re: #342 piratedan

I would agree, although some folks might argue that Evangelion is the best/better but I’m not one of them. I think the Akira soundtrack helps to separate it, not to say that Eva sucks, I just found Akira much more compelling.

Heh. My ex-wife used to complain that anime was nothing more than girls with unnaturally large eyes, over-inflated boobs and guns. So, figuring it was just easier to show her that anime is more than that, one day when we both had a mutual day off, I showed her Grave Of The Fireflies.

She was blubbering by the end of it. And she admitted her earlier assessment of the genre was perhaps mistaken.
