Question: 

Hi. I’m thinking about doing fan commentarys (AKA Riffs)over certain anime movies. Sadly, I am a bit shy and need some advice on how to do good ones. Got any advice for this poor Aussie otaku?

– Main Topic –

Movies that are Good but due to a flaw are not Great, requested by MalloMartian

  • Howl’s Moving Castle
    • Felt like a guided tour.
      • Too rushed.  Not enough emphasis on any one aspect of the plot (e.g. war)
    • Character relationships seemed non-transparent
  • Gedo Senki
    • Waaayyy too slow.  Only about the last 20 minutes of the movie were paced well enough to be less than boring.
  • Jin-Roh the Wolf Brigade
    • WHAT BIG TEETH YOU HAVE
    • Not only was this anime slow but they worked the red riding hood angle TO DEATH
  • Appleseed
    • Not bad, but the animation I feel cuts it down combined with a slightly lack-luster/confusing story
  • Sword of the Stranger
    • Lack of Character background
    • Basically just a big battle
  • Escaflowne the Movie
    • If only they stayed true to the original story…
  • Tekkon Kinkreet
    • Too much THIS IS WHAT I CAN DO WITH ANIMATION and not enough STORY
  • Macross: Do You Remember Love?
                   -Rushed opening
  • Ghost in the Shell (original)
                    – Abrupt final battle/ending
