The Thing? I assume you aren't talking about Carpentar's film?
I think Akira and any other Otomo projects should be fine for this thread. Steamboy does kind of veer into the kid/family territory like Miyazaki (I'm just a bit wary of more conventional stuff flooding the artier stuff). Ralph Bakshi might have to be squeezed in this thread too.
Fear(s) Of The Dark had some good stuff but I'm lukewarm about the film in general.
I saw Wings of Honneamise when I was something like 11 or 12 and it flew in the face of what I wanted at the time. Apart from the chase scene and the fight where he barfs on someone's face, it is a very very quiet film. In retrospect it seems a lot more interesting, I can still remember the low key mood of it.
Redline is a bit different, but I thought it was a mistake to have the film so story orientated. I think they should have cut the story and just kept more crazy race stuff. Now that I think about it, I was just like Wacky Races, but not quite enough.
Secret Adventures Of Tom Thumb seems like an obvious one for this thread too. It's quite depressing though.
BELLADONNA OF SADNESS A Japanese classic that still hasn't had a proper western dvd release yet. It has very little in common with most anime, it has a sort of 70s psychedelic fashion illustration look with thin lines and watercolours. Kind of feminist fable of a once ordinary woman in medieval times who becomes empowered and oppressed at various points in the story but eventually becomes a martyr for womankind. Some really graphic stuff in there. There was quite a few bits I didn't understand the message but I'd recommend it a lot.

Didn't realise Mushishi was back, that's great news.
I generally preferred Oshii's earlier films (Beautiful Dreamer, Angel's Egg, Patlabor 2) to his post-GitS stuff. Jin-Roh: the Wolf Brigade (which he wrote, but didn't direct) was excellent, though.
Dreamer has an awesome moment when the characters board a harrier and see their city closed off on the back of a giant turtle; that's tied with the "Unnatural City" sequence as the best Oshii sequence

Noodle Vague- I'd prefer you disagreed with me in detail. I said I enjoyed many Disney films and Pixar films are generally good, so unless you work on Family guy(which just like many sitcoms, I still find a quarter of the jokes funny enough) or some associated cartoon, I don't know why you are offended. Surely not by my belief that animation has been neglected as a powerful expressive medium?
Maybe you are a 3d animator? I'm willing to be proved wrong about the possibilities of that style but from what I have seen so far, I think the strength of cgi is for rich colour and more abstract things, but I've always found character animation to be lacking. But I've been moved all the same by Pixar films. I said I'm not completely against uniformity in animation because Simpson's, Futurama and South Park at their best work just fine. I just think it's sad that the medium isn't really associated much with ambitious animation techniques.
I hesitated before creating the title because I don't find offending people constructive but since the word "snob" was jokingly in the title (who honestly calls themself a snob?), I thought it would be obvious that I wasn't being an elitist drawing a line in the sand by the end of the first post.
So what part of my premise was objectionable?

I just think it's sad that the medium isn't really associated much with ambitious animation techniques.
do you not think that this is tantamount to saying that writing isn't associated with ambitious techniques because the bulk of what's read isn't "ambitious"? by definition, within any medium, the less popular stuff is less popular.
i was just mildly snarking tbh but really, you can have an "i love this" thread without defining it in opposition to all that tawdry mainstream "that" that you don't dig. and it will probably make your appreciation all the stronger.

― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Monday, 28 April 2014 01:37 (ten years ago) link
Again, I think my elaboration shows that I don't at all mean to completely dismiss major animation houses, America or Japan. But I don't think it's totally crazy to say that a lot of their output is very poor and that there might be legitimate things in them to object to. A lot of Japanese animators are totally scathing about the general animated output of their country.
I'm guilty as charged that I made a sensational title to get attention and I probably shouldn't have because it is a rampant problem on the internet that I'm not proud to take part in but again, I thought there was enough in the first post to backpedal from the oppositional element.
The oppositional gut feelings come easy when you're bombarded by something that you think has significant or even major problems while so many great things are marginalized. Particularly when it comes to comics. I'm sure most people here have called things "total shit" that in a fairer, more constructive mood they would admit to having some good qualities. Ideally I'd like to criticize everything as if I were talking to the creators face to face in the most constructive, bluntly honest but encouraging way I could. I'll often say I hate Friends, Big Bang Theory and Family Guy but a quarter of the jokes do make me laugh and some other things work occasionally. I often get angered by superhero comics and movies but I have genuinely enjoyed them on occasion.
I like to try and be reasonable as possible but then I remember the time I tried to talk about wonderful animation and its potential, with people responding "no I don't like Family Guy, Pixar, Avatar or anime", RAAAAAAAAAGE! I don't like snobbery and elitism because I think it is anti-intellectual in the way those things make people oversimplify, when the fact is that almost nothing can really be reasonably summed up as trash or shit. But if you really seriously care about culture, have starry eyed dreams about people believing in aspiring to greatness and raising standards, you'll know how easy it is to fall into dismissively oversimplifying things.
I assumed flagging posts was reserved for serious transgressions like horrendous racism, sexism, violent threats and legal boundaries being crossed. Not passionate disagreements about culture.

Zachlyon says "bigger studios have more freedom and currency to experiment on a big stage"
Examples? Fantasia is the only time I can think of a major studio being really experimental. But there is loads and loads of low budget avant garde animation. A lot of people decide to avoid or leave big animation studios because lack of freedom. The big companies have the resources but how could they compare in this way with Piotr Kamler and Gyorgy Kovasznai?

I'm supposed to be getting ready for the second half of an all-day exam but felt I should pop in to stick up for Jan Lenica, Walerian Borowczyk (together and separately) and (depending on whether you consider him an animator) early Zbigniew Rybczyński. Boro's "Jeux des Anges" is one of the most eerily beautiful things ever.
Also nthing the praise for Yuasa- Mind Game, Kaiba, Cat Soup, etc. I'm excited as hell about the AT episode, but the Ping Pong anime is welcome news to me- Yuasa adapting Taiyo Matsumoto!
Speaking of Matsumoto, Michael Arias' film of Tekkonkinkreet is well worth your time. It suffers from the Akira problem, albeit not *quite* as acutely (it's easier to condense a single giant brick of manga int a feature film than a long-running serial that hadn't, IIRC, even concluded yet at the time it was adapted) and it can be quite sentimental but for sheer visual impact almost nothing can match it. And the sentimentality works well in places- the B-plot about the low-level yakuza working for the alien theme park mogul almost comes across like one of Miike's less gonzo gangster narratives.

Burning Buddha Man and Violence Voyager - The artist/director of these said the tv version of Cat-Eyed Boy and the music video for Denki Groove's Mononoke Dance inspired him to make paper puppet films. I preferred Burning Buddha Man because the ideas seemed wilder and the drawings rendered more beautifully (in a very grotesque way). Violence Voyager is heavily inspired by american films (Westworld and Jurassic Park were mentioned) and it's perhaps that because it seems so much like a children's film that the ruthless violence seems all the more surprising (even after the title prepared me for lots of violence). There's a few short films too. A nice mixture of horror and humor, very much looking forward to more of Ujicha's films or even any visual art he makes. So I guess he's my favorite japanese animator after Keita Kurosaka.

Completely blanking on the name of an animator who did really quiet noir-ish, realistic but vague stories in maybe pastels (lots of vivid red), maybe the 80s and 90s but that's not much help. Hope I find him again because I didn't have the patience for his films when I discovered them, some of them were quite long but never feature length.
