No respect I tell ya!

>>212599361 (OP)
>>Basically the western version of Akira
Lol no
>>Brilliant animation, soundtrack and story
Eh, all those aspects are at least memorable I'd say but really overall nothing about the music or animation is actually high quality, and the stories are just pulp. And I say this as someone who owns the soundtrack on vinyl.
>> Absolutely panned by ''critics''
I mean yeah
>>Completely forgotten nowadays
One of Netflix's flagship shows is a direct homage to Heavy Metal and was originally intended to be a reboot. South Park had an entire episode that was an homage to it too.

>Basically the western version of Akira
But Akira is good. You can't just make shit up anon.

>>212599361 (OP)
>western version of Akira
a student film only remembered by medically diagnosed autistics?

>>212599361 (OP)
>completely forgotten
I guess by the ignorant zoomers... South Park dedicated a full show to it. It had a resurgance 10-15 years ago. Bah, maybe its me getting old.

Who cares about the critics. Its a Bakshi-production, could've been his magnus opus if he had a disney-eye for quality and ambition. As it is, its a product of its time. Though the Hard Rock soundtrack is fitting and great, it was heavy back in the days but sounds like regular pop rock now, the fresh sounds have become a bit monotone, perhaps even sounding "old" to the youngsters now. The animation, while evidently brilliant at times (the rotoscoping was cool) is a bit uneven and doesn't measure to the classical disney-standard in comparison. Its mobious-like but how many are familiar with him now. Comics aren't as big as it was. The story is moody and has some depth to it with its focus on evil and the chaos it causes but also is a bit sketchy and divergent.

Now, Heavy Metal 2000... That is 100% forgotten. As it should be.

What?

>>212599361 (OP)
>>Basically the western version of Akira

I'd liken it to Crumb's or Bakshi's animation, than any anime.

Heavy Metal was always about the underground scene in comics/graphic novels....If you're not reading about Superman saving kittens from trees, you're reading half-naked woman being drawn by some French perverted artist getting fucked silly before saving the universe....

>>Brilliant animation, soundtrack and story
No doubt, for the early 80s.

>> Absolutely panned by ''critics''
Because those critics back then believed cartoons should be for kids only.

>>Completely forgotten nowadays
Netflix's "Love, Death, and Robots", is basically "Heavy nuMetal"....same aesthetic, somewhat woke-sloppy, not as gratuitous. ...still passable, imo.

...as for the Heavy Metal BRAND, the former publishers and big name artists from back in the day are trying to kickstart the magazine again.....so there is still a cult following.

>>212600307
>Its a Bakshi-production
It's not.

>>212600362
Love Death + Robots was originally supposed to be a reboot of Heavy Metal but they couldn't secure the rights

>>212599361 (OP)
The animation is brilliant, the soundtrack is pretty good, but the story is mediocre. The framing device is meh, some of the stories are funny or have good action but none of them are that great. The New York one is retarded outside of the animation.
Making it an anthology makes sense, but those weren't even the best stories Heavy Metal magazine had published up to that point.

It was a niche film for a niche audience. Normies weren't ever into it.

The Fifth Element has a lot of similarities to Heavy Metal. Even has a cab driver like Harry Canyon.

>>212599361 (OP)
The soundtrack has made it hard for the movie's physical media releases to be in circulation for very long, plus the tumblr/twitter generation would whine about the sexual stuff.

Just an an anecdote, I remember the old movie review site, the Agony Booth, reviewed this sometime around 2010 or so, panning it, and they got such immense backlash over it they had to let another contributor on the site give a second, more positive opinion.

>>212600967
Wish they had added a Judge Dredd or Strontium Dogs or story to the movie.

Druuna-clone was in it, right?

>>212600355
At least we got a decent vidya out of it with Julie Straining-her-bra.

Oh man, that takes me back. We had late-night screenings of that movie on my college campus. Tracking down a decent VHS copy was an obsession of mine, when the only source was movie channels on cable TV (I think it was Showtime). Now, of course, it's on Blu-Ray.

>>212612570
The flying Corvette was bad ass. But I'll always have a place in my heart for Devo performing "Through Being Cool", since that was pretty much a song about school shooters. Holy based

Devo was the perfect band for that movie.
The Soundtrack is amazing.

Oh, wow. Good nyborg!

>>212599361 (OP)

I was 13 years old in the summer of 1981 when I conned my Polish immigrant mom to take me and two buddies to see Heavy Metal.

"But why I must go, is cartoon, no?"
"Umm... it's a new policy at the theater... no unaccompanied kids."

Needless to say, she was not happy once the movie got going but actually didn't drag us out of there and sat thru the whole flick. She did slap me upside the head in the parking lot afterward.

>>212612939
Devo is the only New Wave band I genuinely enjoyed. They were...not normal. The day I saw "The Truth About Devolution", as a middle-schooler back in the day, was like a religious experience.

>>212608159
>incoherent
But it isn’t. How the fuck are you even literate and this retarded

>>212612943
That song that plays during that scene, (All of You by Don Felder) goes so well with a good buzz.

I would absolutely kill for another Heavy Metal film, animated or live action. Every single issue is just sumptuous and the artwork you can find in them are simply incredible and would no doubt give Hollywood a run for its money to replicate. Its also probably the reason you wouldn't ever get anything like it:
>women are feminine, hot, in shape, and have huge boobs and shapely toned asses
>the men are masculine, violent, and brutal
>war and combat depicted in all its gory detail
>themes of sex and violence
>amazing science fiction and fantasy
>adult themes

They wouldn't never touch anything like it which is what makes the two film so unique because of how underground it was, which just goes to show the passion the creators had for it.

>>212612943
Look, man, if there's one thing I know, it's how to drive while I'm stoned. It's like you know your perspective's fucked so you just let your hands work the controls as if you were straight.

Akira’s animation and designs are basically timeless. I feel like you could show some Gen A kids who like anime Akira and they won’t complain about it looking old despite it being a 40 year old anime. Shit like Heavy Metal and Fritz The Cat are dated and quite frankly gross to look at even though I respect the former for its place in animation it just doesn’t hold up

>>212612998

One of the most underappreciated lines in movie history. Still makes me kek.

>>212613031
I agree with you.
I think a lot of it had to do with the times. It was a much more artistic and futuristic time period. We really thought that the future would be similar to things that were in science fiction movies back then. We had such high hopes.

The airplane story was written by Dan O'Bannon, one of the two writers of the original Alien. He had the idea of gremlins crawling through the fuselage of a plane and later used that concept for the second act of alien once it was on board. The animated short from heavy metal is basically a retelling of the same concept.

i remember my dad flicking through channels and seeing stopping on this movie and it was the Den segment. he didn't remember the copious amount of tits in the movie so it got to the part with Kath and her huge tits and he hurriedly changed channels. i must've spent like 10 years looking for it.

You're on crack. Heavy Metal the magazine and the original 1981 classic are ingrained in our culture.
-t. has the first misspelling DVD

So…..what, exactly, was the Loc-Nor? When I first saw this film in the 80s when I was a kid (I think it was a drive-in theatre which was still a thing back then) I just remembered it was this trippy evil ball thing that usually just melted you, but sometimes it would hang out with you for a while and give you powers. I re-watched it online during COVID while on a nostalgia kick - and my impression remained. Was it an alien? A Lovecraftian entity? Just a literary device (McGuffin) with magic powers like the One Ring? Why was it seemingly targeting specifically this one little girl and why did it want to talk to her instead of just melting her like everyone else it wanted dead? I understand that it didn’t melt the dad until he came back home with it because it needed the dad to transport it to its intended target first, but why was it so important for it to monologue with the daughter?

>>212620652
>Was it an alien? A Lovecraftian entity? Just a literary device (McGuffin) with magic powers

It was all those things, anon.
>the girl
Yeah, my take is this: The green evil thing for whatever reason opened the door to the fantasy realm to the real world causing the girl-who is Taarna in that realm only-to finally realize her counterpart identity and when threatened with annihilation, she awakened in reality and became Taarna for all realities.
Pretty metal, huh?

>>212620652
>was it so important for it to monologue with the daughter
Because that's the premise for the framing device that lets the anthology happen.
Each story is completely unrelated to the others with the exception that at some point a glowing green ball will show up (it doesn't even need to be important to the plot, like hanover fist is just goofing with a marble before he hulks out, and the robo-fucker lady just has it as a broach).
Its really not worth trying to excise some greater meaning from the overall plot because there really isn't one.
Its like watching tales from the crypt and trying to incorporate the host segment with the story he presents.

>>212599361 (OP)
I recently watched it and thought it was pretty stupid except for all the boobs. Yeah the animation is great but the stories are all pretty dumb.

The original "Neverwhere" animated short, from 1968: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCC_o3Nz8yo

>>212620652
In the Blu-Ray extras, the anthology framing was different. It was the father taking his girl to some sort of magic carnival, where each ride showed her a different vision, and at the end, he revealed to her she was Taarna. Somehow that got changed to the Loc-Nar tormenting the little girl instead.

I remember the early 80s when MTV played "Whip It" like every 20 minutes. Still a good song, tho.

Early more detailed design for Taarna, they had to simplify everything to make animating her easier.

I don't think he was involved with the adaptation at all. He just wrote the original comic, as well as metabarons.
Genuinely two of the best comics ever printed that elevate the medium. Helps that he works with two of the greatest visual artists that were able to translate his batshit concepts and ideas into masterpieces of pen and ink and paint.

>dot-com bubble decimated the software industry

Kek, that was literally like fucking 18 years ago.

>>212629519
Yeah anon, Blondie/Talking Heads/B52s were all early punk bands that get spun into new wave retroactively. Read picrel

>>212630478
25. The industry never recovered. It's been all outsourcing, guest workers, and perfect-fit ever since.

>>212630478
The dot com bubble burst during Clinton anon

>>212625257
Oh hell, that version seems to be gone. Try finding 1968's "Neverwhere" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLyhKUqkvgY

>>212630601
not to defend zoomers or anything but it does get hard to keep track of the number of tech bubbles the farther back you go.

>>212630571
Thanks for the pointer! Downloading it now.

>>212628465
No idea. Hopefully more of this.

>>212608011
How was the screening, anon? How many people showed up?

>>212629581
it was enough that he diddled the mind of Giraud
in the documentary Moebius Redux there is an interview with (if I'm not mistaken) Dan O'Bannon where he describes the relationship between those two faggots

Don't let it die!

Blampf

It's not. I think about it often. I even enjoyed the controversial sequel.

I don't forget it because it's nothing else like it.
The sequel tho, that I gladly forgot.

fun soundtrack

God, what a soundtrack.
This was the quintessential sex playlist song.

I love how it's generally pretty goofy until the Taarna segment, which is played straight with gravitas.

>>212630478
And look how the internet turned out

>>212636236
.....
What in the fucking fuck is this fucking shit?

>>212599361 (OP)
Tried watching on acid and it was so fucking bad. Like not even in a fun way. The South Park episode is unironically better.

>>212636067
Yeah, the B-17 segment was a barrel of laughs.

>>212636273
No idea, but it sounds like something Bret Easton Ellis would write.

>>212636273
It's from a novel I'm writing.

>>212616533
Shame they didn't use the BÖC song for that segment

>>212636614
Can you slit your wrists on some of the pages via paper cut?

I'd have to print it out first.

I'm not into postmodern writing myself, but what he's doing is a time-honored way to write. Followups to >>>/lit/wg/

>>212636137
It turned out fine. Its the fucking AI-slop cancer that is destroying it nowadays.

>>212636939
>It turned out fine.
You're definitely under 30

>>212636998
I am 31

>>212636812
Sheesh...they allow things on YouTube these days that they won't allow on a 4chan blue board.

>>212637069
Then how can you look at today's internet and proclaim it fine, when you have Web 1.0 and 2.0 as reference?

>>212637212
Look, I am not even from America and I am not even big on web culture. I don't know wtf web 1 and 2 are. All I know is that AI is ruining the internet now. Not consequences of a dot-com bubble, which bursts literally a quarter of century ago.

>>212628288
Funny enough as a non pot head i have always wanted to smoke and watch heavy metal. I own it on vhs just need a kid free weekend and some devil lettuce.

>>212636812
wow, will you look at that

>>212637212
woman, faggot, or criminal
they make up 80%+ of humans (99.5%+ in non first-world counties) so it's no surprise

>>212631015
Fair

12-year-old me was very impressed with this scene when I first saw it. Ah, for the days of sleepovers, and that one friend that somehow got copies of movies the rest of us didn't even know about.

>>212627539
KINO! Can't believe I never saw that before. Thanks.

The movie had no story

>>212627539
Mostly a mood piece, but it has its charms.

>>212640249
palestinian gf? sweet...until she demands an iphone for each of her fingers and toes

>>212599361 (OP)
critics are gay and retarded

>>212640603
Palestinian? She's white. She's just in shadow there.

I showed it to the person I'm seeing the other day. It's just a fun, neat lil animated thing when you want to watch something a bit weird I dunno man

>>212599361 (OP)
>Completely forgotten nowadays

South Park did a whole episode referencing it.

I figure at this point Love Death and Robots is the closest we'd get to adaptions of magazines like Creepy and Eerie.

>>212641581
lol they really enjoyed coloring those shadows
cute

>>212642775
It was probably a semi-transparent overlay between matte layers. Do you have the slightest idea how traditional animation works?

>>212640205
I only just discovered it a couple months ago. While not as grand it definitely scratches that Heavy Metal itch.

>>212642875
well i know that they could have chosen that transparent overlay (gel, if you insist on being gay) to be bluish, mauve, or even greenish, not pajeetish

>>212599361 (OP)
How is Akira forgotten?

>>212643198
I tried watching Akira once. Too much politics.

>>212643070
No one was hung up on "pajeets" in 1985. You appear to suffer from a childish case of "presentism".

OC

>>212621934
tell me more

anyone read that newest Taarna comic series? i cant imagine its that good but im intrigued nonetheless
>>212644703
nice job anon looks good

>>212644028
Yes, it's for adults, not children like you

>>212645062
If I wanted to hear about politics, I'd read the news. And seethe all you want, but I probably have 20 years on you.

>>212644703
Nice, I like your style.
