re: #327 piratedan

well just like anything else, when all aspects of a film are working in anime, I find it completely enthralling, just like a good book or a good album, you step into that world and immerse yourself in it.

last good feature length anime that I got lost in was Summer Wars

Very true. I showed a friend of mine here, Eva is her name, Akira for the first time a few weeks back.

She commented afterwards that within 10 minutes of viewing, she completely forgot she was watching an animated film. She was utterly blown away.

That’s one of the reasons Akira is so widely regarded as a masterpiece.
