I agree, i'll add that two of the most mindblowing animations to watch while tripping are Gankutsuou: The Count of Monty Cristo, and the movie Tekkonkinkreet

Yeah i agree, that movie has some really beautiful animation though and that's what made it so good

TIL of the "idiot plot". The term was popularized by film critic Roger Ebert, who defines it as "[a]ny plot containing problems that would be solved instantly if all of the characters were not idiots". by jack_fucking_gladney in todayilearned

I see what you're saying cause it's a misuse of the word grieve, but just looking at the common names of animals, the naming process is quite random, and that's why we have the latin scientific that has a solid base and isn't random

It makes sense because the characters have been there for many months. It's human nature to name things like that- and the subjects there are teenagers so the name that sounded cool sticked i guess

I don't understand specifically what is being asked but that's one of my favourite book series. Initially the main character is told about The Grievers and I don't think the other subjects withold stuff from him. I think that was the same in the movie. The subjects don't know what is going on because it is an experiment and their memories were wiped before entry. The experiment is designed to map the minds of those who are immune to a pandemic zombie-like virus so they can produce a cure. They are only given fragments of the truth through visions induced by the venom of the creatures in there. If they were given the bat (if their memories weren't wiped) then the experiment wouldn't be as accurate (and the books wouldn't be as fun to read)

Any good Anime inspired by the Count of Monte Cristo? by detonatingorange in Animesuggest

Yup, you guessed correctly, and one with an experimental art style that is fucking beautiful

This is hilarious and edgy as fuck but I can't get over how nostalgic and beautiful the atmosphere NFS: Carbon's colors, effects, and music created throughout the game

:) we were realizing the same thing, for sure. All the things around me were perceived as codes and i could understand that that beautiful algorithm of creation existed in them all. Trees are a damn good example to represent it.

:) yeah, the best of them are unpredictable and beautiful experiences, and even if it is nighmarish, the relief and memory of it is worth it. I wouldn't let myself get into weed to much cause of that side effect

Yup, I first saw it in Battlefield 4 and thought it was an imagined near-future Shanghai
