Welcome

During the past few years I've seen fantastic animation series and movies, but also a huge amount of poor clichés. After wasting lots of time and patience, I've found out particularly useful to read synopses and/or reviews at specialized blogs/websites to narrow down my search for new animes. The idea of this blog is to share my thoughts and opinions about old and new animes I've seen (see anime list). Brief descriptions, technical information, trailers and torrents enrich the blog.

Hope you enjoy and comment.

Millennium Actress

Sennen Joyū (Millennium Actress, 2001) is a master piece. It's an splendid drama movie written and directed by Satoshi Kon. The movie depicted a documentary filmmaker named Genya Tachibana, who is investigating the life of one of Japan’s most famous actresses, Chiyoko Fujiwara. Hence, an intriguing plot takes place while Chiyoko gradually unveils her memories. The storytelling is outstanding and the narrative is built over different perspectives including flashbacks from Chiyoko's memories, Tachibana's memories, and film segments. Reality and cinema are mixed up where sudden changes in settings, characters, and visual style make the film better by the second. The drama is touching from beginning to conclusion.

 Grade (0-10) : 9.5

Torrent

P.S.: If you liked Millennium Actress as much as I did, you must watch Perfect Blue (1997) and Paprika (2006).
