Korean Animation

[shadedpain4]

I'd like to dig into some Korean animation, especially on blu. So far I have ordered:

Green Days
The King Of Pigs
The Fake
The Satellite Girl And Milk Cow

Anything else I should be looking into? I don't need them to be violent or gritty, but I'm not looking for stuff designed only for kids (things that are Ghibli-esque are A-ok).

I think Wonderful Days and Leafie: A Hen into the Wild are worth checking out too Pat. Perhaps some more, I'll have a think and add to it if I missed any.

aachi and ssipak, but not the cut & altered USA bd.

Korean dvd is what I've got, don't know of other editions.

There's very few, you probably named almost all. Nothing is going to top The Fake though imo

Interesting! Love Wonderful Days so I might try a few of those you mention. WD is overall best on blu-ray from korea also since it is the extended cut.

Here is how I would rank the ones I've seen.

1. Green Days
2. Leafie A Hen Into the Wild
3. The King of Pigs
4. Wonderful Days
5. The Fake
6. My Beautiful Girl Mari


I have the Korean blu rays of all except Mari. Thats only on DVD.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm eyeing wonderful days already.

I assumed Leafie was more of a kids movie, is that not the case.

I should clarify my tastes. I love Totoro, but have never seen Frozen, and rarely even go near Pixar stuff or newer Disney films.

If we're talking about series, i LOVED Winter Sonata (the animation), but I don't think it's on Bluray.
It's a soap-opera like romantic drama.
I saw the whole thing in 2 days.

It may be more of a kids film, but like Japan, Korea doesn't take kids for a bunch of pussies like American studios tend to today. It's bright and colorful, but there are some darker themes in it that may be more akin to earlier Disney works. I think it's worth checking out if you are a fan of animation.

Thanks. I will do so.

I always liked THE BOY WHO SAW THE WIND (regardless of being very derivative of Miyazaki's material). Liked MY BEAUTIFUL GIRL MARI, but it's been a while since I've put it in the dvd player.
