looks good but I guess the PS3 has a good scaler but then my TV isn't large or one of the better ones. So it just looks as good as the last time I watched it. The PS3 is a very reasonable DVD player.

Your Name is excellent. signofzeta wrote: I watched Modest Heroes, three shorts from Ponoc on Hulu...or maybe Netflix, I don’t know. It was exceptional and also used some interesting techniques rarely seen today. It makes me optimistic for future anime. This looks delightful, I'll have to try it.

tasuke wrote: guess ZETA must be quite right about me, as i had found "Your Name" to be singularly dull and unengaging... While I was able to watch it and enjoy it more than the Red Turtle both just are so so for me. Great anime and style but the stories are just lacking and really need to be shorts. I can only compare it to something like a Twilight Zone episode, they are fine for 25-30 minutes but 90 minutes or longer are too much. But this is where good stories and good directors come into play, can't have one without the other, or you can have a great story with a poor director and cast but it will still be interesting as the story is what holds interest.

With no stupid American Otaku to satisfy it could just be what it what it was supposed to be. It has a point and style and drama and all that stuff that is hard to work into anime because anime at this point, commercially speaking, is made for gaijin to wank to. Added to my list. I agree with this generally. Ergo Proxy wouldn't be the same if made now hell it might not even have been made. Unfortunately often times to find gems you have to look through or past the b******t. Yurikuma Arashi is a prime example.

While its engaging I found it utterly pointless much like the Red Turtle but I found others more enjoyable like my life as a zucchini as one example.

signofzeta wrote: BTW I’m looking for mahjong anime. Nothing with lasers and idols or whatever. Gangster stuff. I want everyone in the show to be a loser. Akagi is a mahjong anime. It is pretty over the top and the art style isn't for everyone but it certainly has a style, not homogeneous crap. It was never released in the US (guessing not profitable enough) but it should still be possible to find fansubs for it. I looked and I don't have the files anymore. I'm not too surprised. I'm generally good about backing stuff up some many years back I did lose a lot of stuff that could not be recovered when I had some stuff die on me. Edit: Looks like it was streamed at some point on crunchyroll 8 years after it came out originally. So maybe there are somewhat official subs now. Maybe it's still on there I will never give them a dime so idk but it makes me more hopeful that it can be watched by more people.

There is also a three seasons live-action japanese TV series of the franchise. The first season was quite boring and it took me a long time to get through it, only to be rewarded with a really awesome second season. Another good mahjong anime is "Gambler Densetsu Tetsuya" which plays after the end of the second world war. If you are into moe and like little girls playing mahjong (which I think you do not) then "Saki" might be interesting. There is also this funny OVA called "Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku: The Legend of Koizumi" which has some mahjong action. Overall though, Akagi is the best thing, followed by Tetsuya.
