I am old enough to remember the

Hooray!

It's from boingboing, y'know..

Remember when the future was gonna be exciting and creative and great?! Alive From Off Center anyone?

When people talk to me about manga and Japanese animation, I clasp my arms over the top of my head and run as fast as I can. Miyazaki? Heavens yes. Japanese music? By all means.

Manga, tho... no es bueno. Yet I had to stop and wonder about Tekkon Kinkurito.

From what I make of the French (at fous d'anim), it's directed by Shojiro Nishimi, the guy who did Mind Game, and the art direction is by Shinji Kimura, who did Steamboy. Both of which are movies that I might have seen, if they weren't all ... manga-ey.

Can it be completely bad? Ehhhhhh?

Well, the stills look marvelous, anyway.

At least we don't have to worry

it are funny

"Kids" are two commercials that any kid could make. Or so it seems.

Thanks for the heads-up from cartoon brew.

Heh heh... is this the first robotic octopus hug on record???

There's plenty more where that came from.

Thanks! to the metafilter!

Fear and Loathing in Mos Eisley is funny, for a second or two... mostly the picture at right says it all.

Clunky flash can be pretty amusing, no?
