yes! What about Robot Carnival? Hey, and they say that the Disney actually knows how to animate <g> After watching Akira for the Nth time, Aladdin seems to me black and white 🙂 Well, I'm exagerating. Seriously, Aladdin is awesome but, well, I just can't stand people who talk about Japanese animation and don't know a think about it, saying that all is computer generated and photocopied stuff. Ignorants! <g> Still, I can't believe how they achieve that line quality in Akira, the kinetics… that movie is alive! And not to talk about the mechanic objects. Gee, this guys don't need an SGI. Where did they get the patience and the talent to move all those objects with that precision and that unsurpassed realism? If you like Akira, check out the manga volumes. I have some black and white japanese originals and the full (US colorized -you did a good work) European version. The ink drawings are awesome. I love all arts and styles, but what this guys (in this case, Katshuhiro Otomo) do in their mangas is out of this world: 600 pages a month with that quality??? Do they draw with both hands and their feet!? Also the elagance, the curve, the movement… all part of a marvellous centenary tradition. it's not strange that VanGogh copied so much stuff from original Japanese illustration. Of course, I'm talking about high quality, not the cheap stuff. ana "fanimatic" /krazy images
