they can be series or movies the stuff i like: Samurai Champloo Samurai X (kenshin) Spirited away Paprika nausicaa Hellsing Howls moving castle castle in the sky so basicly I want stuff that is designed properly lots of action, robots, samurais... a good story. I've seen allot of the popular anime movies. I'm looking for some less known stuff. |

I don't like anime really but the 2 best anime I've seen in the last year are Tekkon Kinkreet and Grave of the Fireflies. Tekkon Kinkreet is pretty unconventional as anime goes. kinda crudely drawn characters but still breathtaking animation. for example there is a really great "time lapse" of an apple tree growing during the end credits. also the soundtrack is amazing, done by Plaid. I find the story quite heartbreaking but a lot of people consider it convoluted and overly philosophical...? Warning: Grave of the Fireflies is the saddest anime you'll ever see and probably one of the saddest war films ever as well. but its still an amazing film anime or not. |

I think that Death Note is the best anime I have ever seen and there ever has been, as far as I'm concerned. No joke. It is not your average action packed anime and there's no boobs, but the script is air fucking tight! It really is almost unbelievably amazing! It is about this boy who finds a notebook, which he uses to kill criminals in order to purge the world of evil. When he does this, people try to find out who keeps killing people. It could be called a 'slow-burner', I guess. It's fucking birlliant though- check out reviews on anime sites if you don't believe me. I can barely believe it hasn't been mentioned on here. To summarise, WATCH DEATH NOTE, IT IS FANTASTIC! |

i saw spirited away today. was pretty good but weird. ( and mysterious cites of gold long ago) are there any other stories that are not gun violence related worth watching? guns are just so boring. although that latest rambo film was kick ass. haha |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah i like the nice innocent character stuff ...like th girl in 'spirited away' any more? |

if you want something totally weird try FLCL (which is what my current avatar came from) if you want something dark and suspenseful try Paranoia Agent if you want something long and redundant try Inuyasha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool shall try and find flcl :) how about innocent adventure magical type ? like spirited away i realy liked the girl the way a she seemed so kind even to those that hurt her. very forgiving and innocent. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ooh i love all studio ghibli ones |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you loved Spirited Away, try other Hayao Miyazaki films (Howl's Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke). Both share that magical adventure quality you're seeking. |
||||||||

woo hoo thanks !! did you ever see mysterious cities of gold? in the uk it was on twice a week for about a year it is soo great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FLCL is really fun, and I have a few friends who are obsessed with Death Note, so those would be my two recommendations. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I haven't seen THAT much anime, but of what I have seen, Hayao Miyazaki's films are the best. |

freqy: MCoG was released as a DVD Box Set in 2007. Last weekend I watched 'Whispers of the Heart', which is a Miyazaki film from the mid-90s. It was excellent, and is definitely amongst my favourite Ghibli films, alongside Ocean Waves, Spirited Away, Grave of the Fireflies and Totoro. Tractern: Have you seen the Death Note movie? |

Download a Studio Ghibli torrent (the people that made spirited away). I really don't like their new stuff as much as the old, because the old ones are really good. Nausica is awesome, castle in the sky, and lupin (all somehow involving the guy that did spirited away) are very good ! |

Whoops re read your post you have seen most of them ! El Hazard has that adventurist type feel, Ranma 1/2 is always a great classic aswell. |

Serial Experiments Lain - a great mindfuck Boogiepop Phantom - another great mindfuck Key the Metal Idol - yet another great mindfuck I've seen A LOT of anime and I have to mention these three every time. If you haven't seem then yet, do it. Do it now. |

I have also seen allot of anime tv shows and movies,i liked rurouni kenshin too, really cool character's, i'm in love with kaoru...^_^ i recommend you watch Chobits, it's got a nice atmosphere about it, not really dark in anyway, but it's addictive and fun.. |

vampire hunter D still goes down as one of my favs |

well thanks for the recommendations. i've checked out allot of them on youtube. though if i'm honest I haven't found anything that has really sparkt my intrest after watching some youtubes. I dunno I think allot of them lack a unique visual style. I've seen tekkon kinkreet a while ago. I really like that. so does kenshin. and samurai champloo. definitly my twoo favorite animes these two had the perfect balance between "seriousness" and fun. and where visually very pleasing and animated really well. I'm watching basilisk right now. it's kinda like kenshin but without the fun and humor. Don't like it that much. but the animation is ok. i remember serial experiments lain from a couple of years ago. might pick that up again. ergo proxy looks pretty cool aswell. I've heard good stories about Death Note, might check that out. grave of the fireflies looks like a nice anime. though I don't like sad endings... patlabor looks a wee bit too old skool for my taste. cool themesong though :) Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann looks ok. but I don't like the parts where they put allot of attention to the boobs and all. though I might pick it up. but story wise it's not that good. a bit too easy. Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei I didn't like. I watched a youtube clip and nothing seemed to happen. FLCL didn't interest me at first. but now that I watch again it did spark my intrest. Ranma 1/2 is definitly not the type of anime I like. too fluffy and pink and very cheap looking. need to take a good look at el hazard. hmm maybe there isn't that much really good anime around. |

I'm being overly critical maybe... do keep them coming. I also liked the old batmen the animated series. aswell as the more recent "batman of the future" ones. but halfway through the animation became of lesser quality. |

be it a Miyazaki roundup then |

"Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei I didn't like. I watched a youtube clip and nothing seemed to happen." Yeah, the show is like that -- nothing much happens, but it doesn't happen in a good way. I'm not sure if it can be accurately represented in a youtube clip. The boob focus in Tengen Toppa is a passing phenomenon, and I found that the show developed quite well. The story at the start may seem a bit standard, but it changes at some point. It remains rather absurd, throughout, though. If you find you have some time to spare, I would recommend giving it a go. Also Battle Angel Alita 009-1 is ok. It doesn't have a particularly compelling story, but it has some style. Not unique, but nice. I'm not sure about Kemeko DX yet, but it seems like it could be ok, at least. May not suit your tastes, though. Have Pom Poko and Porco Rosso been mentioned yet? Ghibli, and great ones at that. Pumpkin Scissors could be worth a go. Spice and Wolf Cromartie High |

If my memory hasn't betrayed me completely, I can almost assure you that Patlabor is worth your time. It's a great thriller from the 80s by Mamoru Oshii. Give it a try, man! :) |
