Le Communard Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) You'd be mad to compare Ryvius to Geass (Planetes still pending) The problem with Ryvius for me was that the characters were a bit meh. And pacing was, as you say an issue. Alot of the plots secret revelations were shoulder shrugging boring. *Wheeze* Neya, I am your father~ *Wheeze* for me was: Yeah, so? Who are you again? Mad? There is a clear thematic continuity in terms of political issues, especially in terms of power dynamics--especially in the confused nature of conflicting structures of social organization. And Izumi is a fascinating proto-Lelouch*, just to talk about the most basic comparisons. There's a significant thematic interplay between the two, even if it isn't necessarily obvious on the surface--Goro Taniguichi is a director who has a set of things he really likes to explore, and hits similar notes in all his productions. Not that there's anything wrong with that: Hayao Myazaki makes the same movie every time and he's the most beloved director of animation in the entire world. As for the plot revelations, I don't disagree. The characters had potential but none of them really panned out perfectly, unlike in his later projects. As I said, it seems like a warm-up act. *Not to mention Koji as a completely unlikeable Suzaku.

Esau of Isaac Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Not that there's anything wrong with that: Hayao Myazaki makes the same movie every time and he's the most beloved director of animation in the entire world. He's also an old psychotic technology-hating son of a bitch. Love his movies, but the more I hear about him the more out of touch I think he is with the world.

Hatchet Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 hmmm... Samurai champloo is my favorite anime. It's very interesting if you have a special affinity for "Edo Period Japan".... its too awesome to describe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love his movies, but the more I hear about him the more out of touch I think he is with the world. I'd describe him more as "odd" than psychotic or anything. Thats what makes his vision so compelling--its so different, you can't help but be dragged along for the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau of Isaac Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Yeah, his animated visions. I love every single one of his films, and I think I've seen every major release he's ever been a part of. Reading his direct person-to-person statements in text, however, is like listening to Alan Moore after you just got back satisfied from watching The Watchmen in theaters.

Reading his direct person-to-person statements in text, however, is like listening to Alan Moore after you just got back satisfied from watching The Watchmen in theaters. See, I think Alan Moore is fascinating, so now I see where our disagreement is. One should never be comfortable with genius--that is the nature of the beast.

Esau of Isaac Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I'm not uncomfortable with his genius, I'm more uncomfortable with his needless aggression and refusal to look at a changing landscape. I think he's fascinating, but probably for different reasons than yourself. :V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ein Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) Ah yes I've been watching My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute! and I like.

Narga_Rocks Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Is that like the first anime stated in this thread that both you and RF enjoyed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Is that like the first anime stated in this thread that both you and RF enjoyed? Technically no, since Inui has not watched it yet aside from a few minutes of the eleventh episode. There's also Ore no Imouto, which has pissed me off a lot but I have also found very enjoyable at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Well, so long as you bring up anime with connotations of sexual taboos, I'm sure Inui would enjoy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
