I'm starting to enjoy anime movies,
I loved Vampire Hunter D, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Ninja Scroll, Highlander.
Which ones do you recommend?

try out ghost in the shell

Thanks, i'll try to see it, i got Blood-The Last Vampire too.

yeah. definitely try ghost in the shell. the first movie is the best one(there are 3 movies) and you might as well watch the actual series

Thanks a lot

I highly recommend(in no particular order):
Akira
Ninja Scroll
Vampire Hunter D(the original)
Ghost In The Shell
Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away
Nausica of the Valley of the Wind
Steamboy
Neon Genesis Evangelion (tv but still excellent)
Armitage III
Berserk
Appleseed

I dont know if this =would count,But My fave is still The Fist of The North Star

If you like a good thriller watch - Perfect Blue. This film blew me away when i first watched it, a proper psychological thriller in Anime, It's a bit full on so not for kids. A really excellent movie. also If you liked Hellboy there are a couple of animation films of it that would be worth watching, They use all the Actors from the Real movie to do the voices, would make real good action films in their own right.

not entirely if this counts as a movie sry if it does not

i recommend the HellSing ova,s its a series or movies after the Anime finished and they have not released the rest yet for all i know but its full or gore and the best one to watch is the Japanese the English version does not show as much gore well cheers and umm the ova's fill in the blank about the mellionum (how ever its spelled) organization

How could you forget about Death Note? One of the best there is

I reccomend the ones stated prier to my reply but also Trigun, Gunslinger Girl, Love Hina, Space Cowboy, Outlaw Star. There are more but cant think of them now check out WWW.ANIMECORNERSTORE.COM for all anime avalible to buy.

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet I'll chime in with Toki wo kakeru shôjo aka. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

I saw Ghost in the Shell yesterday.... awesome movie.

Spriggan
Nausicaa of the valley of the wind
Howls moving castle
Puni Puni Poemy

Forgot the name of it, but there was one that was about a blind instrument player. The asian instrument that's like a round backed guitar with a short neck. Pretty good movie.

i love any of the lupin movies and wicked city, ninja scroll,golgo13, venus wars, fist of the north star, akira, vampirehunter d. But lupin is definitely my favorite.

akira, blue gender and your under arrest

let's not forget blue submarine #6

Devilman!
Street Fighter!
Akira!

I'm a bit of a novice to the genre but here's what I've loved:

Akira
Ghost in the Shell
Ghost in the Shell 2
Ninja Scroll

I don't know if Death Note fits in this category as it is a series but it's so amazing that I have to mention it, twice.
Death Note kicks... (well you know)!!!

I just learned in this thread that there's a third Ghost in the Shell movie so I'm off to find that and I'm sure it will make my list as well.

P.S. I had a hell of a time finding an english subtitle track for Ghost in the Shell 2 but finally, through a lengthy, hair-pulling search session I came across a good site



Based on the quality of the G.I.T.S.2 subtitle track I found at this site (not to mention the only place I found to have it) and their extensive catalog, it seems to be a good resource for those that enjoy foreign entertainment.

how about Tokyo Godfathers

Nobody mentioned "Lens Man" before, and is one of the first japanimation movies ever to reach western counties and find full acceptance after "Astro Boy".

As some series like Neon Genesis Evangelion were mentioned, it is in the best interest of the comunity to pay some attention to Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, xxxHolic, Hunter X Hunter, Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Fruits Basket, Full Metal Panic, Full Metal Alchemist, Gun Buster I and II, and Flame of Recca.

I recommend Basilisk, Naruto, Ninja Scroll, Bleach and Shura no Toki, although their all series (not counting ninja scroll cause it's originally a movie)

Ya, i have a couple of series's that I love.

I love this series... My favorite out of all anime shows.

OURAN HIGHSCHOOL HOST CLUB

you can watch it here

Cheers,

-k00ks

from my own point of view Its

Detective Conan

link

and

hunterXhunter

link

NARUTO

I'll recomend GITS:SAC ( Ghost In The Shell:Stand Alone Complecs) AniDB link

i saw it all & i like all did you see ((Ratatouille)) movie ,the story is very good

listen, Ratatouille isn't "Anime" . i'ts just a **** cartoon. and please don't compare cartoons with anime :) that's my advice :)


my advice is to read the rules, Schuldiner
faerie

Alot of good movies there I also enjoyed 'Sky Blue' made in 2005 took 7 years appearently to make.

I would hve to say Spirited Away and Steamboy..to name a few

Grave of the Fireflies

I see that nobody mentioned DETECTIVE CONAN

I recommend it its an awesome TV series and movie

I think all the ones I'm thinking of have already been mentioned somewhere above! But they include:

Akira
Devil Man
Fist of the North Star
Wicked City
Ninja Scroll
Oedo 808

I personally really disliked Ghost in the Shell...it was so boring :-/



This was very good, but extremely sad...

I love the Studio Ghibli Anime stuff

Hokuto no Ken - Raoh Den Junai no Sho & Hokuto no Ken - Raoh Den Gekito no Sho - be warned, though, 100% Epic ;)

Most movies from Studio Ghibli is worth watching, most of them are pure masterpieces. Specially Laputa: Caslte in the sky.

I'm sure one of those is fist of the north star but what's the other? Or are they two names for the same thing?

Hey guyz don't forget about Grappler Baki

ya i got some you should try out first things first TRY Dragon ball z its like the best ever!!
and try fullmetal alchemist



ya detective conan....man havent seen that in a while great show

I dont know if this is where you want it but i recommend Endless Waltz its a Gundam Wing movie

I'd recommend Cat Soup. Its not really the anime style, but if you liked Serial Experiments Lain (that series is my all-time favourite just to give you some perspective), its a more abusrd version of that.
Basically the movie is 1/2 hour long, and tells the story of cats that look like Hello Kitty. Death takes the soul of one cat's sister, but her brotehr fights for it and it rips in two. He then goes on a quest with his catatonic sister to recover her ruptured half.
Mixing images that stay with you for months (a thunderstorm inside a living transculcent elephant that ultimately escapes and floods the world), and truly bizaare settings (metal scuplture graveyard) make this movie quite nifty. The entire tale is told with no dialouge, and the characters speaking in a gibberish-language (actual gibberish, I don't mean a wierd varity of Japanese :))

Although they've been mentioned already, definitely Steamboy and any of the Miyazaki movies (good site: http://www.nausicaa.net ). I remember the Tenchi Muyo movies were really fun to watch with friends. Also, although I never liked the show, the Love Hina Christmas special is pretty fun too.

This thread reminds me I should go download The Girl Who Lept Through time and check it out.

K

Check two of the weirder Miazaki movies, Porco Rosso and Pom Poko

http://imdb.com/title/tt0104652/

http://imdb.com/title/tt0110008/

Pop Poko is not really Miazaki but it was from Studio Ghibli.

For series my favorite is Witch Hunter Robin

I strongly recommend FullMetal Alchemist, Berserk and GTO (Great Teacher Onizka).

P.S. all anime series
also P.S. GTO is the funniest most hilarious anime you could ever find .. .. yeah, that hilarious

i guess i'll go check Perfect Blue .. sounds interesting.
