DISCUSSION: Official Anime Movie of FFR.

[jewpinthethird]

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.

[Tasuke]

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.

PS - Fixed to accomodate bottom post.

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.

Spirited Away, fo'sho'.
