The Best Animations From Around The World
Or as how we'd like to refer to as "alternative cinema".
Or adult cartoons. That could work too, I guess? Whatever floats your boat, man!
Adult cartoons immediately reminds everyone of "Hentai" hence t'would be best to pick another term for it.
Now this list will solely consist of titles we had recently saw or discovered and by no means be "THE" definitive
list to the best of the best in terms of the animated world. More titles would be added in upon request and upon newer
discoveries.Think of this as expanding your own horizon and opening one's self to someone else's culture.
These are an escape from the usual titles you might have seen/heard of and a few of them might eventually grow on you
and be your next favorite. So go ahead, sit back, relax and go torrent a movie!
We start off this list with one of our more recent discoveries:
10. Cybersix.
Don't let the discount Celine Dion theme song fool you.
It actually is quite good and the pilot episode alone is more than enough to get you hooked
on to the rest of the episodes.
And if you like that, then there's 13 more episodes for you to enjoy.
Originally started out as an Argentinian comic series by Carlos Meglia.
The series was then produced in Canada then animated in Japan.
The lead heroine does remind us of heavily of "Miss Black" from the Koko Krunch commercials
but then again this character could've been the main inspiration for that. The show has that Batman : The Animated Series, The Shadow meets 80's anime vibe to it and the theme is definitely very Aeon Flux-ey.
Speaking of Aeon Flux. Here is yet another title from the same director (Peter Chung).
9. Reign : The Conqueror.
Based on the novel of Hiroshi Aramata.
This title is a sci-fi take on the life of Alexander The Great.
Character designs and various visual aesthetics are very much in the vein of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
We temporarily break away from our usual fantasy themes via Marjane Satrapi's
8. Persepolis.
Originally published in French.
Two volumes of the book were made which then culminated with the release of the animated movie in 2007.
A coming of age movie based on the autobiographical comics of the same name.
Persepolis depicts the author's life during and after the Iranian/Islamic revolution.
The movie deals with various themes such as gender equality, binding traditions, religion, love
and finding one's true identity.
And despite the film being presented in black and white (which closely resembles the comic book nonetheless), the movie
contains more resounding themes and content that are still very much talked about and relevant
to this day.
Other films from the same studio:
Speaking of Black and White....
7. Renaissance.
or Paris 2054: Renaissance.
Is a sci-fi film by Christian Volckman.
We would categorize this title as Sin City meets 90's cyberpunk PC game.
It was backed up by Miramax Films but never garnered a theatrical release outside of UK.
6. Kick-Heart.
A successfully crowd funded short film by Masaaki Yuasa and Production I.G. studios.
Also credited in this project is veteran director Mamoru Oshii as project consultant.
It's a love story between a masochistic professional wrestler (Romeo Maki) and a sadistic nun (Sister Juliet).
The film has trippy colors, off the wall comedy and sketchy "Bill Plympton-ish" visual presentation.
Other films from Production I.G. that you might also like:
And before we go ahead with our Top 5, let's hype up this list with a musical intermission.
It's Freak Of The Week by Freak Kitchen.
Hey there, young adults!
Do you like Ren & Stimpy?
NO?
How about some overly muscular superheroes then?
NO?
Well that's too bad, because here comes.....
5. The Ripping Friends.
Despite sounding way too much like a prank segment in Jackass.
The Ripping Friends is actually cartoon series by John Kricfalusi of Spumco.
Featuring a cast of spandex clad superheroes and Spumco's very own Jimmy The Idiot Boy.
Think of it as Dexter's Lab's " The Justice Friends" meets Mike Tyson's Punch-Out.
The gross-out humor is still there and is actually less creepier than what we're accustomed to.
The series finally folded after 13 episodes. (What is up with that number???)
4.Absolutely anything from TitMouse.
But for the sake of this list,maybe this one:
Pinched by David Vandervoort.
More TITS for your MOUSES:
3. Sita Sings The Blues.
by Nina Paley.
A quirky and cute retelling of the Ramayana and some parallels to the artist's personal life.
The art style is strongly influenced by the 18th century Indian tradition of Rajput (Rajasthani) paintings and shadow
puppetry. The film then evolves to a more modern look with the inclusion of vector graphics and Squigglevision.
A technique more commonly associated with Dr. Katz.
Or The Triplets of Belleville.
By Sylvain Chomet.
Is a surreal movie about an elderly woman and her loyal dog and the many
trials they face while trying to rescue her grandson. They'd also meet three
eccentric musical singers along the way. These three would eventually be the
Triplets From Belleville.
Although the movie has that "shot in the dark" look to it, the backgrounds
are undeniably very detailed and almost Ralph Bakshi-ish.
And now at #1.
Mona Queen Of The Babes.
by Benj Bartolome, Mike Banting, Chad Cabrera, Sam Gungon of Happy Lockjaw and Dark Chapel Of SSM!
Nuff Said!
It's our blogspot anyways hence our rules!
Do you agree with our list?
NO???
Then go ahead and make one of your own, you scumbag!

Balitang News
Some possibly heart breaking news for folks that wishes nothing more than our permanent artistic demise!
WE'RE BACK, mofos!
And even better than ever!
How so? Let me count the ways....
1. Had recently won us some free swag courtesy of Pancho Karambola's raffle.
Thanks Mike Banting!
2. Had produce twice as many stickers and is currently pursuing a career in BOMBEROLOGY!
3. Got paid for our very first online commission.
Our future's looking SOOO bright hence we needed to wear shades.
We are more than thankful for friends that got our back and a self-motivation that is unmatched like Mr. Perfect's athletic prowess.
There's no stopping the SSM! train from here on out.
The madness could not be contained, it WILL and EVENTUALLY RISE TO THE TOP!
Hence, a fair warning for folks and their momentary period of ecstasy.
PROTIP: Make sure our casket are closed.
Because if not, then you're gonna have a bad time!
Make sure that the nails are hammered in properly or we might have to go OLD TESTAMENT on you.
And we sure as hell ain't in a forgiving mood so you better watch out, holmes!
Now can you dig that, sucka?
YOU CAN?
Then good!

Bring Home The Kevin Bikon
It's time!
So put on your favorite red suit and cut loose,
And if you're a regular on this site, you'd know by now as to how much fun we had the first time around.
If not then, let us refresh your memory.
*Cue the wavy lines then fade to black gif*
Taking place at Baker Memorial Hall.
Just conveniently at the back of last year's venue and a couple of "tamblings" away from the fair grounds.
An equally strategic and appropriate venue to hold such event.
In fact, it heavily reminds of U.P. Diliman's Bahay Ng Alumni.
Di ba-di ba?
We arrived considerably early thus we did have a lot of time to decorate and
pimp our table.
Xzibit
but this was a humble effort on our part so what the hey!
Some good things do never change!
As we've jokingly mentioned before(here's a link of it, just in case you missed it:
https://www.facebook.com/silentsanctummanga/posts/346000148933400),
their kindness is that of a million saints and touching enough to make you wanna cry manly tears of joy.
It's the kind that restores your faith in humanity and makes you wanna do good deeds like I dunno:
Helping an old lady cross the street.
Participating in a hug party.
Administering free breast exams.
Offering someone a NOVENA.
Elbowdropping on Hulk Hogan.
or doing just about everything listed here.
http://madelinespoonermusic.com/?p=106Jokes aside, the first speaker was of course, Tony Tuason of Flipgeeks.
Each talks were then partnered with a Q & A segments as to encourage crowd participation and to know both the personalities and their works even further.
We were selling one of our books at the time and before we reached the stage area, the talk was all over!
And for that, we're terribly sorry.
Moving right along with the last and the best speaker of that day, it's Tonio Macion of Fhate Comics.
Ayiiii...
Busy si Josel.....
Benj of Happy Lockjaw.
Joycee.
And last but not the least,
it's Benj.
And it was fuck'n awesome!
Unfortunately it was a bit unexpected and similar to what happened earlier, we were once again unable to rush to the stage and photographic evidence. But it was a good Tagalog song and he genuinely sang it like a boss.
That's our name (in there somewhere)
Oh, pardon us! That's just the PTSD kick'n in!
We also received THIS artjam circa 8-7-14.
We also did an art trade on Yuyu Hakusho characters.
Where in we received this cute chibified version of Shishiwakamaru.
This was what the final output looked like.
Worth mentioning is that of us finally meeting one of our wrestling bretheren, Ram Roque.
And pardon our impromptu review of these two books. Clearly we are not in the position to conduct these reviews but we will just evaluate them as how we see it.
We bought a copy of Kwentong Pogi : Joe Pogi Jr. back in Summer Komikon of some two years ago. It was initially recommended by Benj. And to our surprise, we didn't expect it to be this tightly written and well paced. It wasn't exactly a typical komik book perse it was more like a memoir/autobiographical narrative type. The typical WWE stuff you'd come to expect from let's say...Mick Foley or Chris Jericho. It was believable and an absolute thrill for a wrestling fan such as ourselves.
Maaksyong Komiks was more like the fleshed out komiks counterpart of Kwentong Pogi. Now in exciting sequential panels, with (still and very much) humorous dialogues and memorable special moves. SSM! highly recommends this book and wishes to purchase all of his future works when the opportunity arises instead of receiving free copies like a cheap ass freeloader. Ram Roque is his name and wrestling is his game!
Ohh Yeah!
Oh yeah, parting words!
There was food, artworks, insightful talks, memorable chit-chats with customers/familiar faces like Bret, Apol and most especially Pau.
It was exactly that "pachill-chill lang" ambience that brought me there the first time around and if this keeps up then I think we might have found a new home/event that we could proudly call our own.
And we could have rode that super scary ferris wheel too, if it weren't for that meddling drizzle!
So again, our most sincerest and heartfelt salutations to Jack Baydo and all of the marshals, organizers and sponsors of Elbikon 2015.
Next year ulit!
