this was a collection on criterion i enjoyed a lot. the highlight for me was ken which is a great look into clashing ideoligies of old and new japan. also smaurai movies are just cool
ive been on hideaki ano binge lately watching his old live action work and its fun seeing him translate his skills from 2D to live action and how his visuals and i guess "vibe" are still evident.
it's a bit slow, so i feel like i have to give it another rewatch but i don't really mind.
i highly recommend the works of Masaaki Yuasa. specifically: The Night Is Short Walk On Girl, Mind Game, and Inu-Oh. super unique, whimsy animation style. always something fresh and unlike anything you’ve seen before. cute slice of life stories with really creative ideas to take them to the next level. love ya!
got nothing to do? go see a movie at noon. cheaper prices, less crowded, and sometimes they show some old stuff that you might not have had the chance to see in theatre
