story
4. Program
5. World Record
3. The Second Renaissance Parts 1 & 2
6. Matriculated
7. A Detective Story
8. Final Flight of the Osiris
Beyond > Kid's Story > World Record > Second Renaissance > A Detective Story > Matriculated > Program >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Final Flight of the Osiris

A total nostalgia episode. And now instead of Heart of the Cards, you gotta feel the monster's feelings? That sounds even more stupid.

Beyond, the one we all like.
That's deep.
Ok put that one first, then World Record, then...who cares.

Well, it's not like I have anything against "telling", since I am a fan of drama and read plays from time to time and those are all writer heavy for a reason.
Another film that comes to mind is this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_from_Earth
It's basically a man who claims to be immortal confessing to his colleagues about his life living through human history, including the fact that he was, among other things, Jesus Christ. Most of the move take places in a cabin and there are no flashbacks or cuts or anything. It's literally just people in a room listening to a man tell a story.
The thing is that "telling" doesn't really work like that in film. Most of the time it's used for plot development, not character development (this is especially prevalent in science fiction/fantasy). There's also the expectations of film that change the nature of strong dramatic acting, especially since you can just do a close up of a person's face and have them physically show an emotion as opposed to requiring that they explain themselves like they would in a play.
I guess the most unfortunate thing is that I've never really seen a stage adaptation that has become a film, so I've never had the opportunity to compare the two approaches to the same text. I mean, I watched Rent more than a decade ago, but I have no desire to watch the film. Same with Les Mis actually. But I expect that there are trade-offs to both versions anyway.

It played forever in Toronto and I never bothered to see it. lol
You should be ashamed.
Even I watched it in Toronto, and I'm but an uncultured plebe.
The movie's score was worse, and the Phantom was too prettied up to really live up to his legend, but I think overall the flexibility of the camera made the story more broadly appealing than the static stage. I know my dad thinks so, since he told me after watching the movie for the first time that he never "got" the story when he saw it as a musical (and only focused on the music), but understood it much easier as a movie.
Also.
Princess Tutu > Swan Lake.

That would be pretty cool.
With HanaKana as Christine Daae and Kamiya as the Phantom.

Jokes on you all the songs will be done by Nano Ripe!
Edit: saw the edit, my post still applies!
Omigawa, you mean.
Auto-tuned Miku singing Christine's half of the duet.

There is no problem with Nano.ripe.

Actually... That needs to happen. I'd laugh so much if it did.

Whichever 4 waifus they ranked these scores don't fit.
Translated, that means "F".

You mean not enough moneybags!
You saw it at the Pantages? lol
And, I assume as a movie, they have to work harder at telling the story more than anything else. Of course, with musicals, there's a heightened reality anyway.
I kind of wish I could see a stage version of Glengarry Glen Ross just to compare it though, but that'll probably never happen. Probably the last no-musical stage adaptation that I've seen is Angels in America... and I don't even know how that would work on stage.
He's a Lord. And he's not quite dead yet
No-one should see the Rent film, because it's shit, and they filmed the last night on Broadway so you should watch that instead. But everyone should see the Les Mis film
so I continue to get paid
Is it time for me to repost the Utena musical? IT'S TIME FOR ME TO REPOST THE UTENA MUSICAL!
Sekai woooooooo kakumeiiiiiii~
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh~
Suru tame niiiiiiiii~
I lived in Toronto for a year or two and I saw it then. Although that was when I was what the scotts refer to as a "wee bairn", so I don't remember much. I saw it again much later on Broadway when I could actually appreciate it.
Boy is my face red.He's a Lord. And he's not quite dead yet
All I know about Les Mis I learned from Hark! A Vagrant
