Heterochromia

Well yeah, it’s been awhile since I’ve blogged. In fact, I still continued watching anime but just didn’t write about it. I watched Ghost in the Shell 20-24 in the meantime, as well as Sumomomo Momomo episodes 2-6. Oh, and we finished the rest of Nodame Cantabile (episodes 3-11) in one go.
Hataraki Man and Sumomomo Momomo are the only series of the whole autumn season I am continuing watching (I even dropped Bartender) and I should finally finish watching NHK.
Well, that’s my anime status. Nothing interesting.

However, I’m glad I’ve found something that managed to catch my attention: Memories! I really disliked Akira, but I’m looking out for everything Katsuhiro Otomo does (one day, I want to watch Steamboy too) and most of the stuff is actually good! Especially this little collection of short movies is a gem. I hope it reaches a wider audience.

My favourite movie of all of them was the second, then comes the third (for its style) and in the end, the first. I have to admit that I loved the atmosphere and the animation of the first movie, but the story itself was so depressing and generic. Ugh. I hated the woman, and I wonder why her voice reminded me of Millennium Actress (a movie I appreciated a lot, by the way). They also slightly look alike and are both celebrities.
In my opinion, the second movie had a really original idea - and a gorgeous ending. It even made up for the fact that the protagonist is just *too* stupid XD
The third movie was a “slice of life” in a quite special manner. I didn’t know that before I watched it though, so I was surprised that there actually was no conclusion at all *hrr*

I was also very pleased to see that Milkmaster liked these movies. I always forget that he likes this kind of artsy stuff and feared these movies would bore him. I’m thinking too much *g*
