Mars Express Trailer #1 (2024) 

I hope this will start a change for France as it is very much so now for the English-speaking world.

The director does adult animation though so I knew as soon as I saw his name

When I was cycle touring in France I’d look in the shop windows in little towns and especially book stores and I’d see the best sci-fi covers on children’s books ( young adult ) would love to know what the titles were.

I thought this was an anime until I saw the directors name on it

How did it do in France?

YES

i wasnt built...programmed for that.

With the correct training, yes.

The question is, can humans?

@@NoHope-WhatSoEver answer is yes, humans can

Cool

Is it just like Ghost in The Shell (1997)?

​@@vincentphilip9712: I'm not good in english so, please, copy my text and make the translation with a translator. Ce film d'animation est une synthèse de ce que la science-fiction a produit de mieux depuis des décennies... et une réflexion sur le transhumanisme, l'intelligence artificielle, avec une poésie et maestria qui donne au public, non pas ce qu'il veut, mais ce dont il a besoin pour le surprendre. Et pas avec un "deus ex machina", puisque c'est un cheminement intellectuel et pertinent qui amène à la conclusion parfaitement magistrale. Ce film est la preuve que, le plus important, réside dans la qualité de l'histoire. Le travail graphique paraît simple et potable, par rapport à une production Ghibli. Néanmoins, sa finalité transporte davantage pour qui garde l'esprit ouvert (pas forcément simple, mais je ne veux pas divulgâcher). Par ailleurs, et le plus important : ce film a une atmosphère ! Une atmosphère crédible car les détails les plus insignifiants ont été pensés, animés et amènent le spectateur à se transposer dans cet univers, facilitant à merveille la suspension d'incrédulité (taper "fossoyeur de films" et "suspension d'incrédulité" pour avoir une explication du concept). En bref, il s'agit, sans hésiter, de ce que l'animation française a produit de plus prestigieux, se rangeant désormais aux côtés des chefs d'œuvre, tels "planète interdite", "les maîtres du temps", etc. Un film qui fait renouer avec les grandes heures de la création artistique. Bon visionnage.

is there anyway to watch it from some page or anything?

@@vincentphilip9712 In the same vein, yes. At the level of the best Ghost in the Shell episodes

Same crew than crisis jung! I highly recommand by the same team "Lastman", its a wonder, there is two season of it, and a comics!

@@user-bm5hq4ci5t Ah definitely makes sense! Also thanks for the recommendation of Lastman, I've had that on my watchlist for some time -- I just need to get around to watching it.

don't forget Snowpiercer!

Hmm you look familiar, are you William Usher?

"Do you identify as human?" "Negative, I am a meat popsicle."

It's from Ireland during the troubles: "Catholic or Protestant"

@@tauIrrydah Ah. I never really understood what The Troubles were actually about, to be honest. Was it Ireland just not liking Britain? Was it some kind of religious thing?

@@BioGoji-zm5ph pretty much both

Dude, you need to get out more.

I couldn't put my finger on it until you said it! That and Blade Runner Black Out.

Loved that anime.

Also Armitage III.

ergo proxy mixed with ghost in the shell for sure. man ergo proxy was such a good series.

Ergo proxy was awesome. This trailer is reminding me of Metallic Rouge anime it also takes place on mars at first.

Always funny how all the stuff Ghost in the Shell borrows/imitates/steals from Isaac Asimov, William Gibson, Blade Runner, and Neal Stephenson never gets acknowledged by its fans, but whenever anything vaguely cyberpunk comes out they're quick to call it an imitator of GitS. Very amusing. 😆😆

@@Turd_Rocket Ghost in the shell caught more people's attention with all those ideas rolled into one creating something unique, which alot of popular sci-fi "stole" from

@@jackcarver5412 So let's move the goal posts from "originality" to "mass appeal" and "influence". You seriously want to claim Ghost in the Shell had more influence than Isaac Asimov, William Gibson, and Blade Runner? You're dreaming, stranger.

I was thinking Ghost in the shell too

@@Turd_Rocket I think it compared to Ghost in the shell because this is animation reminds everyone of it.

Have you seen Arcane League of Legends Show?

Put Pluto to the list hahaha

Oh wow,,,, might want to turn those vibes down a notch before it becomes unseemly....... 🙄

Holy crap somebody besides me that remembers armitage.

​@@jeremygregorio7472 lol, unfortunately

You're forgetting the original, ghost in the shell

That's really close. lol.. You can drive there in 30 minutes.

weird, it's the opposite for me. story looks great, but the graphics look dull and flat.

Damn, too many people don't know about Pantheon. Shame. Re-watched it the other day, for the second time. :) Very good sci-fi.

@@JaniMelender Nothing will ever be as good as Pantheon

Watch other works of Jeremie Perin! This is his first shot at sci-fi, but his previous works speak for themselves. Lastman was what convinced me to watch and read french animations and comics. This movie had a limited release here in Korea last year and it was absolutely worth the trip to go out to the theatre that was actually playing this! Also loved Pantheon. Hope American animation can figure itself out soon.

Pantheon is one of the best animated shows ever.

I tried to watch it, but Amazon prime keeps removing it from their service
