Nearly a decade in production with not a single drop of CGI and over 100,000 hand drawn images to create. White knuckle soundtrack, psychedelic sci fi death race in outer space. Mother ******* Redline. **** . Is. Hype.

#15 to #12 - keligus (09/05/2015) [-]

It was ******* amazing. May the holy spirits of turbocharging and dorifto be with you.

I'm of the opinion that this is one of those things in life that everyone with the capability to do so should at least try to watch. You don't have to finish, but you should at least try it.

I've been a fan of the F&F series since the first one and still am but none of them come close to Redline. Go watch it if you havent, fantastic movie

I plan to watch Grave of the Fireflies for the first time tonight. On a scale of 1 to contemplate suicide, how bad is it going to make me feel?

#21 to #3 - zalda (09/05/2015) [-]

I understand it's based off true events, and yes it is a little saddening to see a little girl starve to death, but to be honest, it was just too slow for my preference.

#44 to #21 - OtisMcWonderful (09/05/2015) [-]

Yeah. It's definitely sad, and it's a bit slow at the beginning. But I think that's intentional. It feels like the happiness and freedom is brought to a screeching halt by death. Of course, the actual time span would have been a few weeks, but the movie crams it all into the last 20-30 minutes, making it seem faster when compared to the first hour of relative happiness.

I only have one real complaint. Seita's pride. The outcome could have been completely avoided if he had just gone back to live with his aunt. He completely ignored advice from the rice farmer to do so. Setsuko didn't have to die. Seita didn't have to die. He got both of them killed because of his spite for his aunt and his own pride. And the aunt's attitude was completely justified. A nation at war to that extent is going to ration supplies. When you take in extra people, your rations are just going to dwindle even faster. Seita would just play all day, even though he was capable of doing something to help, anything. But no, he'd rather run off anytime anything could use his help. I understand that keeping his sister happy and safe was important, but he could have also helped her by helping out with putting out fires or some **** to ensure that they would both still have a home. And yes, the aunt seems a bit greedy in taking half the rice gained from selling the kimonos, but you have to remember that they also belonged to her sister. You almost completely forget that there's a close relation there, so it seems like she's taking them specifically from Seita and Setsuko. I'd say it was somewhat fair for them to get half, especially considering that the aunt had 2 other people to feed compared to Seita only needing to feed Setsuko. It's like Seita thinks he's the only one suffering loss. **** , basically everyone in the story lost something or someone.

tl;dr
**** Seita. He killed his sister and himself.

#94 to #44 - vaalkyrie (09/05/2015) [-]

Interestingly, that's actually what the director wanted the message of the film to be. From a western perspective the film appears to solely suggest that war is hell for both sides-the Japanese committed atrocities beyond imagination, yet they similarly suffered, including the innocents of the war. The aunt appears to be portrayed as a cruel woman, casting her own family out to meet probable death. The intentions of the director however, while undoubtedly including this portrayal of suffering in war was also to suggest the importance of age and the folly of youth. Had Seita returned to his aunt it is likely neither he nor Setsuko would have died. So yeah, of course you are supposed to sympathise with Seita and Setsuko, but at the same time you are supposed to chide Seita for his youthful naive pride.
All in all one of my favourite films ever.

#85 to #44 - AnomynousUser ONLINE (09/05/2015) [-]

I think you're forgetting that he was 14, just had his mother die, and his father was part of the much revered military.

Do you think you were making the best decisions when you were that age?

#89 to #85 - OtisMcWonderful (09/05/2015) [-]

I'm well aware of his age. 14 year olds at that time were considered to be more mature compared to now and especially so in Imperial Japan. They were considered to be capable of working to help support the family.

He was in a military family. That normally provides at least some amount of discipline or drive. He should have helped out. As far as having his parents die, you'd think that would push him to make good decisions to prevent Setsuko and himself from dying, but he just doesn't. And he didn't find out about the surrender and his father's implied death until late into the story anyway. The only family death he knew of was his mother. He had family that was more than willing to take him in, and instead of helping out, he did **** all throughout the story and died.

How I was at 14 isn't even relevant. I didn't grow up in the 30s and 40s, nor did I grow up on the losing side of a major war. Environmental factors are at play here, not just age. I can say that I'm not dumb enough to turn away from assistance when it's being offered in exchange for something as simple as helping out with my community's survival a bit.

#90 to #89 - AnomynousUser ONLINE (09/05/2015) [-]

The thing is a 14 year old is still a 14 year old no matter what time it is. Emotions run peoples lives during those ages more than any other. Having his mother die just makes him more emotional, especially at that age, and having to sell one of the few things he has to remember her by is not an easy thing.

I brought up his father being part of the military because that would make him even more prideful of himself and his family. During such a confusing and emotional time in his life, swallowing his pride is much easier said than done. Yes, the logical thing to do would have been to stop thinking so emotionally and irresponsibly, but he was at a very illogical part in his life doing what he felt was right.

#49 to #3 - optimussum (09/05/2015) [-]

i didnt think it was that bad
you saw the end coming from a mile away

#77 to #3 - hirollin (09/05/2015) [-]

I... agree. It was a little slow. It's one of those movies that I felt I was supposed to like but didn't. It just wasn't that great. I guess maybe watch it by yourself late at night to get the full effect? Idk.

#47 to #3 - meganinja ONLINE (09/05/2015) [-]

Watch My Neighbor Totoro. The two movies were released as a double feature when they came out in Japanese theaters. it doesn't seem to have a plot, but it will make you feel a little better.

#46 to #27 - OtisMcWonderful (09/05/2015) [-]

I plan to eventually. This was my first Studio Ghibli movie, and I've got every other movie downloaded and ready to watch.

I don't often get in the mood to watch a movie, so I'm not sure when I'll get to it though.

#103 to #78 - broswagonist ONLINE (09/06/2015) [-]

If you like seeing the over powered anti-hero main character smack the **** out of conceited villains I do , it's great. Otherwise the pacing is crap to the point where very little of note has happened for a 12 episode series and on only one occasion has the CGI actually looked good.

If you like time travel, or at least the concept of messing with time lines then may I suggest Although its not a movie Steins gate.

A short but very good story about one mans struggle with time as he learns that Newtons 3rd law isn't to be ignored.

#74 to #29 - vorigan (09/05/2015) [-]

I haven't read the light novel, but both the manga and the film were great in my opinon. They were each different enough from the other to justify the adaptations.

#120 to #74 - schnackelfritze (09/06/2015) [-]

**schnackelfritze used "*roll picture*"**
**schnackelfritze rolled image**Well, in the Manga the girl got this massive Axe, which think is pretty badass :3

#121 to #120 - vorigan (09/06/2015) [-]

Yeah, but the guys weapon was a massive disappointment. Seriously, he went to that mechanic asking her to make him something similar to which she replies something along the lines of "I could make you a spear, or a sword, or anything really" And what does she do? Make him exactly the same ******* weapon.

#33 to #29 - anon (09/05/2015) [-]

Too bad that the manga is based off a light-novel, which Edge of Tomorrow was also based on.

I really think they could have done something wonderful by mentioning anywhere outside the end credits what the script was based on. The one time Cruise mentioned it, he never even said the title.

Angel's Egg was really great. You can watch it on youtube, as long as you're all right with reading a translation of the transcript here>> www.cultivatetwiddle.com/angelsegg/angelscript.txt[youtube movie="PgO9AzAFAX0"]
I actually really enjoyed just hearing the Japanese by itself, without subs. Since it's a viable option due to the minuscule amount of dialogue.

I recommend Madoka Magica. It's a great deconstruction of the magical girl genre. Give it three episodes before you judge it, though.
Also, the third movie is a nice mind **** .

Like Rocky but a ******** better?

Watch Hajime no Ippo wimpy little bitch faggot gets bullied to **** at school because all he does is help his single-mom work at their fishing boat and he smells like fish. He gets the **** kicked out of him under a bridge when a man from a local boxing gym, Takamura "God Among Men" Mamoru is out running. He asks what they're doing to the boy, and when they try to hit him, he effortlessly dodges everything they throw and socks the leader in the jaw, scaring them off. Ippo passes out and Takamura brings him back to the gym to use the medkit they have. Ippo thanks him and leaves, crying that he will never be able to repay someones kindness. Takamura, in an effort to cheer Ippo up, calls him a pussy. Realizing that was a bad idea, he draws the face of Ippo's bully on a piece of paper and tapes it to a punching bag, showing Ippo first how to throw a punch then telling him to try it to get out that aggression he refuses to show. Ippo finally lets all his anger and frustration about himself out and punches the bag, sending it flying off the ceiling. As it turns out, carrying all the fishing equipment every day has made Ippo strong as **** and perfectly built for boxing. Ippo leaves and is found on the same path the next day by Takamura, who says he'll train him to box if he can catch 10 falling leaves from the tree on the path by throwing a punch and catching them, with 1 weeks training. The next week, Takamura surprisingly finds Ippo about to pass out by tree, saying he was waiting. Ippo then catches all 10 falling leaves without letting any fall from his hand, which baffles Takamura, since he needed to use both arms while Ippo only used his left. He brings Ippo back to the gym and demands the owner, Mr Kamogawa, train him to box, saying he will be the Japanese Champion some day. And so Ippo's journey begins

More than anything it's a Slice of Life show. Ippo learns the values of humility, perseverance, and friendship, all while balancing his career as a boxer and taking care of his mother and the family business. He learns to go out and not be afraid of others, even if they are extremely scary and have arms longer than the Golden Gate Bridge with magical stretching powers (People who have watched it know exactly who I'm talking about) or their hot but super nice sister.

47/10, watch it. Without a doubt one of the greatest shows of all time inb4 read the manga we ******* know but everyone is way to ******* scrawny in it

74 episodes in the original series
24 episodes in the 9 years later continuation
24 episodes in the series after that
2 years of waiting for a new season of Ippo to fill the void that is now my mind

Anything by Studio Ghibli is pure gold.
Except Tales From Earthsea; that one was terrible. And Grave of the Fireflies was dumb; the little girl was far too annoying for me to be sad about the situation.
Also anything by Makoto Shinkai and Mamoru Hosoda is fantastic and are kind of like Ghibli films. Highly recommend those guys.

Howl's Moving Castle is best Ghibli.

Can I recommend Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust? Saw it recently, and I really liked it. Saw the first one too, but it was...outdated in pretty much everything. It's from 1985, while Bloodlust is from 2000. Bloodlust is definitely the better one.

On wikipedia it says that a cgi one is in pre-production. And there is a rumored live-action movie.
"Since 2009, Hideyuki Kikuchi is working on a live-action adaptation with one of the producers for Capcom's Resident Evil video game serie."

#62 to #61 - niclasd ONLINE (09/05/2015) [-]

Redline looks like it could be interesting. Does it have an English Dub?

#7 to #6 - anon (09/05/2015) [-]

Yeah. It's fairly solid, though I prefer the sub myself, a couple characters don't seem to match their voices.

#10 to #6 - emukae (09/05/2015) [-]

yeah and its ******* awesome, the animation and art is bliss

the only problem is there is no real plot, its all about racing, there are some vague backstories and **** but thats it

The dub is great. Especially Frisbee.

Ghost in the Shell is not actually part of the cyberpunk genre. It is in fact transhumanism.
Cyberpunk can be described as how even with all the technology humanity creates to make a better world, it does not change things for the better and people keep on being the same kind of people.
Transhumanism can be described as sort of a discourse on what makes a person human and what it means to be human. Is it better for people to change themselves with fantastical body modifications, such a mechanical limbs? Is that part of humanity's natural evolution? Or is it irrevocably making us shells of human beings? I really find the difference fascinating.
