Yet another "what is this movie?" thread.

[Samurai Drifter]

Okay. I really dislike asking for help on forums, because I don't like to seem as though I haven't done my homework. But I absolutely can't find anything else out about this anime movie I read about in in an anime magazine (Animerica, perhaps) a while ago.

All I remember was that it was an an anime movie, maybe shorter than the average length (though I don't remember specifically). The plot was along the lines of a love story in a post apocalyptic setting. I think it mentioned the moon had been destroyed. I also believe I remember seeing a picture with the article that included a boy and girl sitting in ruins. It had some sort of a tagline like "love after the end of the world".

This was probably at least two years ago when I read this, and I haven't been able to locate the magazine again. I think there was also an article in that same issue about D vs. Arucard, if that helps pinpoint which magazine it was/when it was published.

Main points-
-Fairly recent (I remember thinking the animation was amazing)
-Article published at least two years ago.
-Post apocalyptic love story
-Moon destroyed
-Screenshot with what, if I remember correctly, was jungle ruins, but I'm not completely sure on that one.

The animation style, now that I think about it, reminds me of the style found in Voices of a Distant Star and The Place Promised in Our Early Days.

If it's a relatively recent love story dealing with the end of the world, my immediate response would be Saishuheiki Kanojo (SaiKano, released domestically by Viz).

I saw a trailer for 銀色の髪のアギト GONZO movie from not too long ago where the moon is destroyed
people said the story was weak though

No, it isn't SaiKano. I've seen every episode of that.

It takes place after the end of the world.

That looks like it. Thank you very much. :cheers:

(I could have sworn I read about that in 2003 or 2004 though...)

Since it was GONZO's first movie, I couldn't help but download and watch the recent fansub. It was pretty bad, in my opinion...don't know if it's worth wasting your time. -_-;

Gin-iro no Kami no Agito once again shows GONZO's severe weakness: choosing style of substance. Really, the story didn't pick up until the last 20 mnutes of the movie.

Gonzo has been making a fat living on style over substance. Kaliedo Star, Hellsing, and Last Exile are about the only things they have done with any substance.

You obviously have not watched Gankutsuou. Even if someone doesnt like it, there is no arguing that it is full of "substance".

I would also suggest Basilisk, but I fell that could be argued either way.

[ZeroRyoko1974]

I tried to watch Gankutsuou. My conclusion was, that must be what it felt like to be on drugs.

All I can say is that that's a shame. Not liking the style is one thing, but from what you're implying, you couldn't watch it, right? Im actually interested in how far you made it through the series. In my opinion, the style really calms to a more conventional appearance as soon as episode 3. I just dont think many people even tried to get that far.

You might also want to investigate drugs more. If your serious, from what I have heard from drug abusers and read about the various effects, you appear to have a very poor comprehension of the effects of drugs.
