i agree with kevin, death note was good for the first half of the first season, after that fuuuuuuck it.
i tend to be more into the movies than i am the tv shows (although i'll give ninja scroll, cowboy bebop and gantz props):
Jin-Roh
Akira
Steamboy
Ghost in the Shell
Vampire Hunter D
but nothing will ever come close to touching Princess Mononoke.
feel free to suggest some more shit i might be into. neo-tokyo is my jam.

Re: Fucking Anime
fuck that makes me not want to watch them. what ever, the series had a awesomely played out story anywayCitizenOfUlysses wrote:
the movies are some of the biggest teases evar-seriously, the first movie has a pretty bad cliffhanger, but the second one just hurts. also, mushi-shi is just super boss. prolly some of the best voice acting I've seen in a while, both dub and sub.BROOTALPOODLE wrote:i just finished eden of the east, it was pretty damn awesome. i need to watch the movie now.

Re: Fucking Anime
Aside from the blood and guts of the fun anime tales, I really do like to watch movies that me and my sister can enjoy (she's eight years old)... and have found a few that I really dig.
Gulliver's Space Travels (aka Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulliver%2 ... d_the_Moon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZVzove2mIk
I really liked this one, kind of reminded me of Pinocchio a bit, but without the "be-a-good-boy" life lesson (it had more of a "technology-is-going-to-destroy-us" type of lesson instead)! I really enjoyed the awesome mechas/robot king at the end of the movie. That trailer video from youtube is incredibly long though...
Fairy Florence (aka A Journey Through Fairyland)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Journey_ ... _Fairyland
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGORMM3XCW4
This movie was ultra awesome, has a really amazing soundtrack with Beethoven and Bach. Is usually compared to Disney's own Fantasia... not really in storytelling but because of the music being a big part of the film, I would say that the storyline is more akin to Alice In Wonderland. I can't say that the movie made too much since, but it's ultimately just a surreal fantasy with pretty groovy artwork, trippy characters and a great soundtrack.
The Unico series
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ibh1eG_fDs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unico
These have probably been the most enjoyable yet most irritating of all the movies aimed towards children that I've seen that are anime (or any children's movie really)... literally want to kill Unico but the fucking thing is so adorable that I wish I could just take it out of the movie and feed it carrots (or human blood, or whatever it is that it feasts on). Will always watch when given the chance...
If y'all got some not so obvious recommendations than please gimme them.

Re: Fucking Anime
90's kid as in a grew up in the 90's? then most certainly. princess mononoke still stands as one of my favourite movies of all time, no questions asked. obviously i've seen more but those were the ones that stuck with me/i could come up with off the top of my head. i'll check out those other 2 you mentioned.
Re: Fucking Anime
pre-skram from 1995? /facepalm
just watched grave of the fireflies the other day, it was okay.. but barefoot gen was a lot better/more depressing

Re: Fucking Anime
I'm not huge into anime but I do enjoy it sometimes. FLCL is my favorite series and Summer Wars is my favorite movie. Persona Trinity Soul and Cowboy Bebop are cool too. High School Of The Dead was good for mindless entertainment.
