Evangelion is a series I've never dived into. I actually have one of the films, but never watched it! I need to dive into it at some point. As of right now, I'm exploring Cowboy Bebop!

By the way, have you seen Evangelion?

Great poi...Re-post to fix a spelling error.<br />-------<br />Great point about the Rintaro component.<br /><br />And yes, I saw all of the Blade Runner-esque aspects to The Running Man as well.<br /><br />As you know I'm on a complete anime writing mission at the moment myself.<br /><br />Like you, I have Ninja Scroll upcoming. Let's see who posts up their review first. HA!<br /><br />Just kidding, I'm so slow you will probably win, but I am writing one as well. Akira too. <br /><br />The Film Connoisseur and The Sci-Fi Fanatic ride again! It's like thunder and lightning. <br /><br />Take care pal.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-31611955386776789172015-04-14T11:08:18.029-07:002015-04-14T11:08:18.029-07:00Yeah, me too, I'd love to have this on blueray...Yeah, me too, I'd love to have this on blueray..the dvd is selling for about 40 dollars! But I'm sure at some point it will get released...<br /><br />But the film itself, damn, I loved it. Every second of it..Rintaro's part is beyond amazing, the colors, but specially the mood, the atmosphere...the mixture between sight and sound...want to see it again. But what impressed me the most was how it captured the experience of being a child, and seeing things in that scary, frightening sort of way. <br /><br />The Running Man...loved it because it's so dark, so sci-fi and so Blade Runnerish. I mean, Blade Runner was an obvious inspiration here. I'll be reviewing Ninja Scroll soon as well because it just so happens that I screened it a while back and re-experienced it and it blew me away again. Same goes for Akira which will be getting an write up....I guess I'm on an anime kick! <br /><br />Thanks for suggesting these two though, Neo Tokyo and Robot Carnival were a real treat, and two films that I'd been missing out on.

Rintaro, too, is a beautiful animator.<br /><br />Anyway, yes, getting tough to find but a great one to own.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.com
