phantom of the opera-anime

[lettered]

When I was first getting into POTO, someone linked me to this fanvid someone made of the ALW POTO Overture...dance mix...played over this...anime. I always remembered it forever because 1) it creeped me out. 2) it's utterly fascinating how well this anime seems to fit POTO. 3) I spent hours and hours wondering what the anime could possibly be about. 4) there were skulls and roses and stuff, and sad phan that I am, I get all fascinated by flowers and death.

Anyway, so I mentioned the vid to my_daroga, and she hadn't seen it before. Thank god for YouTube.

Yup, DBZ is anime.

Anime isn't a genre; it's a medium (like watercolor, oil, fiction, etc.) There are many different genres within anime. I favor the more dramatic stories, in full length movies like Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Howl's Moving Castle (all by Hayao Miyazaki), or the modern magical realism tale Tokyo Godfathers, or the poignant and bitter World War II story of the firebombings, Grave of the Fireflies.
