Fave anime MOVIE???

[Yurika Star]

Edited 5 years too late to stop me sounding completely retarded.

[Kaze]

fav anime movie........i would have to say Kikis Delivery Service. Only because i can relate to how it feels for a girl to go out into the world and discovering herself.

And welcome to AA Yurika Star, have fun and play nice with the kiddies. j/k

[Pedro The Hutt]

Welcome welcome :D have fun around here

And fave MOVIE! .... well.. the Rurouni Kenshin movie ^.^

[JevexGondala]

welcome Yurika Star :D and i don't know how many anime movie threads there have been....

but i would have to say... X ... i think that ones a movie... but i really liked it:D

[Darkensoule]

Flaming? That's a fairly new concept around here, most people just :Poke: or :hump ... so watch out...

I guess I have to say Princess Mononoke. I like the feel of the movie and what's more I can show it to people who don't like anime that much and they'll like it:) There may be better stuff out there, but my opinion on this one has stayed pretty constant. There are a lot of other good movies too though; this one doesn't really win by much.

[Sleeping Buddha]

Welcome to Anime Academy. =)

*Whispers quietly into Yurika Stars ear*

Beware the welcome humping! =P

Hmm, as for my favourite movie. . . I haven't seen too many so I guess perhaps. . . Perfect Blue. Maybe Utena the Movie, Aa! Megami-Sama the movie, or Nadesico the movie as well. I don't watch too many of the movies, just the series. . . So they're all good. =P

[Mei]

Kunnichuwa to AA! Most of us here are quite harmless, but a handful....hmm, just watch your back! (literally!) ^_~
Fave movie... oooh so many, so many but I'd have to say Perfect Blue: it gives such an psycholigical insight to many different issues and there's some blood and gore, so you got to love it mwwa-ha-ha!! ("Ug, kill Mimarin... Ahh")

[wydren]

I am new also, although I seem to be in stage 3 and moving into stage 4 of fanboy evolution. I love this site, because I moved through all the previous stages of evolution, and am now saying "Why did I buy all those DBZ videos?" and smaking myself in the head. My favorite anime so far is Akira, but I haven't been exposed to most of it. What does everybody recommend? One other question, what is otaku quotient, and how can I raise mine? Thanks.

[Nanami]

The Utena movie.. ;)

[Pedro The Hutt]

Rather simple Wydren.. just keep on posting ^^"

[Shiro]

My initial reaction was Knockin' On Heaven's Door. But then I thought about Spriggan, so one of those.

[Griveton]

Perfect Blue, Totoro and Grave of the fireflies are fighting for that position... Knocking on Heaven's door is lagging behind, somewhere in the fourth place...

But for some odd reason, I'm saying perfect blue.

[Naota]

All Miyazaki movies, omg I love those movies!

But I think Laputa and GotF edge ahead.

[HunterKiller]

Hi! Welcome!! WELCOME!!!

Runs insanely for a while

Ah, fav movie? Ninja Scroll of course. Man that was sooo COOL!

[HappyDonut]

hmmm...mononoke, ranma 1/2 the movie 2, and AMG the movie.
I don't watch many anime movies...so I don't know what's a good one. These ones are good in my opinion...:)

I'm going to have to agree with this guy. :D

Grave of the Fireflies is only behind Perfect Blue because I watched it last out of three anime DVDs, and it was so damned sad. So I had to do something to get outta that funk after watching GotF.

Wasn't the Martian Successor Nadesico movie, The Prince of Darkness, not the Daughter of Darkness. I might be mistaken on this, but that's the name of the movie I viewed. =)

[Subzero]

Porco Rosso, My Neighbour Totoro, Perfect Blue, Kockin' on Hevens Door. Roughly in that order.

[WebGraphics]

Ock! Wings of Honneamise. Sure its a bit disjointed. But the chars are very interesting, realistic artwork and got some great music. Sakamoto's Distant Thunder one of my fav songs.

[loner]

1. Sen to Chihiro ( just have to be the best Miyazaki film ever...)
2. Only Yesterday (even more peaceful than Totoro...what can I say?)
3. Whisper of the Heart (true masterpiece....)
4. My Neighbor Totoro (i've seen this one a long time ago yet my love for it never decreases)
5. Grave of the Fireflies (not my type, but it is so good....)

and all other Ghibli films have a sacred place in my heart...

[LordKrelian]

I haven't seen many Anime Movies. I'm still waiting on the CB movie. I guess Gundam Wing's Endless Walkz (movie version, not the OVA version) is my favorite anime movie to date

[Kasumi]

My fave movie is the Rurouni Kenshin movie. And there is a movie that I like VERY much too, and that is Spriggan. 2 GREAT MOVIES!!!! ^-^

And Welcome to the AA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rence]

I also have not seen many of the proclaimed movies such as Perfect Dark and Grave of the Fireflies. Therefore, my choice is Knockin On Heaven's Door, with Mononoke Hime in a close second.

[Superrodan]

It's a tie.. I like Endless Waltz, and I like Akira. Princess Mononoke comes in second.

[PsychoSaiya-jin]

I'd love to name an anime movie as my favorate, but i can't due to lacking in commitment skills.

I fall in love with almost every anime-film i've watched recently.
And rubbish things i've been purging from my mind.

But i haven't seen any bad animes recently. Funny that.

[princess lash]

most definately Perfect Blue to date ^-^

[Teto]

I'd say my favorites would be Mononoke-hime, EoE, and GitS

[Dtortot]

I have two favs.
Grave of the Fireflies... great direction and script
Perfect Blue... great direction, script

But if I have to choose I choose... /me thinks... really ..... I CANT :d

[NCC81701]

Laputa: Castle in the Sky is my all time favorite anime movie.

[mokona]

Porco Rosso

[JUjinkai_Lord]

ninja scroll or princess mononoke

:GD

[Yurika Star]

Aww, look my first ever thread, well now i feel like posting in it ^^
My fave movie is Kikis Dellivery Surface or Perfect Blue.
Kikis taes #1 spot though, cause its soo cool and sweet, and doesnt resort to violence or other things so abundant in western movies.

[loner]

Yuri-kun's first thread....and hey, I haven't welcomed you yet! Welcome to AA!

Anyways, there are some changes in my favorites now. Long gone were the days of my Spirited Away obsession. The orders are now as followed:

1. Only Yesterday
2. Grave of the Fireflies
3. Tonari no Totoro
4. Whisper of the Heart
5. Kiki's Delivery Service

I still like Spirited Away a lot though. But I ain't infactuated with it. When the Cat Returns comes to HK, I will probably be infactuated with that for a while as well.

Funny how a full weekend of Ghibli can do to a person.

[Naota]

There is always a Ghibli movie at the top of the most popular rentals at the store I work at. This month it happens to be Sen to Chihiro no Kamakakushi, though an excelent movie, I wouldnt say it is my favorite. That honor still goes to Grave of the Fireflies, and I know I previously said Laputa: Castle in the Sky aswell, but I hadn't seen Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind at the time. GotF and NotVotW at an equal par as my favorite movies.

Oh yeah, I noticed I didnt say welcome Yuri, its a bit late but Welcome to AA old buddy! :sWeatdrop

However, I'll prolly watch Laputa: Castle in the Sky again soon, and it will prolly find its way back into the favorite spot, I am a sucker for any Ghibli film I watch (even Chihiro found its way to the top). So I think it would be safe to say the one that sticks at the top, always, is Grave of the Fireflies

[malicite]

my fav movie is Princess Mononoke but then again i really havent seen very many movies *sigh*

[Hiro Darshiva]

I haven't seen very many movies either but out of the ones I saw, Slayers Perfect was the best.

[Gimpy]

Grave of the Fireflies or Ninja Scroll...thats right I like Ninja Scroll...please don't hate me :(

[Silver_Blade]

My favorite movies are Grave of the fireflies and princess mononoke.

[Minnie]

/me pokes yuri XD

you're so weird. ^^

my fave movie... laputa. it was just so lovable.

i ::heart:: my neighbours the yamadas and grave of the fireflies. it's very humane, you can't help but be touched by movies like that.

[Master-Of-All]

I liked many movies but the best are Grave of the Fireflies and Vampire Hunted D: Bloodlust.

[Son Riona]

My favorites are Princess Mononoke and Tenchi Muyo in Love (Achika is such a cool character!), but then again I still adore My Neighbor Totoro (who doesn't?) . So as of now I am undecided. :confused:

[Addesan]

I think Ah! My Goddess the Movie was a great anime movie!

And also, Mononoke Hime was amazing

Hmm....i can't pick between them....they are both my faves :D

[Nakoo]

My favorite anime movies are:

Akira
Ghost in the Shell
Princess Mononoke
Jin-Roh : The Wolf Brigade

[WarCry]

lol Yuri-kun's first thread =D

Well, My fav movies would be Cowboy Bebop - Knockin' on heaven's door, Initial D 3rd Stage, Rurouni Kenshin - Requiem for the Ishin Patriots, AMG - The Movie and Perfect Blue.

And another movie I really enjoyed is SIN. I know this movie is just a pile of trash but I'm a die hard fan of the game and seeing the characters in an anime was simply awesome! But why did JC have to die at the beginning? :whine JC + Blade = Ownage!

[Tekno Ninja]

escaflowne movie ^_^

[munky]

DEATH AND REBIRTH AND END OF EVA

[umeboshi]

Tonari no Totoro is definitely my favorite, but a few others are close behind, like Jin-Roh, Whisper of the Heart, Kiki's Delivery Service, and GotF.

[Andrew1]

My faveroit aime movie is......................... Yu Yu Hakusho the movie.

[Kendo_Kata]

well let's see. Its gotta be either Princess Mononoke or Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro. Lupin is so full of action and comedy I can't help but to put it at the top.

[Theingi]

Cowboy Bebop: Tengoku no Tobira and Mononoke-hime.

[baulz]

i think mine would have to be knockin' on heaven's door..but i recently saw ninja scroll subbed and didn't know it was THAT much better (maybe it's cuz it had Yamadera Kouichi as the voice of jubei)

[metalfiend]

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. Actually I've only seen that and Ghost in the shell. And Ghost wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

[Dragoon_83]

Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro is my favourite. A true masterpiece.

[vashthestampede]

Don't worry about flaming from me....

I'd gotta say either Lupin III: Legend of the Twilight Gemini or Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie

They are just so different I can't choose which is better. Utena is just messed up and thought provoking, while Lupin III: LOTTG is just damn fun.

[scorcher18]

Princess Mononoke
Spirirted Away
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
Escaflowne

http://www.anime-doll.com/etc/quiz/goku.jpg

*hahahaha.....finally, my 100th post here* :D

[baulz]

for those of you guys that liked vampire hunter d: bloodlust - is there a japanese dubbed version out yet? i've been waiting for such a long time for it to come to the u.s.

i really liked street fighter alpha (at least better than the animated movie), spriggan, escaflowne, akira and tenchi muyo in love

[spike_spiegel]

Well I'd have to say that my fav movie (so far) is Spirited Away! That was a great movie, it was original and well thought out and kept me riveted. But in a close second is Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, that is an amazing movie! It is funny and exciting and the characters are great!

[frostmourne]

My favorite anime is akira since its such good quality
and soundtrack

[BlackJack]

Movies like Jin-Roh and Perferct Blue are very rare jems in anime, espessially for those genres. Poor poor Mima...

[Truten]

Akira was ok but it tried to cover too much information from the manga into a 2 hour movie. So that didnt work ut. I say it needs an OVA. Jin Roh was realy good. I like every part of it. I hope I see more liked it in the near future.

[Alex San Lyra]

Hmmm...

A few come to mind: Cowboy Bebop, Totoro... and Oh! My Goddess... I think Cowboy wins over the others though.

[Master Blaster]

Hmm, I guess my ultimate favourite so far is Princess Mononoke. I like Grave, Ah! My Goddess and Knockin' on Heaven Door quite a bit too.

[Sage Brushfire]

my fav anime movies would have to be princess mononoke (my first animemovies ever seen and my first real exposer to anime) and kiki'sdelivery service, wich i love since it is just so appealing to people of all ages wether they be young or old

[DMRenegade]

My fave would have to be End of Eva and AMG movie

[DisKurzion]

Perfect Blue all the way.

It has all the qualities of what I look for in a LIVE-ACTION movie. Stunning. Just Stunning.

[Mana]

GotF so far. I realy haven't seen that many movies.

GotF is the only anime I've gotten my step-dad to watch tho XD

[mavrick3020]

It would either be Grave of Fireflies, Perfect Blue, or Slayers Premium(I don't care what anyone says, that movie was great!).

[CSJ]

So far, Perfect Blue. I have yet to see Grave of the Fireflies, so who knows... maybe it will change.

[SPIKO]

Welcome...Well my favorite anime movie is probably Princess Mononoke, that was the turning point the really got me hooked on anime. Also, pretty much anything Myazaki, Studio Ghibli and Knockin on Heavans Door.

[6th Name Agent]

Either Bebop or Spriggan. Can't choose. :\

[iggypop]

Macross Plus was the best movie i have ever seen along with grave of fireflies. Macross Plus just blew my mind away with those amazing fight scenes, and G. of Fireflies really made me think hard.

[kiyone]

Tenchi Muyo in love (the first movie)
Ah! My Goddess

[Isengarde]

who dug this thread out of the trash, its a year old!

anywhoo, perfect blue is by far my favorite. its like a thriller, chiller and a drama all in one.. reminds me of Shyamalan works alot too, HIGHLY recommended (just be forewarned, has some adult nature in it and a few risque parts)

[Soleta]

My favorite anime movie, by far, is Nausicaa with Tenchi Muyo in Love, a close second.

[adamfoy]

I would have to say Jin-Roh, I loved the sound of the machine gun he carries.

but cowboy bebop, knocking on heavens door is pretty close too.

ahhhh, decisions, decisions

[Cyfer]

Princess Mononoke.
First anime movie I ever saw and still the best.

[Quantum Fluxx]

The best anime movie imo, was Ninja Scroll. It was the first anime I saw that wasnt a glorified american dub (i.e. dbz pokemon). That movie will always have a special place in my dvd collection.

[Yurika Star]

I dig it out every now and then to show i once made a sucesful thread and such, ohh, and the remincing of humping etc.

I like what i seen from Bebop movie so far.

[Sandman]

Grave of the Fireflies is my current fav but I just got Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro and watched a few minutes of it and laughed my ass off.

[Icehawk]

I would have to say my overall favorite would be Princess Mononoke.

Allthough Spirited Away and others such as Macross Plus the movie and Jin Roh are very close as well.

[Alucards Master]

Cowboy Bebop Movie, Nausicaa, Princess Mononoke and DEFINITELY End of Eva! It may be more of an OVA to the series, but its still technically a movie. GOTF is really amazing, but too depressing for me to really get into it.

[nocturne]

i'd have to go with perfect blue, grave of the fireflies, laputa or my neighbors the yamadas

[Kuzu Ryu Sen]

Best movie: Grave of the Fireflies.

Favourites: Laputa, Whisper of the Heart, Yamadas, and Kiki.

What can you say? I'm a sucker for Ghibli.

[samurai]

Grave of the Fireflies. awesome stand alone movie

[willzy]

I have so many fav movies its gonna be impossible to pick. But I'm gonna hafta and it's gotta be Vampire Hunter D: BLOODlust! Sorry, but im just a sucker for the horror anime genre! A close second would hafta be Macross Plus tho, tied wid, Knockin' on Heaven's Door perhaps :P? hehe! Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust kicks ass! peace! :)

Willfo (D's da man! go warriors!)

[yoshikun]

All the ghibi movies cuz i jus cant pick out which one is better (they are all too good)

[Iwakura Lain]

i think my favorite anime movie would probably be one of miyazaki's creations....maybe Grave of the Firefiles or Mononoke Hime. i dont know...but iti's one of those

[AqueousMessage]

The best MOVIE ever.... End of Evangelion. nuff said.

[xavier walker]

Grave of the Fireflies isnt a Miyazaki, it was his friend Takahata. But still Ghibli.

Anyway, my favorite movie is a Miyazaki, Laputa: Castle in the Sky.

[Kahuna]

Kimagure Orange Road: I Want to Return to That Day. I really loved this series. Many times I am left unsatisfied by the end of the series, but with this one, it was exactly what I wanted to see. A wonderful conclusion to a wonderful series.

I also recently saw the first Inu-Yasha movie and I have to say that I was quite pleased with it. So a close runner-up.

[Heero-sama]

Everything that Miyazaki has done I've thoroughly enjoyed, Totoro, Nausicaa and Mononoke Hime being at the top of the lisst. But,I think that my favorite movie would have to be Laputa: Castle in the Sky. It was a bit slow at first, but the scenery on Laputa was gorgeous, not to mention Hasaishi's music was on the top of his game. Good movie all around.

[Phate]

Oh, joy. Well, I haven't seen many anime movies, but my favorite would have to be Takahata's Grave of the Fireflies.

[Sanda]

My favorite movie so far is: Nausicaa Of Valley Of The Wind!

My second favorites are: Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away

These are magnificent movies!

Sanda

[Maveric]

just saw Armitage Dual Matrix last night, and it ranks up there among my favourites (though I do wish the movie rental store had the first one)

Other than that, it's a tie for first between Laputa and Nausicaa.

[8-B@ll]

I'm torn between Porco Rossa and GOTF, but Mononoke Hime is just behind.

[The Macaque]

To me this just has to be Grave of the fireflies. It has such a strong atmosphere of sad and depressive emotions, that not only do I feel a certain connection with it, but also enjoy viewing something this powerful.

End of Evangelion was a brilliant movie too, but it falls short of Fireflies, since so much has to be known in advance. I would much rather see it as a longer episode of that magnificent seires instead.

[Young Guns]

Knockin on heavens door!!
i love it!

[Tatumaru]

I thought Metroplis was pretty good. Eccept for some oarts of the animation.

[Orax]

My favorite is Porco Rosso, excellent blend of comedy and action. Not to mention the characters were just as outstanding.

[Evanlor]

WOW, seems like everyone has VERY similar tastes in what was their favorite anime movie. REALLY interesting that several Ghibli movies rank way up there. Very cool, since I've just recenly bought a bunch of them (took advantage of the Best Buy deal)!!!
-Evan

[nny]

hm....Muh Number one fav is (dun dun dun)AKIRA!!!!!(yay!)
Several close seconds include
Spirited Away
Black Jack
Perfect Blue
X
Knocking on Heavens Door
Endless Waltz

[Le Bread]

I have to add another movie to my list, even though it's one that's quite unpopular on this board. I personally loved Metropolis. To me it felt like Tezuka's take((or Rintaro's rather, he directed the movie)) on the Asimov-ian style of Robot literature. I found the characters to be completely charming, and was quite impressed with the animators ability to make Tezuka's art style fluidly mesh with the CGI backgrounds.

Normally I wouldn't have made a post like this, but I initially posted in this thread over a year ago, so I figured it was time for an update.

You took the words right out of my mouth, Le Bread. I loved the movie, and the characters were sooo charming. Everyone in the audience loved the movie when we saw it for the first time at FanimeCon; it received a standing ovation. How is that for a good review? :)

[Honda-san]

Well, my favourites are:
- Mononoke Hime
- Blood
- Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust
- X (I'm a CLAMP fan, but I still agree that the X movie isn't that great if compared to the TV series or the manga.)

[kaoru_neko]

testing...

[Toshiro]

GotF is my favorite anime Movie. It is just great, I don't see how many people couldn't like it. Emotion, art, music, everything really mixed well together.

[Balgus06]

I agree with Vicious0, GotF is just such a great movie, not just in anime but one that stands above most live action movies in terms of emotion and sending an anti-war message. Besides GotF i would also pick any Ghibli movie as they are all wonderfully imaginative and with very memorable characters

[Ecchi]

I haven't seen so many anime movies, but so far i would say "End of eva" is my fave.

[Airman]

Knockin' on Heaven's Door

[BlackJack]

Perfect Blue, Jin-Roh, and Cowboy Bebop Knock'n on Heavens Door

1. Poke'mon is not a movie, there have been a few movies but I really don't see how these could fit in to anyones "Best Anime Movie Ever" Catagory.... With the execption of them being 5+ years old.

2. Anime- A style of animation developed in Japan, characterized by stylized colorful art, futuristic settings, violence, and sex.

Hmmmmm.... Last time I checked "Spongebob Squarpants" as kitty calls it does not fit under the anime catagory and is also NOT a movie.

3. Comeon, I'm starting to get scared here, somebody needs to help her!!!

[Dtortot]

I dont think so because if you havent seen the series the movie doesnt make any sense.

The best movie is or should I say are: Wings Of Honneamise tied up with Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade

Sure Grave of the Fireflies is amazing, but WOH and Jin Roh are more enjoyable to watch than Grave of the Fireflies.

[Toshiro]

Yeah, that is true. If I was going for enjoyable it would have to be WoH and Jin Roh or Knock'n on Heavens door. But my favorite anime movies has to be GotF. I don't think he was asking best, although I would probably have said the same thing. :p

But yes, you are right, WoH is very enjoyable, although it had a couple of weird scenes (I.E. The Rape scene... wtf?)

[Dtortot]

With out that scene Vicious there would be no character develolment

[Toshiro]

OO I know what you mean. I was just saying it was a very weird scene.

[Balgus06]

Oh yeah Perfect Blue is my second choice....

[Mamimi]

1. Grave of the Fireflies
2. Spirited Away
3. Perfect Blue
4. Metropolis

(i know this is asking for my FAVORITE, but i gotta mention my others too haha)

[CashMachine]

My fav. anime movie is either Castle in The Sky or Princess Mononoke.

[Dirty Harry]

EYES of Mars... it was very environmental, but still a very good movie...

[Tenshi no Rakumei]

Cowboy Bebop: Knockin on Heaven's Door

damn good, damn damn good

[Zelkiiro]

My favorite anime movie, period, is Grave of the Fireflies. Next in line is Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro, and then Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust.

[Enix]

Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro

[rvx3452000]

I like the oldies:

Space Battleship Yamato:Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato

[Tank]

Knockin on Heaven's Door and Char's Counterattack.

[Tyrdium]

End of Evangelion. I've also seen Spirited Away, and that was great, but I'd have to say I liked End of Evangelion better.

[sketchrix]

Mine would be Akira and Knockin on Heaven's Door

[tribal_dragon]

Besides the often mentioned Studio Ghibli / Miyazaki movies, I'd have to put KOR's "I Want To Return To That Day" right up there as a personal favorite. Getting back to Ghibli / Miyazaki though... Castle of Cagliostro and Majo no Takkyubin (Kiki) have to be among my favorites.

[Alex]

I have different favorite movies for different moods. In any case, one that really made me go "wow" is Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. The visuals are just spectacular so it's a pure pleasure to watch. I like the plot too.

[Recoil]

Cowboy Bebop KoHD as of right now.

[Heimdal]

Grave of the Fireflies easily takes the spot for my favorite anime movie, with Mononoke Hime in second, and Perfect Blue following in third. I am also quite fond of Laputa: Castle in the Sky.

[LakiDash]

Akira, Castle of Cagliostro, Cowboy Bebop: KoHD, Laputa, and Vampire Hunter D.

[silan]

This one was hard, but Millennium Actress just barely edged out Grave of the Fireflies.

[soundchazer]

Kimagure Orange Road: I want to return to that day
Ocean Waves
Wings of Honneamise
Castle in the Sky
Perfect Blue

[Smitty]

Hands down it's Grave of the Fireflies for me.

;) Erin

[Shiva]

Princess Mononoke... a classic indepth movie in all respects

[.hack//BT]

Basically anything by Studio Gibli has a rather...poetic ending and is good in General. The only reason I could bear Appleseed is because I watched it with my dad who, as soon as he figured out how BAD it was, he started cracking jokes...and I haven't watched many movies, mostly TV shows...

[otaku527]

Char's Counter Attack

[Bushido]

whoa this is an ooolllld thread. awesome

ummm im not sure, maybe the escaflowne movie......just kidding
i guess i would have to say kiki's delivery service?

[JackO]

It has been done before i believe, hell im not even sure if i already posted in this thread but...
My favs are
Lupin III COC my first anime ever, ive loved it since
Millenium Actrss-Satoshi Kon works are all good
Perfect Blue-Kon strikes again
CB movie-near Pefect
Grave of the Fireflies-Even closer to perfect, its just amazing

I love so many! All three Tenchi movies were good, the Oh My Goddess Movie was good too; so was the Cardcaptor Sakura movies. And Sailor Moon S: Hearts in Ice was great!

[PirateKing]

Too many to count! A lot of the are Ghibli and/or Miyazaki, like Laputa: Castle In The Sky and Mononoke Hime. Jin-Roh was good, too. Cowboy Bebop and Ghost In The Shell are also on my list.

[Apaljoose]

Bebop - Knock'n

Also, Read or Die and Macross Plus, if you can consider their OVA compilations as movies.

[Taleweaver]

Grave of the Fireflies. And I don't think any anime movie's ever going to beat that one.

Yuri was the first to do such a thread to my knowledge, secondly that was the first time you posted in this thread.

Anyway welcome to AA yuri, im sure you will turn out to be one amazing forum user ;)!!!
Back on topic now, my favorite movie would have to be Laputa simply because its the most fun ive ever had watching anime.

[Golden Boy]

Well I haven't seen many movies, but all the movies I've seen were good:

Cowboy Bebop The Movie
Spirited Away
Princess Mononoke
Esacflowne The Movie

But, I have not seen Grave of the Fireflies...

[M.D Giest]

Cowboy Bebop: The movie
M.D Giest
Lupin the 3rd episode 0

[Nicko187]

One word "Akira" its what got me into this whole twisted world a long long time ago......

[kei_luvs_akio]

My favorite Anime movies are nearly all tied.

Tied for first place: Spirited Away and Utena:The Movie

Second place: Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz (OK, its technically an OAV but I can't get enough of GW)

Tied for third: Cowboy Bebop:Knocking on Heavens Door, Grave of the Fireflies, and Princess Mononoke

Long Live Studio Ghibli, Long Live Hayao Miyazaki!!!

[MizuCrystal]

EVA confused me to no end, that anime gave me a headach. Laputa cracked me up, that girl's braids got their own brains. Then there was the Kenshin movies... I fell asleep watching them. I like Spirited Away, Haku's dragon form was beautiful. But my fav. anime movies had to be the 7 Detective Conan movies. And yes, they've made seven of them. All which were worth watching.

Newbie in the Forum, so I'm just digging up old threads and posting... bored.

[LinaInverse0015]

My favorite movie is

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End Of Evangelion.

[ConfusedOne]

I'd have to say my Favorite movie would be Cowboy Bebop Knocking on Heavens Door. I really haven't seen a whole lot of anime movies, but this may change becuase I have Jin Roh on order rite now.

[Gouki101]

GTO and Hellsing all the way!

[ConfusedOne]

GTO and Hellsing don't have movies do they?

[Haven]

Miyazaki Films

Grave of the Fireflies

Vampire Hunter D 2000

Mobile Suit Gundam Trilogy

Macross Plus

Macross Do You Remember Love

End of Evangelion

[Kyoto Coconut]

Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heavens Door

[dark fuma]

X the movie just for the amount of un-need blood and death. (fu fu fu)

[Mouse]

I have too many favorites... but I'll go with Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigrade as #1 for today.

[Togusa]

I would have to say Mononoke Hime, Jin-Roh and Ghost in the Shell. I know not to many people liked Ghost in the Shell but I thouhgt it was awesome.

[Togusa]

I think GTO has a live action movie but anime no I don't think so, and neither does Hellsing.

[PrinceofPersia]

I want to see the Evangelion movie again i thought the ending was a little bad but overall i liked it.

[Zirilan]

I haven't seen too many, but of the one's I have seen my favorite would have to be Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz

[Ithurial]

Jin Roh all the way!!!!!

"As you can see he is nothing like you. Fuze is not a sheep like the rest of you, but a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing."
Poorly written Jin Roh Quote

[Whizz]

Grave of the fireflies
The cat returns
Whisper of the heart
Laputa: castle in the sky
Metropolis
My neighbour totoro
End of EVA
and the list might just keep on going but these will just do fine.

[Ceres]

For now, I think it would have to be Perfect Blue and Millennium Actress...I haven't seen any new anime lately, that's why. ^_^;

[Tamashii]

Quite an old thread. Kind of pointless, too. But heck, I'm bored.

Going to have to go with Grave of the Fireflies.

[Zaphod]

Yea, an old thread, but when you havent slept in 2 days, you don't really notice, or care, or whatever?

Anywho, Jin-Roh is always a good movie to watch
Grave of the Fireflies is good for making you feel luck to live
Milenium Actress is just phenominal
Most things Miyazaki.

Just to name what I can currently think of at the moment/...

[Benny_]

Best- Grave of the Fireflies
Favourite- Porco Rosso
Honourable mention- Cowboy Bebop Knockin' on Heaven's Door

[Risen Hell Fire]

favorite movie is princess mononoke. haven't seen grave of fire flies yet.

[Lavi]

i share a love-hate relationship with end of eva. It is amazing and makes you think a lot but i just hated the plot went and how it ended.

So i'll say CB or spirited away

[AlterGenesis-X]

Hm,
Castle in The Sky
Spirited Away.

The two that stand out.

[animeantoinette]

One word for me always when the question comes about, AKIRA!!
AKIRA!!! I love it so much! To me, (in my world) there is nothing better. I can watch it over and over and never get sick of it. Is 3 times every couple days to much? Nah...it's never to much, I never get enough! :mlove

[fugupinkeye]

Lately it is a toss up between Whisper of the Heart (fav for so long) and Millenium Actress, which, if you haven't seen, I highly recommend. And for the purists out there, even the R1 release has NO DUB. None could compare with the voice work on this one. In fact this is the best I have seen in a while. It will make even the heartiest of you out there cry.

[sakurazukamori]

End of Evangelion...definitely!

[Dustsman]

Ah! My Goddess

[Dimesion 12]

I would have to say. . . . .Armitage III Poly Matrix. Armitage III just had a really good story line to it, I mean, what could be better than a movie about people trying to destroy robots? Well thats just my opinion.

[Yurika Star]

Kikis and Wings Of Honneamise, still <3

This thread is teh sexy >_>

[Tremolo]

Holy shit, what a dinosaur of a thread.

Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door. Because of the butterflies.

[sakura_blossom]

I'll have to say Cardcaptor Sakura: The Sealed Card, I'm a huge CCS fan...so yeah^^ this thread sure is old

[Dirty Harry]

Tekken and Lupin III: The Mystery of Mamo....

[loplop]

Ghost In The Shell.

[genki sakura]

Princess Mononoke

But Laputa and CCS the Movie 2:The Sealed Card come close second and third...

[Yurika Star]

Tekken and Lupin III: The Mystery of Mamo....

I see something strange here, LUPIN 3 WTF?!?!

[ShinoMatrix]

Currently I really am into Appleseed movie... it's just awesome animation... a little flat on the story... but meh...

[Tsukushi]

I'm a big Miyazaki fan. I've enjoyed all his movies, so really can't choose one which stands above the others....

[Lupinthe3rd]

I have quite a few but I'll just give you two.

Lupinthe3rd: The Hemmingway Paper's

or

Yu Yu Hakusho: poltergiest report

[LazyBear]

Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away are my favorites with Laputa: Castle in the Sky in second.

[Mystic_Spike]

jin-roh

[Kagome654]

I forgot to mention, I liked Journey Aborad the Galactic Express as well....Blue and magenta kittens questioning life on a train full or weirdos, what’s not to love?

[Dennis]

Perfect Blue, Armitage: Dual Matrix, and Ah! My Goddess: The Movie. All of them kick ass for great stories and character design along with a srong female lead.

[Two-twenty]

Only Yesterday.
(Just to be different, a Ghibli film!)

I think I'm starting to like Takahata>Miyazaki.

[OtakuJ89]

Princess Mononoke. Fave movie of all time

[DarkKanti]

Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack

[Kiba]

Baisez encore l'actrice bien de Millenium d'ummm, parti Vif, la fin d'Evangelion, et princesse Mononoke.

[flclluva_123]

bebop movie ruled
but one thing is that, why is it so hard to kill people ?!?!?!?!

[Zirilan]

End of Eva is one of my favorites.

[Kagura]

Tokyo Godfathers, definitely

[JaQuais J.]

The Hijime no ippo movie, I forgot what it was called exactly. I absolutly love Hijime no ippo.

[aoi_n_asul]

cowboy bebop the movie and akira ........

[Lews Therin]

When it came out Akira, now probably Princess Mononoke or Kenshin.

[Erigion]

RahXephon the Movie.

Cause I'm a RahXephon whore.

[xamdbz01]

Ghost In The Shell 2

[Kaikyaku]

Whisper of the Heart. I find it to be a very inspiring story.

[aoi_n_asul]

tokyo godfathers and cowboy bebop
:acmaneat

oopsie, il have to edit this one...
aaak, sori bout that, i thought this was a new thread...really sori, il be doubly paranoid next time and check if i posted in a thread already...again my profuse apologies...

[Lews Therin]

I figure this is obvious but my favorite series is Berserk, and for movies Akira and Princess Mononoke.

[lucky]

let me start my lengthened list....
Puni Puni Poemi-dear god that was one hell of an anime...it made no sense!!!!1!!!!one!
coyboy bebop: knockin' at heavens door-it's bebop...it's a movie...it's a masterpeice.
Samurai X reflections-Could i cry any harder? I mean could i???
Battel angel alita-the future is grim, and cyborgs are awesome. that5s all there is to say...^^
Darkside blues-The story was so awesome...The scenes so full of emotion....The end...so unknown...^^
Nadesico the movie-ruri buri...you hold my heart.
Escaflowne the movie-I just loved it....The love between vaughn and Hitomi was something to marvel at...Or i thought so atleast....
VHD(original)-bloodlust was great, but i loved the original when i first say it in like 1993. thats nestalgia for you...^^

and last but not least
Princess Mononoke- it held so much meaning...it was beautifully made and beautifully written. god i love you kawazaki(i think thats his name....O.o;;)

[heffer]

Well to be honest I don't have a favorite anime movie, I perfer series/ova's over movies. This is because, on average anime movies (s*ck!) and you can't develope charcters as deeply in movie format.

If I had to pick one it would be - Perfect Blue

[lucky]

whoa....your credo mentions my name....^^ That's cool....very very cool...

[Natasmai]

Hm...mine would be Meitantei Conan III: Seikimatsu no Majutsushi.

[aoi_n_asul]

Well to be honest I don't have a favorite anime movie, I perfer series/ova's over movies. This is because, on average anime movies (s*ck!) and you can't develope charcters as deeply in movie format.

hope u dont mind but is anime movie actually different from OVA? how so? i always thought they were one and the same... :crono:

[heffer]

Well, OVA's are like mini series.

On average, there 3 - 6 episodes long, with episodes being between 20 - 40 minutes long.

[ohtori_akio]

My favourite is definitely the Utena movie and the worst was probably End of Evangelion. There you go, two example of movies with symbolism one great, one mediocre...

[blue_thunder]

My favorite anime movie i've seen is Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal. I would consider that one of the best movies, not just anime movies, that i have ever seen.

[Blackfire]

cowboy bebop. that was my favorite. favorite scene: when the cropdusters are flying

[Neon]

I like any anime movies except the pokemon series.

There is something strange about that genre, I have seen the first two movies they were okay, but after that it just went to crap.

[Bio]

1-LupinIII castle of cagliestro

2-GOTF

[Neon]

My current favorite anime flic is the Ghost in the Shell: Innocence.

I just resently saw it and i was blown away the graphics were great!

[tenchimasaki]

1. Tenchi Forever
2. Cowboy Bebop the Movie
3. Blood: The Last Vampire (Wish it was longer)

[Angry John]

1. Ghost in The Shell
2. MSN: Prince of Darkness
3. Cowboy Bebop
4. Dead Leaves (movie? OVA?....After School Special?)

[Lupin the 3rd]

cowboy bebop movie, ninja scroll, Akira, Castle Of Caglistro, My Neighbor Totoro, End of Evengellion, Porco Rosso,

[otaku]

cowboy bebop: knockin' on heavens door, princess mononoke, and (iuno if this counts) Daft Punk Iterstella 5555

[Akimichi Choji]

Does Animatrix count because if it does mine would have to be Cowboy Bebop

[Vinven]

Samurai X was a good one, but I really enjoyed A Chinese Ghost Story.

Vinven here btw, I'm er..special. yea.

[Sashi-senpai]

The Cat Returns is now fighting it out with Voices of a Distant Star and Totoro for my favorite movie :P

[Relentless]

Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust

[sohryu]

End of Evangelion, but Cowboy Bebop: The Movie is a really close second.

I'd call it Knockin' on Heaven's Door, but since I saw it in the states, it's stateside title is Cowboy Bebop: The Movie.

[Ghostmaster]

I recently saw Grave of the Fireflies and I must say I was moved to tears. I think it's one of the greatest anime films of all time. I really enjoy Ghibli Films as well, like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away.

[umi_amano]

Vision of Escaflowne and Samurai X the movie are my top faves!

[Roark]

Vision of Escaflowne and Samurai X the movie are my top faves!
I've never heard of an anime called Samurai X. Is it anyting like Rurouni Kenshin?

[madpierrot]

Ninja Scroll has to be my #1, that's an all time great in my opinion.

Others I'd put high, Cowboy Bebop Knockin' on Heavens Door, Samurai X Trust/Betrayal(though I think they might be OVA's, it's close enough), Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, the first two inu-yasha movies, and the Initial D movie.

[Agawa]

Vision of Escaflowne and Samurai X the movie are my top faves!

Samurai X is the Kenshin OVAs, that take place before the television series.

I would think my favorites would be;

Only Yesterday - One of the most beautiful, indepth, movies I've ever seen. If you ever want to watch something truly simple yet deep, or something that shows the beauty of life, check this out.


Pretty much anything by Studio Ghibli - But, especially Grave of the Fireflies, Laputa, Only Yesterday, and Kiki. And not Nausicaa. Ever.

Beyond the Clouds, The Promised Place - The most beautiful, stunning movie I've ever seen in terms of art and music. The atmosphere it creates is just stunning, and it actually uses the music to create mood. To boot, it's an excellent story. It's by Shinkai Makoto, the genius who did Voices from a Distant Star

Utena: Adolescence - This movie is trippy, but it is -good-. It also have the best music I've ever heard in a movie. If you feel like watching through a movie full of interpretations and subtle hints while still getting great characters and overall theme, check this out.

Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer - Tying in with the series, this movie takes the comedy and lovable nature of Urusei Yatsura, and adds something a bit deeper. This is also a great movie to just enjoy without having to cry your eyes out.

Samurai X is the Kenshin OVAs, that take place before the television series.I think you are referring to this (http://www.animeacademy.com/finalrevdisplay.php?id=1). But the original poster mentioned that it was a movie. Trust & Betrayal is an OVA (unless OVAs are somehow also being lumped under movies.)

Only Yesterday - One of the most beautiful, indepth, movies I've ever seen. If you ever want to watch something truly simple yet deep, or something that shows the beauty of life, check this out.This is my second favorite Takahata. The flashback scenes are a joy to behold, though grownup Taeko isn't as interesting as childhood Taeko. The pacing is a little too slow at some points, but the ending is just phenomenonal.


Pretty much anything by Studio Ghibli - But, especially Grave of the Fireflies, Laputa, Only Yesterday, and Kiki. And not Nausicaa. Ever.Why the hatred for Nausicaa? And where's Sen, Mononoke, Porco, Mimi...hell I love them all, except GotF.

There was quite a lot of dead space (what others might call "mood") and the quick passage of several years at a time created a very disjointed feeling. The animation is stunning however.

Thanks for pointing out my mistake.

To tell you the truth, I honestly didn't find the pacing to be a problem in that movie. (Whisper of the Heart, on the other hand...) However, I can understand it just being too boring for some people. Still, it emphasizes for me why I feel Takahata to have some of the best developed movie characters.
As for the Ghibli movies, I love them all, true. (Besides the aforementioned Nausicaa, and The Cat Returns, which I have yet to see.) However, Nausicaa was just too much of a disappointment to me. You see, I can understand how this could be a great movie to some people. I can even see why. But, here's the thing. When I read the Nausicaa manga, there was absolutally no question in my head that this was the best manga I'd ever read, and it still is. That's not to say it's my favorite, but I still think it's by far the best.
So, to me the movie was a huge disappointment. I can understand its appeal, but the manga spoiled it for me. I just can't get past the shortcomings in it compared to the manga, unfortunatly.

On The Promised Place? To tell you the truth, I really have nothing to say to that. While I found it to be amazing and insightful, I can get how your point of view. I guess it's a take it or leave it thing.

Samurai X is the Kenshin OVAs, that take place before the television series.

Apparently, some people on teh intarweb don't get sarcasm.

Heh. I fail at teh sarcasm, I ought to take a class.

[currywu]

(Whisper of the Heart, on the other hand...)You don't like Whisper of the Heart? Somewhere, a Totoro is crying.

I just can't get past the shortcomings in it compared to the manga, unfortunatly.Actually, Nausicaa is quite low on my list of Miyazaki favorites. I think it aged the least gracefully out of all his movies. And like Miyazaki, I had a major problem with the ending. I read parts of the first volume of the manga but lost interest. To be honest, I've never been a huge manga person. But I have heard often about how much better it is than the movie. Which is expected, that a piece of work which consumed more than a decade of Miyazaki's life would have far more depth and substance than a two hour movie.

[Agawa]

You don't like Whisper of the Heart? Somewhere, a Totoro is crying.
I was talking about the pacing in Only Yesterday, and how I thought it was fine. So I was implying (if badly) that I wasn't happy with Whisper's timing. I actually love that movie- it's just that I find the last 10 minutes to be badly paced, and way to fast.
Which is expected, that a piece of work which consumed more than a decade of Miyazaki's life would have far more depth and substance than a two hour movie.

That's quite true. Although I still find it a bit sad that me (and many others) just can't enjoy the movie because the manga was so good.

[A-R@D]

My favorite anime movie by far is Porco Rosso. The story line... the incredible visuals... What more could you ask for?

And yep, I was not too thrilled with the ending initially. It seemed way too rushed and out of left field. After repeat viewings, it's grown on me a bit, and I've come to accept Miyazaki's explanation (http://nausicaa.net/miyazaki/mimi/faq.html#proposal).

Well, I was actually a bit more upset with the rest of the pacing, and how quickly it concluded. To tell you the truth, I liked the marriage proposal. It's still nice to hear his explaination though. Thanks for the link.

[ash_chan]

Other than the Miyazaki Classics, my Fave Anime Movie would have to be Ah! Megamisama! (the movie, obviously)

[oompa loompa]

although it was only about forty minutes long I'd say Blood: the last vampire........ although I didn't like the loose ends......

but then again My favorite with no downfalls is vampire hunter D

[animefreek_CM]

i'll go out on a limb here and say Ninja Scroll. the animation is so fluid and the old dude is funny. why that is out on a limb, i don't know...

[umi_amano]

Oh! I forgot the Cowboy Bebop movie! Its really cool!

[JOJO]

My favorite has to be Vampire Hunter D, I never get bored of watching it.

[WhiteSabareWolf]

my favs are Innoncence and M. Actress

[Sasuke311]

Great Kamisama! Grave of the Fireflies not only has to be one of the greatest anime movies (my personal favorite) but also has to be one of the greatest animated masterpieces of all time. It's one of the most heart-breaking tragedies on film: even more so if you think about the children that really had to go through such hardships during that horrible period. This is my favorite movie!
