I showed redline to my family who would absolutely hate anime and they asked me for more like it. Unfortunately, there isn't.

There is another movie Daniels made before. Swiss Army Man. Don't watch trailer, don't read about the movie, just watch it.

I wasn't really blown away by Redline, it just felt like cheap effects with long trail lines.

I was however blown away by Dandadan's first episode. A genuine tour de force of amazing animation and pacing.
It renewed my love of anime which I thought had been stagnant for a while. Every single frame had its own vibe.

The amount of effort he puts into practically free videos on the internet is amazing.

Oh yeah, that whole thing is creepy as fuck. But very well made.

There is more coming? What when how? I need it.

We have purposely trained him wrong, as a joke.

While we are talking kung, Kung Fu Hustle is golden as well.

Akira is a total trip as well.

There's been a live action Akira film in development hell for over 20 years now. I've been patiently waiting since my teen years to see it and I'm in my early 40s now. I guess directors are so scared of not being able to live up to the masterpiece that is the original anime film, so nobody sticks with the project long.

Personally, I'd love to see it recreated as a miniseries. If you've read the manga, the film barely touches on the plot. There are gang wars, political factions, economic and social collapse, insurrections and riots, even global wars! None of that is covered in the film; they just focus on Tetsuo and Kaneda.

Heck, even its namesake, Akira, isn't around! He was a central figure of the manga, but he's only around for some brief flashbacks in the film.

A miniseries would give it time to world-build and cover everything in the original manga series.

If you liked Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer was a movie made by the same director, and it shares the same type of humour and amazing special effects. Worth checking out if you haven't.

You're not content enough to accept.

This made me think of Tuca and Bertie which has an offbeat sensibility and is well done IMHO

😂

Kung Fury is a self aware satire/homage. Breen is just incredible insanity.

I agree! It looks like it had a larger budget than it had, which is really impressive.
