  • [Discussion] What one must-watch anime would you recommend to a newcomer to the medium?

    Jump

  • Your Name is always a good choice.

    It's a movie so newcomers don't need to invest a lot of time to finish it. It's visually stunning, the soundtrack sticks with you, the narrative starts simple but becomes increasingly complex and memorable. It fits into most age brackets and its not marketed toward one gender only.

    I think it's still widely available for streaming too so it should still be pretty accessible.

  • [DISC] What's your non-Ghibli standalone anime movie 3x3 or top 9?

    Jump

  • Here's mine. I kind of cheated with the last three though.

    I didn't particularly enjoy The Sky Crawlers as much compared to other films that I did not include in the list but I often use these type of threads to suggest works that aren't commonly suggested anyway. Sky Crawlers doesn't have the same meditative feeling you get from watching other Oshii Mamoru films but Oshii always had a very complex understanding of war and its relation to media and global politics (see Patlabor and the Kerberos Saga) which are often absent in many war-themed films.

    The next one, Genius Party, is a collection of short films. I don't think short films get enough discourse within the anime community but if you're looking for originality in anime this is often the place to go. There's one short there with a yapping salaryman and sitting through it makes me want to jump off the roof for fun but in the end I realized that's kind of the point. The life of a salaryman is mundane and boring. Thank god it was a short film.

    Last one is from Koji Yamamura. I actually didn't enjoy this one as much as his other short films like Atama Yama, Inaka Isha, and Muybridge's Strings but I think Dozens of Norths is the only one that could be classified as a feature length film.

    [Clip] [Major Spoilers!] Little Red Riding Hood (Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade)

    Jump

  • Finished Oshii Mamoru's Kerberos Movie Trilogy with Jin-Roh. It's the only animated film in the trilogy and it's a lot more serious than the other two films (they are all very good IMO).

    I was debating whether to submit a clip of Fuse being a killing machine or this one but I really liked the human emotions he displayed here that we never get to see in any part of the film and yet he still ultimately plays the role of the wolf.

  • Once upon a time in Nod-Krai

    Jump

  • I like how the anecdotes are just part of the world so you would be claiming your dailies from Katheryne and suddenly Varka shows up inquiring about his wine shipment.

    It would be so funny if Capitano would suddenly show up right next to you one day lol

  • Evangelion Accidentally Leaked Its New 30th Anniversary Anime – So Now It’s Releasing It for Free

    Jump

  • Really love what they made. Even if it's just 15 minutes long it's nice to revisit the alternate worlds of Eva, this included. Eva is timeless.

  • The big lie about the origin of manga | matttt - comic & manga history [18:31]

    Jump

  • In the video, it's framed that the world thinks manga is a "uniquely Japanese" thing but the video counters that by using Eike Exner's book on manga history.

    I did not finish the video yet (this is just the first minute or two) but I am going to guess that it's either the Meiji period or the American occupation having influence on how manga eventually developed to what we know today. This is the same argument used by theorists like Azuma Hiroki but he talks about otaku culture more broadly.

    Again, I did not finish it yet so...

  • [Solved] What is the easiest way to post / upload video clips to ani.social?

    Jump

  • I suggest uploading directly to ani.social but there's an upload limit of 25MB. If your file is bigger than 25MB, then you will have to re-encode it so it's smaller. Something like https://8mb.video/ will make it easy.

    Otherwise, you can use any external file host like https://catbox.moe/. I prefer if people upload directly to ani.social instead so we don't put too much load on others.

  • Matrix Space?

  • I've considered it before but I'm mostly concerned about moderation. I have set up and used a personal Matrix server in the past so it's something I can experiment with over the weekend.
