They're not making the Rebuild movies. That's Anno's studio, khara. The last worthwhile thing they made was Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt back in 2010.

if you're just looking for animated anthology films/projects, anime is littered with tons of them. Robot Carnival, Neotokyo, Memories, Genius Party, Genius Party Beyond, Short Peace, Sweat Punch, Digital Juice, Amazing Nuts!, Japan Animator Expo, and the sadly inaccessible Toruru's Adventure. You also have a couple tv anime options with spinning director's chairs, like Space Dandy (mostly good) and 18if (mostly bad).

The man only knows one type of story: Bleak poo poo where if you try to be optimistic, you will get your poo poo kicked in, everyone you love will die, and you're likely to lose your loving mind in the meantime. aka: He writes like the kind of loving goons who thought Flynn should've died.

If we're talking animated anthologies, I want to say that the Diana segment of Garfield's 9 Lives still makes me, a 30 year-old woman, cry.

Nude posted:Oh ya I really liked that as well. My favorite being the runner short. I would be totally down for more animated anthology/collage movies. The Prophet is interesting and one of the first time I seen a newgrounds-style collab done, like, in theaters. Here is a trailer for anyone who is a little curious, it does a good job just showing the variety of different animation styles. A version of the Prophet that edited out the framing device would be super dope, but as is the movie is merely dope

Didn't Madoka end up OK? If you don't watch the movies, at least. I just thought they could make a suitably weirdass n-dimensional horror realm.

Madoka's script is okay but the thing that actually makes it remarkable are the visuals, and that's mostly down to the studio rather than Urobuchi. The only thing that's really good because of his writing is the first season of Psycho-Pass, and I'm pretty comfortable writing that off as a fluke at this point.

Beachcomber posted:I just figured they knew robots and daddy issues. Yeah, it's mainly visuals - so you'd want the studio that did Madoka, but someone else to do the writing. His other works are of the same bleak, depressing, and actively shits on people trying to do good - Saya no Uta where your choice is get rid of the one person your viewpoint character loves or go stark-raving mad, Madoka: Rebellion ends with Homura purposely undo everything Madoka did just to keep her locked up in a cage, Fate/Zero Anime was so bleak (and made Kiritsugu the Worst Person Ever) that Fate/GO basically created an Event to actually give someone a happy ending in that mess.

Speaking of Shaft, last year "Fireworks, Should We See it from the Side or the Bottom?" made it to my local cinema. It's not bad as far as these things go. Very similar to Your Name in that it's a teen romance with time travel shenanigans, but the romance aspect is better handled, actually being somewhat realistic by anime standards since they acknowledge it's just a brief fling rather than "true love". The side characters making stupid anime boob jokes prevent me from endorsing it fully though, and it's a bit cheaper looking than Your Name (more visually interesting and creative though).

I mean, I didn't really like Rebellion either but I feel like you sort of missed the point. Basically Rebellion is a coda to answer the question of "wait, what, isn't Homura gonna still be all hosed up over the situation since she still remembers everything" and the answer is "YES SHE ABSOLUTELY IS, WHAT THE CHRIST WERE YOU EXPECTING." Also, uh, trap sprung by pointing out that you've played Saya no Uta. that's not really a game you should talk about on SA. e: also wait, what, how the gently caress do you figure that the Fate/zero anime made Kiri the worst person ever  like, I can't even argue against that yet because I have no clue where in God's name you're coming from on it

I saw Wrinkles. It was amazing. It’s not for the faint of heart though. I’ve been on a project of using DVD Netflix to see all the indie and foreign animated films I can. So far it’s been like eating a home-cooked meal after years of nothing but Subway. American commercial animation is...pretty bad. Even when it’s good it’s bad. It’s really depressing that the culture of animation in America is permanently infantilized, and I say this as a person who loves kids’/family movies.

Have you gotten into watching short films? There is a breadth of refreshingly really good films there. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an easy way to get a dvd of them. The way I do it is just go through the Oscar Nominated Animation Short list and search for them, 9 times out of 10 the author has posted it online. Although admittedly that might be too tedious.

Today's film is The Painting (2011). Edit: It's really cool. It reminds me a little bit of Twice Upon a Time in its art direction. It's 2.5D but highly effective at presenting a fully painted world. The story is good and has neat religious overtones. It's a little corny in places but so much of it is interesting and good that it's worth a watch.

I mean, for gently caress's sake, we had a whole anime boom for a solid decade-and-a-half, and it's coming back around for a second go nowadays after a few years of nobody giving a poo poo. Sausage Party literally made almost 10x its budget despite being a huge pile of poo poo. and yet it's like everyone just really, really hates the idea of making money and refuses to capitalize on any of this. e: I kind of feel like Netflix is trying to backdoor it in with some of their anime selection- between Devilman Crybaby, BLAME and Violet Evergarden they've been funding a pretty decent amount of artsy stuff. I'm not entirely sure if that's gonna change the problem I'm seeing, though, because it seems like everyone kind of actively refuses to engage with Devilman on a serious level, and the other two are obscure.

Otherwise, most of the "adult animation" I've seen come out of North America is basically comedy, so... yeah, not a whole lot of super-serious stuff.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:I don't really know why semi-serious adult animation just refuses to take off here. - all animation is perceived as being "for children" - there aren't very many adults who are interested in animation in the first place - what few adult "animation fans" there are, are mostly fans of animation for children It kind of makes me think about "literary fiction," which is what they call highbrow novels written for adults now. The number of people who read literary fiction is vanishingly small in the market sense, and the cost to produce them is much lower than for animated films. Now imagine the animated film equivalent and it's no surprise that nobody will want to fund that kind of thing, no theatres will want to run it, and almost nobody will want to see it. Winning awards is nice and everything, but animation awards are a ghetto and they don't really affect ticket sales. It goes beyond animation into the systemic problem of American film culture. It's really hard to get medium-budget films funded now. It's either blockbuster Disney-owned IP "cinematic universes", or television/streaming. Television has certainly gotten great! But the economics of TV animation are obviously different from feature-length animation. Independent films seem to be doing relatively well via paid VOD and streaming deals (along with the old reliable arthouse and festival circuits), and I'd guess that that's because the production platform costs have dropped to almost zero. Digital video, NLE software, AfterEffects, etc. mean it's possible for a small band of people to bootstrap something feature-length of very high quality. That still isn't possible for animation. I feel weird describing myself as a "fan of animation" because it's like saying you're a "fan of music". On some level anyone can appreciate the technical skill that goes into a commercial production, but I'm less and less interested in technical skill. It's like Top 40 vs. punk or indie or acoustic folk. Labels throw zillions into producing hits, and some charting artists are clearly good! Some hit songs are great! But if I want to actually feel something, that's not what I listen to.

stuff for adults does get made, though and when it does manage to crack the mainstream temporarily, it loving prints money. and yet, for some reason, it never becomes a trend. nobody looks at Ninja Scroll and Ghost in the Shell basically singlehandedly keeping Manga Entertainment in business and Castlevania doing crazy well on Netflix, and goes "hmm, maybe there's an audience for animated action stuff." nobody looks at Sausage Party managing to make its budget back almost tenfold and Rick and Morty having a crazy huge rabid fanbase and goes "hmm, maybe there's an audience for adult comedy in animation." it's like they actively ignore it when these things do well. literary fiction would only be comparable if there was a massive horde of starved intellectuals coming out of the woodwork whenever a publisher puts a literary fiction novel out. e: like, loving christ, Sausage Party alone should have honestly changed this. it was a very bad movie, but it also literally made ten times its budget solely off the novelty of it being R-rated. you'd think some of the animation studios would be looking at this, imagining the results of making an R-rated animated movie that's actually good and high-effort, and seeing massive loving dollar signs.

You left out The Simpson’s (surprisingly still as popular as ever), all of Adult Swim and the fact that kids shows get a ton of adult followers by just winking at the adult demographic from time to time. Grown ups like them some cartoons.
