07.01.11 | damn, still no love for ruroni kenshin. |
KeithStone582
07.01.11 | Princess Mononoke is my favorite. Akira was honestly one of the dumber anime movies I've seen. |
MUNGOLOID
07.01.11 | the manga is better. |

07.01.11 | despite the fact that i'm not really into anime, always been a fan of yu yu hakusho haha |

07.01.11 | It is missing the best anime, Golden Boy. Pretty great list though. |
qwe3
07.01.11 | akira is great but it sorta has the problem of not living up to the manga like at all.
art style was so cool though |

07.01.11 | Good list sir, really enjoy some of these. Will say though that Hot Topic =/= anime. Their new CEO is big on only carrying things once and only once, and anime/anime merch is not anything that they can move readily like she'd like. So while the store continues to deteriorate and move away from some genre's of music I believe your anime is safe. Want to hate on something go hate Bleach and its recycled backdrops ^_^ |

07.01.11 | yeah, i originally wrote up little statements for each title, but sputnik rebooted itself because i took too long to write them up. and yes, ruroni kenshin was good, but it didn't have an impact on me like the one's ive listed. tekkoninkreet was great as well, but nothing really stood out for me after watching it. bear in mind that i had pretty much given up on anime by the time if came out. oh, and here are a few honorable mentions:
the cockpit
paprika
barefoot gen
the wings of honneamise
gogol 13
black magic m-66
appleseed (original)
black jack
devil man
interstella 5555 (daft punk anime movie)
twilight of the dark master
only yesterday
5cm per second
yeah, so i know that i've left off a lot of good anime, but in reality, the titles i've mentioned are the ones that really stood out to me. just because an anime looked cool or whatever didn't make me a fan. I tended to focus a lot on story and characters. oh, and just to mention this, I really hated trigun, bleach, death note, kite, and the ninja scroll tv series. i used to be a fan of naruto, but then it seemed to explode and they skipped ahead on me when I was faithfully reading it every month in shonen jump. I stopped caring after that.
as for newer anime, the latest stuff i've seen are the two Neon Genesis reboot movies and summer wars. I was pleased with all of them... |

07.01.11 | A friend made me watch Evangelion 2.2 film or w/e it's called yesterday, was surprisingly not as bad as expected, made no sense to me but was still decent. |
Adabelle
07.01.11 | I didn 't really add much to this conversation, OH WELL. |

07.01.11 | Watched Akira once. That was enough anime for life. |

07.01.11 | uhhh...full metal alchemist |
LepreCon
07.01.11 | No Bleach, not even in the latter half of the list? Hrm |
LepreCon
07.01.11 | Ah when it follows the storyline of the manga it's pretty awesome, Ichigo's final fight vs Ulquiorra being a crowning moment of anime history, but the anime just has too many filler arcs like the one its in now. Likewise with Naruto |
eatdogs
07.01.11 | I guess some of you can tell, but i'm more of an older anime fan. The newer stuff just seems to cheap and massed produced. the stories cater to the teens who think that style, or "look" is cool. its not about substance anymore... |

07.01.11 | >no Howl's Moving Castle
>not legit |
Rev
07.01.11 | lol no |
KeithStone582
07.01.11 | Howl's moving castle was pretty good, but Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and Castle in the Sky are way better. |
Acanthus
07.01.11 | Howl's Moving Castle was good but most Studio Ghibli films are all... cute. Not a bad thing, I can only handle so much though. |
KeithStone582
07.01.11 | ^ no. |
Bron-Yr-Aur
07.01.11 | used to watch 12 all the fuckin time |

07.01.11 | miyazaki films are cool but satoshi kon films are better |

07.01.11 | Needs more Trigun. |

07.01.11 | @KeithStone582 - just never saw the magic in them besides the obvious attention to detail/animation and musical score. |
