I agree with you about what the died of Kazuya don't have the much importance for the characteres, it's the greatest problem of Touch, the his parents of kazuya dont happend much.Touch before this was "10" after the Kazuya died I give the "9", after I returned with my 10 because the charactere Kashiwaba is very good, and the final eps of the anime beyond have a great direction and have very much catharsis.
Yeah, I haven't read it either, but I'm quite curious about it. I think I might have read some short stories from Miyazawa, but I don't remember now. Oh, no surprise with Giovanni's Island. It has sort of a similar vibe and even has the train scenes.
I'd say the same with Atsuko Fukushima, who is Morimoto's wife. I'd like to see the two work on a bigger project. She's even more sparse other than working with Morimoto, that Genius Party short she directed, or the occasional key animation role.
Dude! The Minky Momo OVA is by the same director-scriptwriter team that made Goshogun Time Etranger and the third Pokemon movie I was talking about the other day 🤯
I can't remember if Morimoto actually directed one of them. I thought he just animated a scene—I believe the one with the rugby match. It was not an overly experimental short or anything very vague. But what you're describing is most of Morimoto's work after he shifted more so from being a key animator to a director of various music videos and shorts.
Yup, that's the one. Did you read Miyazawa's book? A few others from him have also been adapted, which may or may not work. I think I've only seen Spring and Chaos, but not sure I'd recommend it for this.
Nope, you don't need anything outside of MAL. It's a MAL club. Just tell me if you want DVD or HDD instead, and I'll send you an invite.
I'm not very familiar with Minky Momo as a franchise. I've just seen that one OVA, and it's much less silly than it looks. The amount of comedy is also pretty light. It's a little slower and more introspective. Pretty strange given its appearance and being connected to a magical girl franchise. I was meaning to check the other OVA.
Ai Monogatari is worth watching as a whole and some of it is interesting, but it's really only the Hamasaki one that truly left an impression on me. Quite a number of others had nice art or production values and moments, though.
Hmm... have you seen Night on the Galactic Railroad? That probably has what you're looking for.
btw, I realize you seem to be exploring OVAs a good bit. Maybe you'd be interested in joining an 80s/90s OVA + gekiga manga club that's private at the moment? The interests of the group are fairly broad.
Unfortunately, it's been quite a while since I've seen that Rintaro OVA, so I don't think I can suggest anything too close in tone or intent, but...
So you're asking if I know of anything that matches your description in the second paragraph?
Well... MAYBE Ai Monogatari—I'm not suggesting the whole thing, but instead, Hiroshi Hamasaki's short. He's most well-known for directing Texhnolyze. Minky Momo in Tabidachi no Eki might also fit, and a train is an important plot point. Maybe also Yume Bakura's Twilight Theater. Mostly Ohira's short; maybe Hashimoto's.
Konami used to be a lot more adventurous in general.
Actually, if you want to rephrase your question, that might help too. I feel like I might be misunderstanding.
Yeah, Suzuki is a really obvious match for a Lupin film. I remember hearing about the story of Oshii wanting to make the Lupin film and it falling through. I've only ever seen small amounts of the TV series. Other than that, just the Fujiko series that came out a few years ago, Cagliostro, and a few movies I can't remember the name of. Pretty curious about Pink Jacket.
I thought Kyousougiga was pretty good. Certainly worth a look. One of the characters is able to bring life to his imaginings. It was pretty popular for a while back when it came out.
Yeah, thanks for the recs. Nice talking with you and good night. I'm looking forward to trying the Shin-Chan one, as I'd been wondering where to start for a while. Pretty daunting film list for that series.
