I really should watch PA again, over the course of a couple nights, maybe assisted by some of the AnimeSuki forum discussions, which included background as to what the old man's riddles actually meant, at the end of each episode - some relied on mythological perspectives, Japanese superstitions, and suchlike
( ... )
Well except maybe the geofront and Tokyo 3, and of course not the DATES, but the disaster and tragedy of it all? Yeah maybe.
I actually understood it of course, so it's extra creepy for me. Not so creepy as Shin Megami Tensei, which is substantially more likely to actually happen than Evangelion, but pretty creepy.
Babe, Donnie Darko, Heart of the World, Haibane Renmei, Azumanga Daioh, and Cats Don't Dance (again just last night actually :). I didn't count Paranoia Agent or Princess Tutu as I haven't seen them all the way through. *headgun* And although I have Priscilla and Survive I've not, well, seen them. *headHowitzer*
Mmm, I need to drop CDD into Hyzenthlay again sometime. Such wonderful use of color, and superb comic timing. I'm quite surprised to see it ranking so high in the poll - I'd quite expected it to be in the middle, at best.
Priscilla? Well, that depends - do you feel pretty, oh so pretty? ^_^
Survive Style 5+ is a brilliantly awkward one to describe, with very Japanese dark humor throughout, aided by the occasional - and pivotal - appearances by Vinnie Jones' hitman character, who asks everyone, "What's your function in life?" Definitely one for a good size screen, as the visual compositions are often quite remarkable, particularly within the first character's house. (ISTR the director had done quite a lot of advertising work, which would make sense)
WHICH BROTHER TO CHOOSE? ^_^
(I think I'd go with the actor. He might not have the reliable income of the mortician, but he seems like he'd be the more passionate)
Hm. Maybe I'll upload the short sometime, and pose that as a poll question. ^_^

That anime gave me nightmares.
'cause, ya know, IT COULD HAPPEN.

I'd have to feel pretty to watch Priscilla, I think.
Yup, the actor. That, or Maddin.
