DISCUSSION: Official Anime Movie of FFR.

[Squeek]

I left the sticky incomplete for a long time. It's time we got to choosing this.

http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=24869 was the thread for Anime Series. This is the one for Anime Movie.

I haven't seen that many movies to be honest. I'll pretty much stay out of this.

And no, Advent Children doesn't count. I won't count votes toward this movie.

~Squeek

[GuidoHunter]

I nominate:

End of Evangelion
Castle of Cagliostro
Perfect Blue
NINJA SCROLL (!!!)
Dragon Half
Puni Puni Poemi

And can we count Go Nagai's failed series as movies? Two or four episodes should work. Plus, one even concludes.

If so, I also nominate Devil Man and Kekko Kamen.

What are you talking about? Puni Puni Poemi(y) wasn't a movie. It was a one dvd series with 3 episodes I think. Anyway, hands down my vote for Official Anime Movie is End of Evangelion. I personally had a chance to view it over the summer and I was definitely blown away.

[Squeek]

Dragon Half
Puni Puni Poemi

OAVs. Not movies. Both were 2 episodes long.

As a note for future reference, ROD was not a movie either. It was a 3-episode OAV.

No love for any Miyazaki films?

:(

[iPatcH]

Galaxy Angel

Well, that's a no-brainer.

I have 3. Seen 0. They've been there for a good year or so now.

I just don't have time for movies.

[Kilgamayan]

Di Gi Charat - A Trip to the Planet

[Chromer]

Hold on. When the hell was Pita-Ten ever voted to become the offical manga? I think you should revoke that and make an entirely new thread for that because IMO I strongly believe there are better manga than Pita-Ten.

[GuidoHunter]

It seems we have different definitions of anime movies then.... (Although, I totally understand where you're coming from)

And Casey, I did list Castle of Cagliostro. It wasn't his creation, but it was his work, as far as I'm concerned. He made Lupin into what Lupin should be. Plus, Spirited away, Castle in the Sky, and Howl's Moving Castle are AMAZING, but I just wanted to keep with the ones I listed.

Kilga slid it in. I didn't remove it because my edit of his edit doesn't make sense without it.

Rest assured, we will take a poll for manga too. Kilga can't have his way without a poll.

Unless he edits it everytime I fix it.

~Squeek

[Kilgamayan]

I did no such thing.

I call shenanigans.

[Sol_Solis]

Yu-Gi-Oh: The Movie.

[GuidoHunter]

You also forgot My Neighbor Totoro. ^_^

And Kiki's Delivery Service and Princess Mononoke and a number of others. I just put the ones that I've seen and thought should be there.

Even though the Evangelion series (including the movies) literally chanced my life, I don't think it should be nominated since the movie is actually just a re-release of the last two episodes of the series and is not a stand-alone movie.

My vote goes for Millenium Actress. The most beautiful anime-movie I have seen. However, if no one else votes for it, I will change my vote to Spirited Away.

[monkey_henry]

ALL THREE OF THE POKEMON ONES!!! just kidding
spirited away for sure
i dont like Millenium Actress much

[Tasuke]

Tokyo Godfathers.
or Ghost in the Shell.
or Spirited Away

[lord_carbo]

Something mainstream, maybe from 4kids sounds good.... English dub too....

[Squeek]

The thing is, we don't LIKE (crappy) mainstream here. Because it tends to SUCK.

The only "mainstream" movies even worth mentioning are Knockin' on Heaven's Door (The Cowboy Bebop movie) and the two Ghost in the Shell movies. Mainstream here means they were on Cartoon Network and apply mainly to a "dub rox" audience like you. End of Eva isn't mainstream and it cannot work on its own. It requires that you watch the series first to get it, and the series hasn't aired on CN to the best of my knowledge.

Which is why some lesser-known Miyazaki films would be a good choice. Better yet, films that people don't hear much about like Grave of the Fireflies or Beyond the Clouds.

~Squeek

PS - Fixed to accomodate bottom post.

[Kilgamayan]

Saying we don't like mainstream is incorrect.

We don't crappy mainstream. FLCL, for example, is by no means crappy.

[GuidoHunter]

Knockin' on Heaven's door just seemed like an extended episode of Cowboy Bebop to me. That is: nothing special.

And at least some episodes of EVA were shown on CN.

Grave of the Fireflies is the best goddamn anime ever.

[Varia]

I was gonna put Grave of the Fireflies O:

Sita...I made rice cakes for you...

[lord_carbo]

Grave of the Fireflies is the best goddamn anime ever.

Oh shi.... I totally forgot about that anime. I don't like most Anime, but that is one of the few I like, and the only one besides Naruto that I'd d/l. I remember seeing it mentioned on Bemanai style, saw it, and it was spiffeh, but I forgot about it after uninstalling Limewire.

But why do many here dislike Cowboy Bebop, and why does everyone everywhere else regard it as the "best anime ever?" Although not the greatest Anime, it's a pretty goddamn good show and you can't deny it or you are quite stubborn on your belief that all Animes brought to America are the sucky ones.

[Chromer]

Grave of The Fireflies IMO is overrated. I have two choices for nominees: Interstellar 5555 and Akira. Interstellar 5555 is a stand alone music video/anime based off of Daft Punk's Discovery album, and quite literally Akira is the one anime that changed the way people viewed Japanese animation forever.

[Varia]

Shut up, your mom is overrated.

[Chromer]

No need to act childish Varia. Or Mwerp will frown and hate you.

[Kefit]

I hate the main character of Grave of the Fireflies way too much to consider it anywhere near my favorite movies. What an ignorant, arrogant idiot.

Anyway, going strictly with movies, I think I am going to have to go with either Laputa: Castle in the Sky or Princess Mononoke.

[xiron]

Spirited Away, fo'sho'.

[jewpinthethird]

I, too, didn't like Grave of the Fireflies. It was just really depressing. Not the kind of movie that should represent the media forums.

[Squeek]

lawl. I never even saw it.

I have like 10 movies on my computer that I have yet to watch. And yet, I see Advent Children and the FMA movie the second they're finished.

I have problems.

~Squeek

[YungYung]

Here's a less popular yet abolutely amazing movie: AIR.

[Deji]

Spirited away or Princess Mononoke. Both were excellent films; both semed to run dry at times, but they added up for the better

[eVILPeeR]

Spirited Away, or AKIRA.

[jewpinthethird]

Looks like Spirited Away is fairing pretty well.

[Chromer]

So far the leading anime I've sen so far is Spirited Away, Akira, and Interstellar 5555. Are we okay for these three choices or are the nominees still coming in?

[GuidoHunter]

I could have sworn Castle in the Sky was up there, too.

--Guido

http://andy.mikee385.com

[Sol_Solis]

Read or Die, just because I haven't seen many ani-movies, and it's my favorite one.

edit: ah nevermind, just read the first page.

Kiki's delivery service.

[Tasuke]

X ? It's an okay movie, but maybe not.

Also I think it might be important to say that mai hime
was licensed, and I just noticed this.

[jamuko]

The X movie was terrible... XD wow. I even saw a fan-MST of it that was pretty funny. It was that bad.

[jewpinthethird]

I could have sworn Castle in the Sky was up there, too.

--Guido

http://andy.mikee385.com

It's the same thing as Spirited Away, just a different setting and characters. It's pretty much the same story. A young girl is in some undesirable situation, then the girl makes makes friends with a boy around her same age, they work together, the bad guy turns out to be not so bad and ends up helping them, lose ends get tied, everyone is happy.

This can be applied to Spirited Away, Laputa, and Howl's Moving Castle.

[Chromer]

-Akira
-Spirited Away
-Interstellar 5555
-End of Evangelion



ROFL I added End of Evangelion in there on purpose. :)

[Squeek]

Once we all agree on these choices, I'll make and sticky a poll.

~Squeek

[Chromer]

Chromer: Thumbs up.

[jewpinthethird]

-Akira
-Spirited Away
-Interstellar 5555
-End of Evangelion


I'm for it. I'd be happy with any of those choices.

[Linkisdoomed]

Gundam Wing?

-Link

[Squeek]

Since nobody seems to be opposing using these four, I'll make it now.

~Squeek

[NuclearShadow]

Wait what about X... That movie was so happy and bright and optimistic :D

[Squeek]

Read: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=37009

That's the poll. Two people have voted. One was me.

Sad folks. Sad.

~Squeek

[Snapps]

Read or Die please.


EDIT: And the thing I saw on CN was everything upto the end of Harder Better, since the story on TV was just to get kidnapped.

[Chromer]

I still think the One More Time music video is one of the greatest music videos of all time. I'll be glad if End of Evangelion or Interstellar 5555 wins.

[Squeek]

Read or Die please.

As a note for future reference, ROD was not a movie either. It was a 3-episode OAV.

They usually stop after the first four tracks of Discovery, so yes. HBFS is where they'd stop.

The rest of the movie is so much better than just the first four tracks.

~Squeek

[GuidoHunter]

I was the other one at the time, Squeek.

And I like how Interstellar was ghettofied to just Intastella 5555

--Guido

[Squeek]

INTERSTELLA 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem (movie)

That's how it's listed on ANN. Not QUITE ganstafied, but close.
