This is the thing about anime, dont get me wrong I LOVE anime. But it takes freakin forever for one scene to get going! I mean i couldnt even finish watching this!
@Fakewings18 I know what you mean. I know that using a piece of animation for over ten seconds can easily bore an audience but it can work depending on how well handeled it is. Oshii's later films like Ghost in the Shell used that a lot but it was either because he wanted the audience to connect more or there wasn't a need for more movement, or he was being cheap considering the high production values. Still, this was one of his first films so he may not have handeled it well.
Well wtf is the girl named angel and she protecting the egg or is the egg of an angel and this girl happens to find it and she protects it I mean I'm still confused
VERY IMPORTANT, I am currently collecting emails and messages to send to Criterion in an effort to get a release of this film. Everyone, please contact me as soon as possible to support this wonderous film. SIncerly, Angel's Egg Coalition.
This film has me confirmed for full weeaboo tier status. American pop culture hardly ever sees this kind of stuff... it's brilliant, inspired, and original art unlike the hamfisted attempts of Hollywood to approach these subjects with the lense of art for art's sake.
@Animeforever61 A weeaboo is someone who is a Japanese wanabe. They wear eyeliner to make their eyes look Asian, they spend an ungodly amount of money on Japanese things, are obsessed with anime and/or manga, use gratuitous Japanese phrases in pretty much every sentence, and many other things. Look up "magicalpockyusagi" on YouTube for an excellent example.
The religious symbolism and omission of constant chatter makes this movie deeper than anything I have seen to date. The fact such a stunning masterpiece was made back in the mid-80s just boggles the mind. North American animation today is utter CRAP compared to this! Even if you don't fully understand what is going on, the artwork and technique is worth every second.
I don't think this movie can be described on a spectrum of bad or good but by deciphering your own beliefs, ideas and interpretations into your own articulations.
I hate when people try to disect every little thing in one of these artsy type animations. Just enjoy the look and sound of it, fuck the underlying messages if there are any.
@hungoversundays Part of the importance of things like this is 'dissecting' them. People should be able to analyze and appreciate the art at the same time unless they're morons (I'm talking about those with the incapability of doing both for clarification). Looking at things in depth is an exercise of intelligence and insight. You might learn something if you try it some time. ;)
I honestly didn't think this was a very good movie (not bad either) even if the animation was nice. Like I understood the story and I think I got a lot of the symbolism but still you can't "oh, this is a work of art because there's no dialogue and it's confusing". That's not much different than saying "oh, this is crap because there's no dialogue and it's confusing".
You completely missed the point of this film, just because it has little or no dialogue, doesn't mean it wasn't good, the film is avant-garde, and the point is to draw your own conclusions about what it's trying to portray or symbolize, and I also think it's like a painting in motion, you get to explore the sights and sounds of the world without worrying to much about plot or dialogue, it's more of an exploration than an animation
@gatheringleaves I did get the point. I think you were missing the point of what I was saying. It's not not-good because it lacks dialogue. I'm saying that things (not just this movie in particular) aren't automatically works of art because they're silent, surreal and/or symbolic. Also, just because I didn't like this movie, don't assume that I just didn't "get it". That's childish.
@gatheringleaves You completely missed the point in what I was saying. I'm not just going to blindly praise a movie and declare it a work of art because it's silent, surreal, and/or symbolic. Don't assume that because I didn't like this movie, I just didn't "get it" or I'm not smart enough to appreciate it. And I didn't say it was not-good because it doesn't have dialouge.
No, you still dont get it, this is a good film because it is deep and symbolic and encourages people to think outside of the box and not have to rely on endless dialogue and annoying yelling and screaming for emotional impact, now with that said you cant not like this movie, it's just too out there and beautiful and intelligent, it's like a moving work of art. Open your eyes, eventually you'll get it
@gatheringleaves I can't not like this movie? I can't have an opinion? I'm trying to say that whether or not it has dialogue has nothing to do with how good it is. Being silent doesn't make it good just like how being silent doesn't make it bad. I agree that the visuals are really good and there's some meaning to it, I just don't think it's a work of art just because there's no dialogue.
@WorkSucksMedia Subjective determination of how "good" art is does not impact on whether or not it IS art.
This is most definitely art. It has affected me as much as any other work of art. It's one of my favourite films, for a variety of reasons. It won't resonate with everyone so much and that's cool, but neither your opinion nor mine has any bearing on whether or not this is art. Both Oshii and Amano are talented artists whose work has affected many.
@TheBENGALHANNIBAL Try "Little Island". The animation isn't too good (it's an independent film from the 50's) and the sound effects get REALLY annoying but it's also very deep.
idk, while i appreciate this movie, it's kinda heavy on the thinking side and so it depreciates from its ability to entertain, unless thinking is entertainment...usually people watch movies and such to destress and disconnect so idk, it has its place
I'm sorry, but you sound like a toothless hillbilly... What the hell is "unless thinking is entertainment" supposed to mean? Why do you think people play chess, solve puzzles, read books, etc...? lol Do you seriously believe that pleasure can be gained without attaching any thought process behind it? If you think that turning your brain off (like a fucking zombie) is entertainment then you are retarded... Literally.
Either that or you have severe neurosis, because when your own thoughts begin to stress you out, that's a sure sign of neurosis. Pathological help is highly recommended in either case. No offense.
Me parece que os estáis equivocando todos, hablando de nihilismo, buda y los simbolitos cristiano. El mensaje de esta peli es claro: no confíes en los soldados que son todos unos mierdas. ¿Acaso no prometiste que no le ibas a hacer nada al huevo? ¿ves como eres un mierda?
I HAD to watch this because Yoshitaka Amano was collaborating with the director on this project. His works are amazing, and so far I'm liking the first part. :D
A very advanced movie for 1985, it's strange you don't hear much about it. It's just another one of those forgotten works of art. It is a very bleak movie and on the surface it seems quite simplistic but after watching it I realized how complex the story is and how that story can be told with few words. They should make more movies like this.
Although this was uploaded 4 years ago, I can't help but notice that there is not part 2 or (2 of 9). Why am I even talking about this? Because I (maybe even some others) am one of those people who want to be able to watch an animation like this without having to look for someone else who uploaded the movie, or I just don't want to be told to download the video off some random website. Hopefully people won't start giving me negative comments because this is just my opinion.
@INEEDANIME i think it has something to do with copyright snazz. they only uploaded odd numbered parts if you take a look see at their channel. dunno sir. i wanna watch too. :3
hmmm almost like luis bunuel in anime form but with the images of dali this def get in my top ten of surrealist films up there with the andalusian dog and l'aged'or
It'll take more than one anime to prove otherwise. But opinion is opinion, and mine is that, other than qualities of animation, there is no difference.
I'll give compliments to the makers of this anime; it has good quality.
you're completely missing the point. No dialouge represents the confusion and emptiness of the world and the beauty of this movie is conveyed through sound and images already. By just thinking "oh, there's no dialouge. that's BORING" is immature, childish, and completely shallow. It's missing the point of a movie like this. ugh, sorry for the rant, I'm not one to endure mindless comments like that.
Edo is the former name of the city Tokyo. The Edo Period in Japanese history begins when Ieyasu Tokugawa comes to power as Shogun and moves the capital from Kyoto to Edo.
@LittleWingEdoFangirl Just like WALL-E, eh? Anyway, this might be a good bedtime movie. The animation is what drew me to this vid moreso than what animnewsnetwork summarized for me. I'll see how it goes.
Well I must say that is surprised me to say the least. No sound....i though mmmm sounds interesting, and then I realized i wasn't in the mood to go through a movie with out sound so I said I'll put it at the back of my brain and watch it another day.
@SilverPinkBunny I agree with your comment. Its hard to get through something like this for some folks. I'm included. Ican't get through the most of this movie because of this. Nothing wrong with that. Sadly, I don't get the meaning of this movie. Its too overly saturated with symbolism I don't understand. The art is amazing, but this is something I just don't get. I don't know what the hell I'm missing. What say you?
Ok, so as a fan of this film, I have started emailing Criterion about releasing it. I have said how little animation is represented within the catalogue and how hard to find this dvd is, both foreign and domestic. Please, all I ask for you guys to help me and start emailing criterion. I will upload responses as soon as I get them. Please help me so this film does not fall into obscurity.
This is excellent, the director completely ignored all cliches and went for the gold. Naruto is LAUGHABLE and looks like a DISGRACE when shown this kind of anime, you should check out 5 Centimeters Per Seconds and Serial Experiment Lain and Interlude.
i know Naruto isent much of an anime, I like 1980's animes better then todays crap..Like Silver Fang is from 1987 and its 100000000 times better then Narutard and Silver Fang sequal Ginga Densetsu WEED sucks too. Animation in GDW i harrable just like narutard and naurtard suppuden
wolflover, It's not Masashi Kishimoto's fualt that his manga or anime is "crap" as you say, I don't know why, but I feel your donig wrong by saying words such as "narutard" in front of such a beautifull anime... ...I am sat in front of a great anime eating my ramen and onigiri and someone says such things, well, tut tut tut, and also, bravo, thank you, Weasal Chan for uploading this, no one ever seems to find these "old" animes... ...ahh, a true "Otaku" moment... ...keep it up ;) x
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i never said the mangas sucked, they are differnt then the anime tho. i like older animes, the newer ones have that annoying flash animation and all that rap music

I don't understand your words. When did I mention a him? I just thought the movie was too slow. I almost fell asleep while I was watching it.

I find that kind of insulting. I'm an artist, and this movie is hard for me to watch. Not all artists are into this kind of thing.

omg no dialogue makes for a boring movie.
fyrestorme123 2 years ago
you're completely missing the point. No dialouge represents the confusion and emptiness of the world and the beauty of this movie is conveyed through sound and images already. By just thinking "oh, there's no dialouge. that's BORING" is immature, childish, and completely shallow. It's missing the point of a movie like this. ugh, sorry for the rant, I'm not one to endure mindless comments like that.

Hellow! What does "Edo" mean?

@ASTAEKHORUM
Edo is the former name of the city Tokyo. The Edo Period in Japanese history begins when Ieyasu Tokugawa comes to power as Shogun and moves the capital from Kyoto to Edo.

@LittleWingEdoFangirl Just like WALL-E, eh? Anyway, this might be a good bedtime movie. The animation is what drew me to this vid moreso than what animnewsnetwork summarized for me. I'll see how it goes.

Well I must say that is surprised me to say the least. No sound....i though mmmm sounds interesting, and then I realized i wasn't in the mood to go through a movie with out sound so I said I'll put it at the back of my brain and watch it another day.

@SilverPinkBunny I agree with your comment. Its hard to get through something like this for some folks. I'm included. Ican't get through the most of this movie because of this. Nothing wrong with that. Sadly, I don't get the meaning of this movie. Its too overly saturated with symbolism I don't understand. The art is amazing, but this is something I just don't get. I don't know what the hell I'm missing. What say you?

Ok, so as a fan of this film, I have started emailing Criterion about releasing it. I have said how little animation is represented within the catalogue and how hard to find this dvd is, both foreign and domestic. Please, all I ask for you guys to help me and start emailing criterion. I will upload responses as soon as I get them. Please help me so this film does not fall into obscurity.

This is excellent, the director completely ignored all cliches and went for the gold. Naruto is LAUGHABLE and looks like a DISGRACE when shown this kind of anime, you should check out 5 Centimeters Per Seconds and Serial Experiment Lain and Interlude.

i know Naruto isent much of an anime, I like 1980's animes better then todays crap..Like Silver Fang is from 1987 and its 100000000 times better then Narutard and Silver Fang sequal Ginga Densetsu WEED sucks too. Animation in GDW i harrable just like narutard and naurtard suppuden

wolflover, It's not Masashi Kishimoto's fualt that his manga or anime is "crap" as you say, I don't know why, but I feel your donig wrong by saying words such as "narutard" in front of such a beautifull anime... ...I am sat in front of a great anime eating my ramen and onigiri and someone says such things, well, tut tut tut, and also, bravo, thank you, Weasal Chan for uploading this, no one ever seems to find these "old" animes... ...ahh, a true "Otaku" moment... ...keep it up ;) x
