read this thread, i'm not sure why.
I haven't been exposed very much to anime: I am told I loved pokemon as a kid, and last Christmas mom bought animes from something called Studio Gibih(sp? there was one about a witch called kiki and one called "my neighbour [something beginning whit T, Toront I think]") to every semi distant relative and near relative which of coarse included me, loved those movies. So I guess I like anime, at least good and/or sane anime, but not BECAUSE of being anime.
any ways, the reason I'm bothering whit this is: whit anime being very common and cheap/easy to make, is there any indie stuff? (is it even called indie when not computorgames?)
Can someone link to movies that are:
- completely free on the net AND legal, no "pay for extra features" or pirating, but using the same business model as Bay12.
- good plot, and preferably also technically but that's less important.
- of reasonable movie length, not 100 episodes of series or a 5min short, 1-4 hours is good.
- possible to follow without knowing japanese
- something you wouldn't hesitate to show your kids. no "Hentai" or whatever it's called.
if you have non anime (either "western" cartoons or live action or something else) that fill these criteria that's just as good, but somehow I doubt it.
