i need some recommendations of anime movies. ive watched princess mononoke and absolutely loved it one of my favorites by faaar, since then ive been trying to find something similar to that. ive watched spirited away which was nice, howls moving castle which was good but the ending was too crazy for me, i didnt like valley of the wind and grave of fireflies was just too depressing. so im looking for something like princess mononoke style. something magical not futuristic and not too damn depressing. can anyone help me?

I know a great hardcore anime movie named Ogenki Clinic. I recommend!
It's the adult kind though.

Berserk was INSANE. I bought the Box of War. there NEEDS TO BE A SECOND SEASON.
The Samurai X -> Reflection etc movies of Kenshin are wild , still working on the series, up to episode 60 or something
loved Trigun too. Womanizing drunkard. I can relate to him hehe.
Heres a list of ones ive seen and would recommend
Akira
Berserk (hard to describe)
Blood of the Last Vampire
Blue Gender (tight idea, also explores human relationships)
Cowboy Bebop + Knockin on Heavens Door movie
Evangelion + End of Evangelion (Interesting series , im sure youve heard that end kind of sucked, but still worth the rest of the series to watch)
Escaflowne the movie (watch this and youll be perfectly sad. beautiful movie)
Ghost in the Shell
Hellsing (badass, short series, but insanely compressed badassness)
Jin-Roh (Youll only watch this a few times in your life, but each time...intense drama exploring psyche of a military killer and revolutionaries. Post WWII Japan, but this time the Germans had won.)
Kenshin (All the Kenshins...you better be tough when watching these...and alone)
Naruto (Funny and creative. Everything just works. Ninja lad training to become a master.)
Ninja Scroll
Perfect Blue (Mind Screw)
Serial Experiments:Lain (another mind screw)
Spriggan (tight)
Trigun (drunk womanizer. some wild shit happens.The boys got skills)
Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust (beautiful and touching. With some crazy vampire fighting.)
Witch Hunter Robin
Wolf's Rain (really original idea. Wolves searching for paradise. Can look like humans to people though. Incredibly strong.)
I suggest reading the berserk manga as well.
Samurai Champloo is a recent favorite of mine.

However, the first movie was REALLY good! Highly recommended even if you haven't ever seen Naruto.

yeah a lot of people bitch about naruto. The stretching is an effect they do on purpose. When you have all 132 you can just blaze through. My friend hadnt seen it and we watched 32 episodes yesterday. It just sucks waiting a week hehe.
