Hopefully we made it entertaining enough for you. LOL Yes, if I recall correctly you suggested the animation topic. Hopefully we made it entertaining enough for you. LOL

Ah-meh-lee! Lol you guys are funny. Anyway, good podcast. I liked the bit about directors going up their own asses and coming halfway out again. :D No! Ah-meh-lee! Lol you guys are funny.

If we didn't keep you on your toes, who would? It does seem to be common practice for directors to go up their asses these days. I hate to say it, but even Robert Zemeckis seems to have fallen prey to this phenomenon. First "The Polar Express" and now "Beowulf"? Somebody needs to tell Bob that it's okay to film people and leave them as is. No need to digitally paint over them. We'll get enough of that in the future when there are no more actors and everything is done with computer animation. Ha ha! If we didn’t keep you on your toes, who would?

It is, without a doubt, one of the best animated films I scene, and it's a far cry of the typical anime conventions of samurai, robots, and samurai robots (not that I'm complaining), instead being about a teenage boy and his young sister's struggles in Japan towards the end of World War II. It has one of the most heinously depressing fucking endings ever; imagine taking all the heartbreak from throughout Schindler's List and basically sinking it into a two and a half minute moment that seems as though you should've been able to anticipate it, but don't. At ALL. Great podcast, it was good listening as always. I even leveled my WoW character while listening to it (twice if you count both this and Mysteries of the Unexplained). =D Although what you guys described didn’t exactly sound like it, was Grave of the Fireflies the horribly depressing anime you were discussing?
