Lawson on teatrical anime
November 5th, 2007 by AuthorJeff Lawson writes about the teatrical anime, or lack of it. Not much for me to disagree with, but I’m going to make a quick comment.
And even though Naruto and Pokeman movies are a dime a dozen, I don’t think anyone cares all that much with the exception of the children of Japan.
Quite so. Without invalidating Jeff’s point, I thought that Naruto-based Mission to Snow Country was unusually good. In my experience, series-based movies usually are worse than their acncestors (Sakura Taizen and Escaflowne come to mind). But Mission to Snow Country was rather watcheable. I’d buy a ticket. Well, I’d rather buy a ticket to TokiKake, but let’s not overreach here.
UPDATE: I wasn’t following, and meanwhile the proper English title became “Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow”.
