It's been a while since I watched the anime. I remember the scene that hit me was the scene where he played piano for the first time in years and it looks like he was underwater and couldn't hear the notes, really all the concert scenes are great.

This documentary celebrates the legacy and influence of Satoshi Kon’s work, both in Japan and abroad. It features interviews with fellow anime directors including Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell) and Mamoru Hosoda (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time), as well as overseas admirers such as Darren Aronofsky (who included an homage to Kon in Requiem for a Dream) and Rodney Rothman (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse). “An intoxicating celebration of an astonishing talent cruelly cut down in his prime, Vincent's film serves as an enthusiastic eulogy for long-time fans, but also as a tantalising eye-opener to the as-yet uninitiated.” (James Marsh, South China Morning Post).

Watch those satoshi kon movies now

yup that one got me too

Wow finished punpun. What a ride

new gundam series coming oct @Jake @Skrilla

Lord knows I need some Gundam and mechs in my life

I really wanna get into this but aren't there like 8 seasons I need to watch or something

Reporting in

There’s different timelines, but there’s good series you can watch as a stand-alone like Gundam Wing or Iron Blooded Orphans.

yes and no. yes - there are multiple gundam series but no - some of them take place in different timelines or are standalones so you dont have to watch every single one to get the full understanding of gundam

i can recommend some if you’d like

So which ones would lead up to this new one coming out?

So it's like Star Wars with plotlines being so far apart in their timelines?

Or just a long running soap opera?

theres not much info on this one so if its a standalone series then you might be able to see it without watching any other gundams

uhh the former i guess

I mean I never watched a series like that before, so it was the closest thing for me to compare lol

nah yea i get you besides like 2 shows gundam is mostly about anti-war they all just tackle that message in different ways throughout the series

new gunpla

Bisco some mid

F***, I'm not gonna enjoy this last episode aren't I?

The art is so pretty and the character designs are really good. I just want the writing to pick up if there is ever a season 2

People on anime reddit seem to like it somewhat.

2nd half def dipped a bit in quality compared to how wacky and fun it was for the first half.
