Animation...

I am really liking animation at the minute, well I have always liked it really but just at the mo I am finding it more entertaining than previously. I am sure it comes from the fact that boundaries can be pushed so much further and you find that sex, violence or language that could never be produced for the big or small screen without relegating it to the dark recesses of the underworld can be recreated in an edgy, entertaining and escapistic (is that a word Dimples?) way! For me the best animation relies on the writing tho and not the prettiness of the drawings or indeed, how graphic they are. Imagine how four 8 year old boys calling one an others mothers "crack whores" would go down in the real world, well clearly it wouldn't and would never be made in to a movie but in cartoon form South Park is one of the best things on TV currently!

Anyway the point is that I have been buying Spiderman classics and some new stuff but I want something a little more adult, this leads me to Manga and other Japanese animation! I have some stuff already but it's so had to find good movies that are not all about the sex and violence and indeed has some substance. Well... After reading this review that I spied on Slashdot I think I am going to get Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Complete 1st GIG Box Set (7 Discs)! If anyone can recommend anything else I am open to suggestions because with little knowledge it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff!
