I was busy playing with kittens when y'all started tonight, and then I remembered that I hadn't yet watched Owarimonogatari, but now I'mma watch Horus!

I finished Horus. It was sort of underwhelming to me, although I suppose it's more significant what came out of it than the actual film itself.

Sorry, I missed last night. I had some sort of cold/flu virus and animes were the last things on my mind.

I have work tomorrow, so I'm going to start watching around 11:00PM EST. As always, feel free to watch whenever you want! Dororo  Osamu Tezuka created Dororo in order compete with Kamishibai; stories featuring goblins were very popular in 1969, and the fiercely competitive Tezuka decided to do one hell of a yokai story. Hyakkimaru's father sold his sons body to demons in order to gain control of all Japan; now Hyakkimaru must find and slay the 48 demons that hold his body. The manga has been adapted into an anime, a video game, and a live action movie. The anime is the first complete telling of the story; the manga was cancelled for being too dark for a shounen magazine. In a way that makes it the definitive Dororo, I think. I think this series is really notable for featuring talents that would go on to influence the artform in the coming decades; Osamu Dezaki (Aim for the Ace, Space Adventure Cobra, Ashita no Joe, Dear Brother, basically name any influential and genre-defining anime from the 70s and 80s and he probably directed it), Noboru Ishiguro (Macross, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Space Battleship Yamato), Yoshiyuki Tomino (Gundam, Gainer, lots of mecha), Ryosuke Takahashi (VOTOMS, Dougram, lots of mecha), and Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Ninja Scroll, Cyber City Oedo) all worked on this series. Dezaki directed Episode 1, and Tomino directed Episodes 2 and 3, which we'll be watching. The sound design and the music in this series are phenomenal and insanely haunting. Dororo also has one of my all time favorite OPs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbeKfC4ADFI Episode 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Krc9g8tFB18 Episode 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1pY3P7vjFE Episode 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7UXFk_Sw5c Episode 4 This series is licensed, but not yet released, so if you enjoy it I urge you to buy it when Discotek releases it!!! The Flying Phantom Ship The Flying Phantom Ship is a film about a boy and his dog, and a spooky ship piloted by a skeleton captain. It was the first anime to be brought to Russia, and Hayao Miyazaki did the key animation for a major sequence in the film. It was also the basis of the 2007 anime The Skull Man. I picked it because it's one of my favorite animated films of all time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKiu6XUNlfA GorfZaplen fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Oct 9, 2015 |

Dororo sounds super familiar, did someone make a PS2 game based on it or at least use the exact same story? It may or may not have also starred Gackt

That was a solid story told in an engaging way. I love the rippling water over animation effect. The show was obviously made on a shoestring budget, but they did cool, evocative stuff with it. On to 3!

Yes_Cantaloupe, I really liked how they did the photographs spliced into animation. I thought it made the demon mask look really intimidating in its context

Yes! And then it appeared on the kid. Creepy. It stood out in a really cool way. I like when Shaft does this kind of thing, and I like when this show does it, too.

And the mask being on the kid parallels the scene where the kids are beating the dog Such a good show

Our view is often through holes in things: rice paper walls and trees, that I recall. This probably means something.

I liked Horus, but something felt kind of off about it. Like the pacing felt weird? It was mostly in the beginning. By the way, if we ever run another old anime fest we really need to watch some Gegege no Kitaro.

Ichi having to take the bandage off to fight was contrived, but him doing it was still touching. That final slash scene was super neat. I think it was by far the most dynamic bit in the show, or at least in these three episodes.

Sabu and Ichi should kiss. This is a really neat show. I liked it significantly more than Horus.

It's weird because it reminds me less of anime and more of stuff like Kurasawa films with the shots and imagery the show uses and Bunraku puppetry with how the characters move and express themselves This old antiquated show is much more original and stylish than like 80% of shows out today

I really like the scene where Ichi is screaming and begging the random slasher not to make him kill her. I think a modern show would be too worried about looking cool to do something like that. I'm gushing about this show

Gonna give Sabu and Dororo a shot. What's the name of the sub group that did Dororo? Does it have a full release somewhere? I'm happy to buy the Discotek DVDs when they eventually come out but I'll be a bit disappointed if I can only watch the first few episodes.
