OH DUDE! Ringing Bell! Man, I love stuff like that, where it's cute seeming but goes darker, like old fantasy anime and animation. Unico is another that I enjoy that is deceptive that way.
I am sorry, I haven't seen it yet! I hope it picks up soon! Nothing worse than making something you care about and then having it not do as well as you had hoped.
After getting into Aggretsuko it doesn't surprise me how truly dark Sanrio is capable of going. They really don't flinch, do they. I shouldn't have been surprised about Tezuka's short either
It was a great watch! I love finding out about new anime, whether they're full series, shorts or movies, and your appreciation when talking about them was contagious. I'll definitely be watching some of those
I was so excited to see someone else talk about Mr stain after seeing it on Funimation years ago and they kept running ads for it. I finally watched it after months of running that ad and it was pretty good. So thank you for talking about these
Agreed with your friend. I would’ve never watched Blue Giant if not for your recommendation, and it rips. Thanks for turning me on to it, Ringing Bell, and other cool, lesser known stuff!

It has a Masaaki Yuasa sequence that is just amazing, and the whole movie is really endearing.

The only way to watch it with english subs for now is to check a fansub, at least until Discotek Media gets the rights for it.

Jumping is amazing and I’m shocked it’s so obscure. It’s one of the last things Tezuka directed!
