Favorite Anime MOVIE of all time
- Thread starter Mo
- Start date
Certain movies like End of Evangelion, Jin-Roh the Wolf Brigade, Princess Mononoke and Wings of Honneamise have been at the top of my list for years, but having finally seen Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence a while ago, I must probably name it as my new favorite. I know it is not for everyone's tastes, but I heartily recommend it to anyone seeking a mature, thought-provoking anime-movie.
Other good but not quite perfect anime-movies (in my opinion) are Spirited Away, Patlabor 1, Tokyo Godfathers and the original Ghost in the Shell. Ninja Scroll is not very high on my list, even though it is a decent action-flick.

I went and got appleseed - didn't like it much (although the graphics were awesome).... i really didn't like ghost in the shell either; 2 was a lot better. Princess Mononoke was really good too... If you're into action seens Final Fantasy VII was great; the fights in it were some of the best I've ever seen - story line wasn't my style though... animatrix was freakin' weird - waste of money.
Walter, Berserk is an anime isn't it? Surely you didn't go through all the trouble of building and maintaining this place for a sucky cartoon
I find movies better because everything is over and donewith in 2hours max; when you're short on time and want a quick fix of entertainment, a movie is the way to go

Of course not, it was all for a terrific, engrossing and deep manga, not the anime that fails to live up to its source material.
Anyway, mine is End of Evangelion. Appleseed was alright, but it was a little weird. I have yet to see either of the Ghost in the Shell movies, out of sheer laziness.
ninja scroll, oh yes... i have yet to see a stand alone anime movie that can top it...
how could anyone not put the rambo of the far east on the top of their list?
i didnt like appleseed at all... i had trouble keep interest in it and eventually fell asleep... the cell shaded cgi left to much to be desired... when animating old school its acceptable to not have hair move in a realistic fashion but when its cgi, that whole plastic mold hair just doesnt fly... ff7ac had quite nice hair movement while still holding that nice form... just the right amount of moose i guess... appleseed? too much
anyone notice that the aeon flux movie completely stole appleseeds plot?

Thanks Grail!
Shucks, this is a toughie! My first anime movie I ever seen was VHD and it holds a special place in my heart along with Akira. But I have to say my fave is still Perfect Blue.
Skabbius
Rotting Flesh
Fist of the North Star/Hokuto no Ken
Vampire Hunter D (Both)
Ghost in the Shell (original)
Ninja Scroll
Akira
Battle Royal High School
Golgo 13: The Professional
Riki-Oh Part 1 & 2 (sure it is a OAV, but I like it too much to leave out)
L.I.L.Y. Cat
That is really all I can think of right now.

::)
Anyway some of mine are Akira, GITS and Ninja scroll. Classics are hard to beat.
If Ninja scroll 2 is ever madeI have hope that it'll be on my list. Anime News Network seems to think Yoshiaki Kawajiri is working on it in preproduction but IMDB doesn't have any info on his current projects. Not too confident on it being any more than a rumour.

Yeah I got emotional after watching Grave of the Fireflies as well; couldn't believe I wasted $40 on buying such a boring movie, teary eyes and everything. :'(
I never got the love of Ninja Scroll. There are far superior action anime movies but yet people still love that movie claiming it to be the best action anime out there when there are about 3 real fights in the entire movie.
