JimmyFraska 03/09/24 1:44:08 AM #14:	Animation has become worse, not better. That goes for the art of film in general. The silent era.... thousands and thousands of extras, ENOURMOUS sets that still go unrivaled, and insane stunts...... There's been some great films after the 1920s, but to be honest none go as far as they did in that early era. Now, these early anime studios you're talking about (well, earlier) , and these old film studios I'm talking about..... the working conditions were much harder. Those anime studios were sweatshops..... no ac, endless hours hunched over, years of back problems and arthritis...... The old films.... someone gets seriously hurt or mamed in a stunt, or gets trampled by the crowd in one of the old epics from the 1910s...... you didnt get an insurance policy that would cover you to not work for a year. But the art.... the art was much better. It seems there is something to say about creation under pressure. We won't get either of these again, so it's best to cherish the ones we have. The ones people broke their backs and died for. <cite>JimmyFraska posted [p:979271545] in The animat... [t:80716716]...</cite> <quote>Animation has become worse, not better.

I remember it once every couple years and try to hunt for a copy, but give up after a day or two. @DnDer AFAIK Angels Egg never got a Region 1 DVD release. So you can go for the R2 copy for around 60 bucks for collection purposes, or just get a bootleg. (or you can be extra fancy and get it on laserdisc) My policy with bootlegs is, if it was never released R1 and probably wont be, I have 0 guilt about getting a bootleg for it.

Legit-looking copies with the inserts and case and all were always 100+ USD. It was less about "buying bootleg" and not getting the complete, original product, or the same quality product.

Yes, Cyberpunk Edgerunners is one of my favourites, really well done. But even then it's missing some of that 80's style. --- FC: 0361-6999-4252 <cite>BadKarma_JT posted [p:979288432] in The animat...

If you want some manga that covers that stuff I recommend Showa, a History of Japan and Barefoot Gen. Though historical revisionist nationalists hate them for precisely those reasons. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:979289877] in The animat...
