I have been trying to decide where to post where this is, so I apologise if this is the wrong place.

I have two suggestions for half-way movies/series, otherwise known as shorts. If you have already heard of them then excuse me, if you haven't I recommend them to all my friends.

1) Memories; its actually 3 different stories, all varied and have absolutely no relation to the word Memories, except the first short, which I think is the best out of them. I found this out through a fan made music video. Good cover song, remixed very well, editing is superb and the timing excellent.

2) DEAD LEAVES; thats right dead leaves in captials!! If you haven't seen this then please oh dear god watch it! I have lent it to people in the past and this is my third copy! To me it borders on a parody of all action-anime: giant robots? yup, explosions? yup, anti-heroes? yup, guns, swords, gadgets, a penis-drill!? yup, a guy with a tv on his head? yup. This thing goes like a rocket from start to finish, the dubbing isn't too shabby either. The only thing that might put people off is the animation, it is highly unusual but I like it.


Let me know what you think, and I'll throw the DVDs your way.

Dead leaves is rather amazing, however it's more of a film then a series, that would be better suggested in the movies bit. However, the memories one if fine here, not that I'm pedantic enough to move stuff, it's all good.
Thanks for the suggestion ^_^
Any thoughts everyone?

a penis-drill!?

This was actually a homage to a film, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, where said penis-drill first appeared in Japanese cinema. However, within the context of this anime society, it can also refer to our present vice-chairman, Timmy The Crotch.

Ahhh yes Tetsuo, reminds me of my youth. Not seen the second one (got bad recommendations for that)....also took me a long time to recognise the imagery and concept of rust used in that film!

Ahhhhh now i get the crotch posting....cheers for the clear up!
