this movie is so fucking good. and the music is heavenly too
Animation and comics are totally wasted in the west, two entire artforms reduced down to kids entertainment nd adult cartoon sitcoms.
It sucked
Millennium Actress > Perfect Blue > Tokyo Grandfathers > Paprika
I thought Europe, and France in particular had a thriving comics industry.
The CCA basically neutered American comics from the get go
They're proud of the shittier ones too, so go figure.
Maybe they do but the only continental comics I can think of are asterix and obelix and tintin
>Animation

>Comics

Do you love Japan?
Anime is garbage

My favorite anime is Revue Starlight (movie), I implore everyone to watch it
I just think cartooning isn’t something that’s highly valued in Western culture. Really talented people rarely have interest in them.
I wonder what caused that to become the cultural norm though, I know for comics in the UK back in the 50's they had comics romance, crime and horror comics but then the government heavily censored them because 'think of the children' so all that was left was the Beano and American capeshit until the 80s but then the cultural norm had been set and it couldn't be undone
go back
I agree with animations but you are retarded if you think there aren't any serious comics around
peak kino
Comics in the west or i should probably say the Anglo west are an extremely niche medium and have next to no mainstream appeal despite comics based film and tv being so dominant.
