I watched the Akira 4K remaster in the theater yesterday. Also the 1st time I ever saw Akira (I know…).
And tbh, I don’t get why it’s so highly regarded. Like, the animation was sick (especially for the time), but the rest felt so underdeveloped. It also didn’t help that I couldn’t stand Kaneda and Tetsuo.
I watched Wolf Children, and you know what? Best Hosada film (that I’ve seen). It’s not even close. It turns out Hosoda can make a good movie when he’s not trying to shove metaverse bullshit into it.
I also went and got caught up to Goodbye, Lara. Wow! This is a great show! in a normal season it would be an easy pick for my #1 but right now it’s difficult to choose between this and Daemons of the Shadow Realm, Re:Zero, and Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia.
Kinda fun that I watched these two things in the same week; they’re the closest things I’ve seen to Miyazaki movies that didn’t have Miyazaki’s involvement.
