Films and TV ok :thumbs up:

I am a very young millennial/boomer zoomer so the first 3 decades are basically wins by default. Anyway I got:

  • 70s: Belladonna of Sadness (‘73) by default. Watercolor hentai.

  • 80s: My Neighbor Totoro (‘88). Dope as hell.

  • 90s: Perfect Blue (‘98) maybe? Either that or G Gundam.

  • 00s: Gurren Lagann (‘07). Imaishi hasn’t missed since.

  • 10s: This one’s tough because most of the stuff I’ve seen aired in the last ten years. Think I’ll go with Hyouka today. The tone, characters, animation - it’s all perfect. It’s been hard to revisit this one lately since most of the leading staff who worked on this show were killed in the arson attack last year. Fucking sucks to think about.

  • 20s: I should probably finish Eizouken

      I think it's hard to escape how influential and good Miyazaki has been, consistently, for many decades.

      Land of the Lustrous isn't just "a good CG show", it's a landmark piece of progress in the industry. It's one of the shows with the most depth in art, allegory and intentional hidden meaning behind its work since Evangelion, but at the same time via use of CG. It's the piece that truly has driven the industry forwards out of just 2d art and showed everyone how anime should be using 3d in the medium if they really do it right. The CG doesn't just make the show possible, it complements it. It is good for it. That is arguably an industry first.

          There are definitely scenes that will wow. The good thing about a completely CG show that simply accepts and leans into the fact it is CG is that it ceases to be distracting in the same way that a pixar movie's CG is not distracting. It is just good. But moreso than that, the material it is built on is absolutely phenomenal.

          Also it's a communist society, so there's that too.
