The Anime Thread: Finding Good Anime

[ClodBuster]

Giorgio is ace on Daft Punk's Random Access Memories album.

And on a serious note, I found Grave of the fireflies alright for what it is. When I saw it, I was expecting something like the usual Ghibli stories where they mix fantasy with real life, happiness, friendship and such things. Turned out I was wrong.

I think it is a good way to make aware of the suffering and hardship of victims of war.

I just wouldn't watch it another time. It didn't made a psychological wreck out of me, but somehow back then I was hoping for a happy end for both protagonists that SPOILER ALERT eventually didn't happen.

Ha! I didn't know Moroder collaborated with Daft Punk.

Anyway, Grave of the Fireflies remains just as powerful now as when I first saw it over 20 years ago. Very few films have that effect.

Anyway, let's talk about MD GEIST.

MD Geist is perfectly fine as it is.

His face and hairstyle in the opening sequence reminds me of my father's in the late 80s. So that's bonus points.

MD Geist was pretty cool back then. Was the directors cut any different than the original?

[ClodBuster]

I don't really know, since all we got in Germany was the director's cut anyway, which as far as I heard from somewhere (maybe Colonydrop?) fixed some logical errors in the storytelling.

I have only seen the original NA release. I didn't even know there was a director's cut.

I STILL SING "Dangerous...Most Dangerous..." to myself when I am preparing for something stressful....it has been stuck in my head, and it's not going to leave, apparently.

I've not seen MD GEIST, I take it that I should?

if you don't mind the 80's hairstyles and music... story wise its ok... action is ok... to me its more of a memory of my childhood... the violence was up there in the ova.. at that time that is .. its more of an anime that you would watch while your eating lunch... to keep you occupied

if anything maybe watch patlabor... dominion tank polce.. dirty pair... black magic-66.. madox-01 and appleseed... those i think better represent that era of anime.. and I'm pretty sure there are plenty more to add to that

It's light-hearted fun. Popcorn.

Enjoy the gratuitous violence.

Also, I love the catchy theme song. 

MADDOX, as datbuttaface pointed out, is superior.

But MD Geist is brainless fun.

For the uninitiated, here is the theme song:

Don't worry, you can sing along to "Dangerous...Most Dangerous" in the chorus...
