Wasn't there a movie section once, on this board?

If the trailer doesn't grab you, it's not for you. If it is for you, after seeing that trailer you're already making plans.

man, I don't like that shot at American animation studios in the trailer. All the American animation studios have abandoned 2D animation, and there's no way you can compare say, a pixar film with paprika

Cell-drawn animations really are a thing of the past, CG incorporation is getting more seamless as they years progress. Like compare this movie to Akira if you want or Macross X. Sure it still looks layered, but c'mon man shattering glass buildings are really a pain to draw and color frame by frame.

Got great rip of this the other day and am totally gonna egg it up while I watch this with some sushi et al, looks pretty epic.

I liked the quote as a one-liner, but the content is definitely debatable.

you can't compare cg to anime. That's like comparing a photographer to a painter. I've heard great things about this movie and i wanna catch it at tinsel town soon.

I like how the art form is being pushed as creatively as possible. The japanese really know how to go over board with stuff and it looks visually and creatively stunning. not to mention wierd. Like how american and japanese horror films differ in style, so do their cartoons. And I'm really looking forward to seeing this radical anime.

apparently it's about a machine that allows people to enter dreams, but duplicates are sold to the general public which causes problems. that's a wicked movie premise, anime aside.

^Yup. Yup.
On many points.

This flick _deserves_ to be seen on a large cinema screen.

There is SO MUCH detail going on, that, it'd just get lost on a computer/tv screen.

The show is a total mind-fuck!

But, in an exhilerating way.

This movie really pushes the boundaries of story, story-telling, and animated imagery.
Unlike what is coming out of LaLaLand.
The show does a brilliant effort of seamlessly blending the cell/flash and cgi animations, effectively using both to the best of their natures.


If you liked the imagery in "Spirited Away", then, make the move and go see this one in the cinema.

Uh...wouldn't advise any psychedelic substances for this...

The movie was totally dope! Great story and fantastic visuals... But yea, not recommended if you're on anything trippy...

I will definitely be buying it when it comes out on DVD... :)
