you ever just wanna post but dunno what to post about
anyway here's some unsolicited positive anime movie opinions
Liz and the Blue BirdThere's one scene right near the start where a character is going up a flight of stairs and kinda spins their heel as they do a 180 to the next set & it makes a nice floor noise. I think about that scene a lot. I've never noticed the foley as much as i have in this film.
I read the director had briefly considered a k-on movie where yui tries to thread a needle for a couple of hours and i'd watch that also.
Penguin HighwayFun adventure romp about the scientific method. The main kid felt like a Haruki Murakami protag. They were v positive and upbeat all through the movie & i wanted to root for them.
Maquia: When the Promised Flower BloomsLovely movie about time and motherhood with well-executed time skips. I was impressed at the world design, you only get little glimpses of each town but they're full of atmosphere and evocative aesthetic touches.
Lu Over the WallThe segue into the opening is wonderful. The character designs and animations are always fun and bouncy.
The Night Is Short, Walk On GirlSharing the set of characters with Tatami Galaxy is a cute decision, playing on the familiar character roles of familiar characters if you've watched the latter. I enjoyed that each act seemed rather distinct at first but everything slowly builds up and collides with each other.
Time of EveI appreciate this director's style with the cg environments and 3d camera, which come together to give the cafe a real sense of place & character. The cafe is cozy and friendly and I want to hang out there. The
music when they enter the cafe is extremely powerful to the point in which only fan-extended versions of it seem to exist on youtube. Probably my fave animovie??
Patema InvertedThe concept is rad and the gravity scenes give me butterflies in my stomach. Wanna make a co-op platformer where you hold hands in different gravities.
Howl's Moving CastleMy fave ghimbli movie, I adore everybody moving into the castle and becoming cool flatmates and I think it would make a v watchable sitcom. I wrote some episode synopses that are probably entertaining for only me but i can post them if anyone want's
When Marnie Was ThereThis is also my fave ghrumbli movie and I really resonate with Anna. The credits song makes me cry.
