If you loved The Sky Crawlers, try Ani-Kuri 15
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Ani-Kuri 15 hat ungefähr 4.5× Stimmen weniger als The Sky Crawlers — ein tieferer Cut, keine Mainstream-Empfehlung. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Mamoru Oshii, and they sit in Adventure / Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Sky Crawlers, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ani-Kuri 15 is
Here's a project that sounds like a dare. Fifteen animators were given 60 seconds each to do whatever they wanted. The result is a grab bag of tiny, eccentric shorts. It's a mixed bag, but at least it's a quick one.
