The story sounds pretty good for this one - I think I'm gonna have to make the journey up to the U-district this weekend. Has anybody seen this and can stop/encourage me before I go through with it?

If you want anime which is innovative, see Tokyo Godfathers. Anyway, I'm glad people are actually supporting a Kon movie this time around.

Well, where I lived, Millenium Actress got good support too. I do wish they had called more attention to it. By the time I had heard it was playing near me, it was already gone. @#$%!!!

None of Kon's previous films made it to where I live and I sent in a question as to whether or not "Tokyo Godfathers" would be coming and I got the automated shoulder-shrug response. But, then again, "Spirited Away" didn't come to our theatres either. Rolling Eyes

I just came back from seeing Tokyo Godfathers. It was really good. There was a lot more comedy than I thought there was going to be. The US trailer made it look all serious, and it really wasn't.

spoiler[It was rather interesting that the Spanish spoken by the hitman and his wife wasn't subtitled, but I don't think it'll be a problem for most of the people who see this.]

The only thing I didn't like about it wasspoiler[how there was no real resolution to the hitman subplot, unless I missed something.]

All in all, Tokyo Godfathers was a great and innovative movie. In a sea of giant robots and fanservice, it's nice to see something fresh and innovative.

Interestingly enough, the local art house i saw Tokyo Godfathers never got Millenium Actress, but it did get Cowboy Bebop and a subtitled print of Spirited Away.
