Another one that's technically a manga adaption but it adapts only a very tiny bit with the rest being original, and overt film references.

Remember my Love: extremely uneven film (the middle is pretty bland), but because it's over looked people ignore it has some of the best Lum action in the series. The intrigue and fantasy segments of the early film are capped off by this extremely well done chase and action segment.

Mendo Army - note that the manga just has some glasses wearing bodyguards who do Mendo's bidding. The anime adaption goes further to make a full fascist style paramilitary organization which makes for some nice visuals. Though it paints Mendo as more megalomaniacal as he probably is intended to be.

 No.1378

Movie 1: Only You is also overlooked. While I don't think the story is that interesting and it has pacing issues, the direction, and story boarding at times were top notch. Special shout out to the artists who made the alien world be actually alien.

This sequence of Lum at her lowest and breaking down is quite touching.

This kind of shot is called "Vanishing Point". The alleyway seems to converge and go on infinitely.

This is making use of "negative space", which can be used to frame what you want the viewer to pay attention to and guide their focus rather than overloading the image with information. Here Shinobu is drawn her gaze towards the Ataru-like figure (Actually Mujaki in disguise trying to tempt her into her dream).

When I rewatch old movies after learning a bit more about film I am in awe over all the small details and just the pure mastery everyone involved in the film displays. I just don't get this feeling from any new movies anymore.

Negative space is associated with film amateurs and overly pretentious or minimalist film making to the point of wide mockery. However, it's just a standard for film making, and many films made after 2000 even highly popular films like Zootopia use it.

Oshii was a bit of a live action cinephile, especially european films, so his technqiues and style are traced to live action rather than animation.

Our good friend Negative space again, from ep 25 of Maison Ikkoku. Storyboards by Tamiko Kojima, episode directed by Osamu Sekita who both worked on UY. A lot of the minor show staff get sadly forgotten when telling the story of anime.

A lot of the visual language of Oshii and by extension Beautiful Dreamer and some of the episodes he directed is Tarkovsky. His background and interest is mostly in live action films it seems and this translates into his direction style. So if your curious why Oshii's films have long segments of scenery with little dialogue that's why.

In fact, the book Oshii put out on his "50 Years 50 Films" only contains a scant few animated films.

What makes the original stand out is when the anime staff starts just doing their own stuff starting from the 50s, rather than it being about adapting the manga better. You still get all the zaniness of the manga from the adaptations most of the time, but then you suddenly can get crap like this. The show just becomes much more varied.

And Then There were None is another CLASSIC for this reason. It hits more if you've seen films from the 40s that its' emulating.

These might not seem significant, but if it's not done it's rather noticeable and the absence is why a lot of modern productions (especially American) are very visually bland.
