I agree that paprika's plot/characters are not as strong as other kon work, but the visuals

That does look pretty cool!
I know I've seen Millenium Actress, but up until seeing it in the countdown here I had no memory of doing so, and it remains a very faint and hazy sense of deja vu. When did I see it? Why? What was it about? I have only the faintest notions. There's something kind of off-putting, to me, about Kon's (or Studio Madhouse's?) animation style... the character designs have this sort of wooden, distant quality. It's maybe an intentional effect, fitting the themes of the story, or maybe they're going for realism and my eyes, accustomed to very stylized anime, don't really process it as such?

while i accept these results, i also recognize in reality that "the incredibles" is not actually one of the 10 best animated films

fits in pretty well with the theme of the movie probably, or at least in the general themes of satoshi kon? haha

Maybe MNT should just be renamed CATBUS? It seems to be what's swinging it. Though Totoro itself is also cool, obv.

millennium actress is really good & sorta uniquely lyrical i think?, i am maybe not qualified to say 'uniquely' because i am not great with japanese film or with modern animated cinema, but i feel like it imbues some fairly standard settings & scenarios with a weird emotional pitch. which you can say about miyazaki too, right. like kiki's delivery service is such a reassuringly depression-permeated kids movie.
toroto is so lovely.

I don't think so, but I've only seen it once, in HS.
― sunn o))) dude (Leee), Tuesday, 15 January 2013 17:18 (eleven years ago) link
Actually in school? I wouldn't have thought that an ideal environment tbh, there's a lot of lovely (and eerie) quiet moments in the film.
Disclaimer: I have never watched a film in school, and would assume that it gets a little rowdy, particularly if there's arm-disintegration and laser bikes.
― Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 17:25 (eleven years ago) link
On the other hand I've never seen The Iron Giant, so wtf do I know about anything.
Common theme of these films: I expected them a lot higher.
― Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 17:26 (eleven years ago) link
Iron Giant is amazing thru and thru (SUPERMAN)Akira is still great animation and among the all time great soundtracks but the story is rushed and a lil boring

the manga is apparently ~2000 pages so

― (panda) (gun) (wrapped gift) (silby)
Yeah, I've read it. It has way more scope and detail, and the big event at the climax of the movie occurs about halfway through. Highly recommended.

I'd say it's the best manga I've ever read, but thinking about it it's the only one I've read all of the way through.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Wednesday, 16 January 2013 01:49 (eleven years ago) link
i'm very familiar with akira as manga; i own about eighty percent of it! I like otomo but the plot is harried and the ideas are a bit cliche by now.
― an old penis drawing is now "new and notable" (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 16 January 2013 02:02 (eleven years ago) link
the second half of the film Akira is a mess plotwise, have always meant to read the manga but never managed to get round to it (its always been hella expensive!)
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Wednesday, 16 January 2013 02:04 (eleven years ago) link
The manga is great, especially with the freqeuent 70+ page climaxes. Extraordinarily different from the movie.
― Magic Miike (R Baez), Wednesday, 16 January 2013 02:06 (eleven years ago) link
Akira manga confounded me. Saw the film as a HSer for clarity sake.
― sunn o))) dude (Leee), Wednesday, 16 January 2013 02:07 (eleven years ago) link
toy scene in akira remains one of the scariest scenes of all time.

This can't be emphasised enough.

Love Up, but it ranking higher than either of the Brad Bird's is weird.

Agreed times a million.

Belleville is idk, v impressive stylistically but I didn't really get on with the characters. Champion is just a cipher and the triplets are frankly terrifying.
― ledge, Thursday, 17 January 2013 09:12 (eleven years ago) link
Am more than happy with Up ranking above Ratatouille and The Incredibles.
― ledge, Thursday, 17 January 2013 09:21 (eleven years ago) link
Myself also, it just seems odd that any of them are ranking above either of the Toy Storys.
