Re: anime movies for people who hate anime

You're probably not responding to me, but I'm aware of all the series you list, (and yes, "Mind Game" and "Cat Soup" should be added to the list of quality works I mentioned in my post on the last page) but they don't change the reality of how putrid modern-day anime is. Yep, I ...

Re: anime movies for people who hate anime

There is a lot of stuff, come on. If you don't like the general anime tropes, you have Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, Satoshi Kon, Mamoru Oshii, Makoto Shinkai, all of them authors with a recognizable style that, even if it takes things and imagery from the mainstream anime, is still very unique. Bu...

Re: do you rank movies you shut off/don't finish watching?

No. I have some votes based on vague memories from my childhood, and there are probably some films I haven't completed though watched a great part of them. But I tend to finish everything I start, even if I get bored or the events are uninteresting. If I don't, then I can't think of a grade to descr...

Re: Introduce Yourself

Finally, I'm a compulsive consumer of short films (just because they are short), and in this case is where I've found some absences in this site. So, would like to know if there is a chance to add new titles by users or contact the admins of the page... not doing this soon but maybe someday. There'...

Re: How often do you write Mini-Reviews?

I now post a review with every rating, where as when I started I don't think I wrote any mini-review for my first 600 or 700 ratings. I've been going back and slowly reviewing those older ratings. Nearly finished now with 1702 films with mini-reviews and only 62 without. Yeah, this is exactly what ...

Re: How often do you write Mini-Reviews?

I rarely write them, but plan on include reviews of everything I've been voting, in the next months or years.
