none of those are new dude.

my faves..

ninja scroll - ninja never looked so good.

ghost in the shell - futuristic and philosophical

the castle of cagliostro - classic thief meets girl caper. proves that minus all the gore, sex, violence.. you can still have a fun and entertaining story.

neon genesis evangelion - now this is crazy stuff

animatrix - the men behind the matrix trilogy got a bunch of legendary anime directors to direct individual episodes, and you'll be able to recognise their styles pretty quickly if you've seen any of their work.

mysterious cities of gold - not so much from the manga animation house, but the best animated series i have ever seen. saw it when i was in primary school and still remember it till this day. too bad the only dvd version of it is in french.

...

in my collection:

spirited away
wicked city

...

yet to see:

lain serial experiment

...

check out Anime Web Turnpike - great online Anime resource.

Originally posted by Psygnosis Spirted Away - I didn't even want to view this film cause people said it was a kids movie... haha how wrong they are. This movie is fuckin crazy and love how awesome the drawings are... the characters are not fictional but damn thats one crazy lineup of characters they have. Simply awesome stuff!!

something about this movie, i got so emotionally involved i cried. and i dont usually cry cos im so masculine and strong and stuff...

errr so psyg mate, you say it's NOT fictional? rightio.

Oh yeh oops hehe... i guess it IS fictional . It's both in some kind of way

Yeh Spirted Away was real emotional... and hilarious. I think i saw the movie a couple of times when i got it, definetly the coolest films in such a long time.

i just ordered Princess Mononoke, heard people give this great reviews as being on of the best Manga masterpieces. And also getting Porco Rosso, hahah this is one of the funniest animes ever made IMO, i think it was shown on SBS like 3-4 years ago, maybe longer but had only caught the last 15 minutes of it.. omg, laughed and laughed and laughed.

eRRatik, damn still gotta see Caste of Cagliostro, it's a preview in practically all Manga stuff but i dunno, something puts me off about the film, maybe the drawings.

haha damn how can i forget Ghost In The Shell, i think that was the first Anime i ever saw i think, those drawings are so neat and clear...

btw, where is Wings Of Honnaemise.. it was never released here?? never seen the movie but the reviews and previews look bloody awesome.

I don't mind a bit of manga, though I wouldn't really call myself a fan...

Spirited Away and Akira are both excellent films though

not really into manga either but have you seen the scene in kill bil [vol. 1]?? quite graphic!

Whats doing it for me:
Astrix - On Fire (HoMega)

>> Listen to April hard dance demo <<

do u mean xxx mangas?

Manga = Comic / Graphic Novel
Anime = Japanese animation / cartoons


Yeah, I'm a anime/manga freak.

Guys, get ready for APPLESEED. A new si-fi movie [similar to GiTS] with a crazy soundtrack [Oakie, Basement Jaxx, DaftPunk and more,made tracks exclusively for the moviee]

Princess Mononoke is a masterpiece Psy! It thrashed Titantic in box office records in Japan and was the highest grossing movie ever until the same production company released Spirited Away.

Ninja Scroll = Movie is a classic, the TV series was a big let-down - the begining was great, but things got really sloppy after the first few episodes.
A live action Ninja Scroll movie is in the works.

X: The TV-series is brilliant - shit, talk about deep emotional stuff. The movie was quite bad though [although the animation quality and action scenes were top notch] - they tried to fit the whole series into 90minutes. Best to read the manga.

Ive got a few faves though in truth i havent watched any anime for a while now, so all mine are pretty old!

Ghost in the shell - awesome, awesome movie - nuff said.

Hellsing - A vampire flick with very cool animation and an awesome main charachter.... all round top anime!

Outlaw Star - A great series that i found to be really fun. Basically about space pirates.

Cowboy Bebop - Fucking awesome series. just the right mixture of blood and comedy!

Geneshaft - The best animation of any series ive seen, at times you forget your watching animation!! Unfortunately at last check only 3 episodes were dubbed into english and as i dont speak japanese. *shrugs*
