by way of MICHAEL MAUER
today I want to discuss anime films. not motion pictures by using the likes of Mamoru Hosoda, Makoto Shinkai, or Hayao Miyazaki – really watch those. I need to speak more about alternate timelines and recap videos. I've been debating lately how I believe about these kinds of videos. On one hand, I take pleasure in having my fandom satisfied. even so, I suppose guilty for enjoying films which are in fact just blatant money-grabs by using animation studios. I've determined to discuss just a few anime movies here, and optimistically get some enter on what every person else thinks of them.
In my mind, probably the most first rate examples are the Madoka Magica films. specifically the closing film, rebel. Some individuals hate it. I, personally, loved it. The sequence wrapped the plot up nicely, and didn't actually need a continuation. however, on the identical time, my internal fan couldn't assist however be excited by means of the possibility of seeing new Madoka Magica. In that feel, I'm inclined to say that rebellion is a fine film "for the fans." That's no longer an excellent argument notwithstanding. I might just as neatly say "best americans with blind obsession for the show will enjoy it." Which often capacity it's probably now not basically that first rate.
The Shakugan no Shana film is the exact opposite. It summarizes the demonstrate's first story arc (six episodes), so I regularly suggest it to individuals who seem attracted to the series, however don't are looking to decide to observing all 3 seasons. during this feel it's first rate for any one who isn't already a fan. This seems to unnecessarily restrict the viewers once more, even though. i can't help but feel the film could have been greater entertaining for long term enthusiasts as smartly.
In other circumstances, corresponding to end of Evangelion, videos are basically standard if one wants to have any hope of figuring out the total sequence. The details of the Evagelion motion pictures may fill a number of other posts, besides the fact that children. In contrast, videos like the k-On!! movie have basically no referring to the plot because there really isn't a great deal of a plot in the first area.
Yet, in both cases I consider that these videos healthy very well with their respective series. conclusion of Evangelion clears up the ambiguities left over by Neon Genesis Evangelion (the collection), while the ok-On!! film simply gives greater lovely k-On!! goodness (which is all it obligatory to do).
Of course these are best a small sampling of anime videos. there are lots of others that I could focus on, specifically the peculiar Eureka 7 movie, and the classic destiny/limitless Bladeworks film. however, I'd like some enter on what my readers believe of anime videos. in the meantime, I should get around to watching the AnoHana movie – no matter if I'm emotionally prepared or no longer.
