Best Anime

With my general theme regarding movies, what is your favorite anime? Mine is Princess Mononoke, but I just saw Spirited Away last night. OMG EVERYONE SHOULD SEE IT! Im a huge fan of Miyazaki, granted, but even if you dont like Anime, go with something by him. Try it. Youll like it.

Always been partial to Cowboy Bebop myself. But then again, all I ever do is watch the Cartoon Network nowadays.

Oh yeah, cowboy bebop is the shit.

Ghost in the Shell

DBZ, Cowboy Bebop, Record of Lodoss War (the first set...second one is crap), Robot Circus (dunno if you can even find that anymore), Iria and the Zarem saga...Trigun is pretty good, more comedy than anything...hee hee i like anime

I have been looking for Aria forever, and I can never find it. If you know of a good place to pirate it, Im all ears

hee hee hee...i bought mine at Suncoast...and its Iria, not Aria, that might aid you in your search a little lol...mines 3 VHS tapes long but i think you can get it in DVD too...theres a live-action movie that really sucks ass (its japanese, what can you expect) so make sure you don't pick that up by accident...

I just saw FLCL (furi-kuri!) and it's suddenly become my current favorite. It's funny, weird, stylish, has great action scenes, and is occasionally emotional. Usually I don't even like the cuter type stuff, but this won me over.

question.. what's so great about spirited away?

answer... NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay... seriously.. that was just not a good movie... the only reason i can see why everyone is jumping up this movies ass is cos disney bought it out or some shit... in my opinion that movie had a lame story, the characters were annoying and well, as for the fat ass witch lady that ran the bath house... what was with the introducing her twin sister out of nowhere?

to this day nothing beats vampire hunter D... blood lust and the first one stand head and shoulders above every anime i've seen in terms of story, characters and action... granted robotech rocks too, and akira is fucking a maesterwurk, no one can fuck with D

HEY ANIME PEOPLE!

i mentioned Robot Circus earlier, which is a kickass anime but i haven't seen it since i was like 12 and it came on the Sci-Fi channel's Saturday Anime block...so i got curious to see if i could find it again, but i can't find it ANYWHERE online...i did a Google, AskJeeves search and the best i found was some dude selling 2 cels from the original anime...and Kazaa has nothing...anybody have a copy of it laying around somewhere? please?

I'm not sure that this counts as real anime, but it's still very cool:

Dude, Im not even going to sink to your level and try to even fathom why anyone could possibly think that spirited away was bad. Instead, I am gonna KICK YOU IN THE JUNK!!!

Well, my associates have just informed me that it is near impossible to KICK SOMEONE IN THE JUNK!!! over the internet. But xMachinax (if that is your real name!) you have started a fued, oh yes, a blood fued. So if your man enough, meet behind the malt shop at noon tommorow! No no wait, I cant skip school or my mom will have my ass. Ummm hows three oclock?

04) akira
05) streetfighter II: the movie

i like amime but have got to see alot but i like ghost in the shell, leagond of the over feend movies vampire hunter d

My overall faveorite. And it has great music by the Pillows.

Ooh, some good stuff posted. My favorites so far have been Princess Mononoke, Escaflowne, Evangelion, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (never really liked the original) and Lain, although I haven't finished it yet. I've heard good things about Spirited Away, but haven't seen that yet, either.

On a different note, what was the first anime you guys have seen? Mine was Bio-Booster Armor Guyver, also made into a live-action movie. And unless I'm thinking of something else, the movie version of Iria came out first, so we have that crappy live-action movie to thank for the much-improved cartoon.

I love cowboy bebop and akira
ghost in the shell of course
and robotech!

My first Anime was bubblegum crisis when I was 7 or so, and I remember it had naked chicks and HOO BOY that was a trip back then.

My favorite anime's are Evangelaion, Cowboy Bebob (the best anime seris I've ever seen), I like both Vampire Hunter D's and the animation was outstanding in Bloodlust. Princess Mononoke, Metropolis (best Anime movie I've seen), His and Her Circumstance,.

As for the first anime, i think it was Voltron when I was a kid.

spirited away
akira
ghost in the shell

best i've seen...

Battle Angel Alita and Silent Mobius are the only anime that count. And only subbed fool!

Another vote for Ghost in the Shell...Blood of the Vampire was beautiful but seriously lacking in plot...Vampire Hunter D is a close second.

You've gotta see Bastard, that's some cool anime. Lupin III is also pretty cool. But by far, the deepest anime, story-wise, has gotta be the Robotech movies.
I don't think it's considered anime, but the art in Samurai Jack kicks ass.

in my normal friday night drunken stupor, i fell aslep watching akira last night. its a classic, but leads to disturbing dreams when used like that.
princess mononoke is really good. better than i expected.
i love cowboy bebop. cant wait for the movie.
