yo khv its time to recommend

me some anime movies.

Okay so there are some guidelines

• It must be a movie.
• Not something like Naruto movie 12 or whatever ****. I'm talking standalone movies or movies that don't tie into a larger franchise, but that doesn't exclude movies that created a franchise or were adapted from a manga. If you're not sure, go ahead and list them anyway.
• Nothing Miyazaki or Ghibli. I'm looking for slightly more obscure stuff.
• Nothing Makoto Shinkai.
• i want it to be at least kinda good..

I've seen these:
Akira
5 Centimeters per Second
Children who Chase Lost Voices
Grave of the Fireflies
The Garden of Words
Metropolis
Redline
Tsumiki no Ie

things I already plan to watch. maybe. eventually.
Ghost in the Shell
Summer Wars
Jin-Roh
Wolf Children
Paprika
Tokyo Godfathers
Colorful (I got halfway through this and didn't like it but I'll give it another chance)

 

• Ghost in the Shell (like, how have you not seen this?)
  
• Little Witch Academia (super short)
• Mind Game (one of the trippiest movies ever; ironic that I watched it with KH-Vids people)
• The Place Promised in Our Early Days (same director who did 5 Centimeters per Second)

All I've got that fits the criteria...yeah I need to watch more anime movies.

 

Ghost is on the list of things to watch.
guess i should edit OP with things I plan to watch as well
i've been waiting to watch the last one for like 4 weeks but just haven't gotten around to it

 

Digimon: The Movie

/thread

 

Summer Wars
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Both by Mamoru Hosoda

Both are beautifly animated films. Summer Wars is a good family film, as in it says something deep about family, while Girl is a fun scifi story that takes liberties with time travel. Personally, I like Girl more, but I have almost all of Summer Wars memorized.

The director of the films also did Digimon: Our War Fame, which is why a lot of the plot is very similar, but the two films are vastly different.

 

Tekkonkinkreet
Perfect Blue (Satoshi Kon film)
Gunbuster
Diebuster
Sword of the Stranger
Metropolis
Brave Story
Kara no Kyoukai (it's a series of seven movies of varying lengths)
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Gurren-hen and Lagann-hen (although I'd recommend watching the series first)
One Piece: Strong World (JUST WATCH IT!)

That's all I think of at the moment.

 

Dude, I was watching some anime movies last night and was gonna make this exact topic. Damn.

Oh well I guess I'll just perch here and steal yr recs

Anyway try these;

Summer Days with Coo
Memories (a collection of 3 stories- Magnetic Rose/Stink Bomb/Cannon Fodder) [v obscure]

 

almost everything i wanted to say was already listed... but you should definitely watch Jin-Roh, Summer Wars, and Wolf Children. All 3 of them are great! Perfect Blue and Sword of the Stranger are a must.

now the ones i wanted to recommend that haven't been already are Appleseed and its sequel, Appleseed Ex Machina. There is a third movie coming out on BD later this month as well which I am super excited for.

i'll warn you though, Appleseed is CGI. the first movie has the best artstyle imo because of the cel-shaded look that Ex Machina abandoned for whatever dumb reason. still good tho.

i lied i remembered some:
karas: the revelation
the sky crawlers
patlabor 1 and 2
steamboy
blood: the last vampire
ocean waves
millennium actress
origin: spirits of the past
nitaboh
sky blue
vexille

all of these are at least decent and worth watchin'

 

Appleseed
Tekkonkinkreet
Dead Leaves
Steam boy
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

 

shrek 2

 

Seconding all of these. And...

Pale Cocoon
Eve no Jikan (Film or series)

 

Lets not forget all the Pokemon films.

 

Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door (Not a TV show tie-in)
+1 Paprika
+1 Tokyo Godfathers
+1 Dead Leaves
+1 Sword of the Stranger
+10,000 Summer Wars

 

guys Pokemon movies would be excluded with the first condition. Besides, I've seen most of them. Same with One Piece movies (didn't like Strong World anyway). Cowboy Bebop would as well, but I already planned to watch that at some point so it's w/e. Thanks for the recommends, though.

 

did you watch any of them yet :v

 

I don't know why, but this genuine interest cracked me up

 

All I've got is Black Rock Shooter (where I got my avy). There is a lot of BRS stuff, but they don't connect to each other. Just got the same kinda theme to it.

 

only one. I watched The Place Promised in Our Early Days which Haya recommended. But I was about to watch it anyway so it kinda doesn't count. I'll prob watch Ghost in the Shell next, which Haya also recommenced. I'm not playing favorites I swear. After that I'll probably watch Jin-Roh. I want to watch Summer Wars but I'm waiting for the right moment. All of these are things I already planned so after those I'll start going through and picking things that interest me. I take a long time to watch anime.

 

hurry and watch Jin-Roh and Summer Wars. they're so so so good :x i understand though, i'm incredibly slow at watching anything.
