Review of Renaissance (2006) by Michael G — 11 Jun 2008
I agree that one could find anime so interesting to look at that one misses the story, even to the point of checking out the consistency of the "lighting" in scenes, but though I did a bit of both, I found the characters and stories gripping.
I would recommend this movie to anyone interested in noir movies who is willing to suspend his or her disbelief in the case of anime. To be honest I wasn't willing to do this until I downloaded a VOD thing on anime in the the US and Japan and discovered that I have been watching anime for years -- the Simpsons, for instance -- and movies inspired by anime story techniques.
It is clear that one can do vastly more at the visual level in anime than even with traditional CGI effects.
