My brother got this on DVD for his birthday yesterday. We watched it today. What a fuckin awesome movie! I'm not big on anime or anything, so I dunno how it stacks up to the rest. But that was insane and stuff. Who else has seen it? What'd you think?

it was interesting. the end is hilarious... everybody is screaming eachothe's name over and over and over again, with this one repeated word, which i can't remember, but i translates to "oh my god!" or something.

I've seen it. Its very unique for an anime to say the least. Although I'm not 100% sure I can figure out what the ending means, I still enjoy it.

that's really shitty about the ps2 thing. how often is it you get a dvd that won't play in a ps2?

the movie drops lines that could be stories unto themselves every moment, leaving so much open it's kind of unfulfilling to me.

That's why you need to read the story. The movie is just a commercial for the graphic novels. It was a comic before it was a anime.

the comic is a masterpiece, as is the movie. but huge, and i mean HUGE, amounts of information are left out of the movie. but how can you expect a two thousand page comic to be condensed to a two hour movie and not lose anything?

perfect blue is another great anime. and read Neuromancer for more urban decay/ultra techological japan themes.

I FUCKING LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!! it's greeeeat! and also...if you freeze frame about halfway through the movie..when the bus goes by on the street...
on the bus is an ad that says something to the effect of:
APHEX TWIN - SELCETED AMBIENT WORKS 99999xxxx - RELEASE 2099
something like that with the aphex symbol..... anyone else seen that??

I agree with Jupitah. The movie gets in too deep with its topics and never lets helps the viewer understand. But i guess you would understand if you read the huge epic manga... but still. I have to say that toy killing spree with the mutating teddy bear is one of the most disturbing events in cartoon history i have ever come across...gave me the chills...and i had the lights off too!! gleesh! yikes... but anyway, i didn't understand how it was OH SO GOOD with everyone else. princess mononoke was better and so was escaflowne the movie. i bet my neighbor totoro is better... but you should definatly see it if youd like to see anime's history / complex story / scary animal fights.

the movie you're talking about isn't perfect blue. its some other anime, check aphextwin.nu or search this board.

i honestly don't recall the name, but ask a knowledgable person on this board. it was on the aphextwin.nu website somewhere. it definitely isn't either of those movies though.
