Title: Best Anime Movies?
Post by: TezzyTezo on May 22, 2012, 08:32 am
Spirited Away was one of the best anime films to me. Anyone else know of any good ones they might recommend? :P

Spirited Away is indeed a wonderful example. Actually, I have great love for Studio Ghibli films in general, such as Princess Mononoke, Porco Rosso, and Grave of the Fireflies (really sad but very good).

Another good one is Akira, I've had a lot of people who dislike anime as a general rule make an exception for that one, as well as the shows FLCL and Cowboy Bebop.

There maybe another movie I like that I'm not thinking of, but Akira and Studio Ghibli's covers most of them at least.

I also love Ghibli films! I would also recommend The End of Evangelion. Really good if you enjoyed the show!

I'm not big into anime at all, up until last year the only anime I had ever seen was what was on Adult Swim while I waited for Aqua Teen Hunger Force or something to come on.

But I did get pretty high and watch Spirited Away and enjoyed it, and then Tales from Earthsea was also entertaining.

I think "Ghost in a Shell" (the original)  and not so much the sequel.

Tales from Earthsea
That was quite a good one.

I don't particularly remember the End of Evangelion. I'll have to rewatch it, considering I did really enjoy the show/

The anime Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex was fucking incredible, if you're up for watching a series.
Another Miyazaki movie I would strongly suggest is Howls Moving Castle. I could watch that again and again.

And lastly, I would strongly suggest watching the Animatrix. It's not so much one big movie as much as a compilation of anime shorts of different styles, all taking place in the Matrix world.

Enjoy,

Just watched "Tales from Earthsea" after toking it up a bit and was very awesome indeed. Anyone enjoy the Golgo 13 series and movies?

The Evangelion Movies were all really different. Evangelion was my favorite show until I saw DeathNote. Have you seen it? It's sick!

I'm getting some great titles from this thread. Keep em coming guys! While I may not be the OP, there are certainly names that I haven't yet seen popping up here. So many thanks.

Cheers,

I agree with all the mentions here so far :D Mononoke holds a special place in my heart...Here are some I didn't see...

-Angel's Egg
-Paprika
-Ninja Scroll

Oh, and as far as the Evangelion movies go, they are great, and similarly Berserk, an equally classic series, is getting the same 3-movie treatment. The first movie is already out and was pretty cool, although seeing the series first would definitely be worthwhile.
