Some excellent anime features:


'Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade'
Written by Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell) and directed by Hiroyuki Okiura (key animator on Akira), Jin-Roh offers a violent but compelling vision in animation. Up there with the best ever.

'Cowboy Bebop - The Movie'
The movie is like a feature length episode, with feature quality animation. Not necessarily a bad thing, it's still a sick movie.

'Memories'
The masters of anime join forces to create some stunning s#!t. There's three separate stories: Magnetic Rose, Stink Bomb and Cannon Fodder.
Created by the world’s leading animé talent: Koji Morimoto, Tensai Okamuro, Katsuhiro Ôtomo, Satoshi Kon.

'Metropolis'
This was adapted from Osamu Tezuka's 1949 manga, Metropolis. Its got crazy visuals but the characters look a bit too cartoonish for my taste. It's still a cool movie though.

'Spriggan'
Fast paced, violent, and loud, Spriggan offers some dope action sequences that set new standards. The story's a bit on the simple side, but it's still very entertaining.

'Akira'
Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira is the movie that created a mass audience for Japanese animation in America. Its the shizz. The images are powerful and graphic, and the story's super complex and told on an epic scale. If you're a fan of anime and haven't seen this yet you should be shot.

'Spirited Away'
Spirited Away is a full of originality and colorful characters. A great alternative to Disney's yearly crap. Take your kids.

'Princess Mononoke'
A perfect film crafted by a master storyteller. Miyazaki's atmospheric world and its lush visual design are incrediblly sick, and the story is elegant and simple, but relevant and very entertaining. Watch it in Japanese though because Claire Danes and Billy Bob Thorton don't sound right aight.

'Ninja Scroll'
A peak achievement of Japanese animation, a propulsive mix of samurai action adventure and supernatural fantasy from writer-director Yoshiaki Kawajiri. The violence is superbad@$$, and the villians are among the dopest motherf###ers in any movie.

'Vampire Hunter D - Bloodlust'
Based on a series of fantasy novels by Hideyuki Kikuchi, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust is a superviolent anime adventure. A sinister mood and atmosphere is achieved through killer animation and music. Done by the same people who brought us Ninja Scroll, and just as ill.

'Mezzo Forte'
A solid little movie with humour and exciting action scenes. If you watch the uncut version you're in for some serious booty action too.

' Samurai X - Trust & Betrayal (Director's Cut)'
The four-episode Rurouni Kenshin original animation video captures the mixture of swordplay and poetry that makes Japanese warrior culture so cool to viewers on both sides of the Pacific.

'Perfect Blue'
One of the most ambitious animated films to come out of Japan (or anywhere, for that matter), Perfect Blue is an adult psycho-thriller that uses the freedom of the animated image to create the subjective reality of a young actress haunted by the ghost of her past identity. Schizophrenic and convoluted, the story, like a lot of anime, let's you decide how to interpret it.

'The Animatrix'
From the creators of The Matrix trilogy, this collection of 9 short films from 7 of the world's best Anime directors is a good way to start getting into some anime. With the exception of the garbage Matriculated every short is quality s#!t.

'Ghost in the Shell'
This 1995 Sci-fi Animated Thriller is based on Masamune Shirow's Graphic Novel about lifelike cyborgs or "enhanced" humans used by the government for undercover work. This film is worth all the praise it gets, the story is deep yo. This some thought-provoking stuff. The mecha and technology is hella cool.

'Daft Punk & Leiji Matsumoto's Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem'
Well worth checking out if you dig Daft Punk and/or like anime, especially that sweet old-school style that y'all grew up with. A solid storyline with absolutely no dialogue but cool tunes.

Blood has been mentioned too. This is a great little movie with insane animation but the story is too bare bones and it's too short to be considered a masterpiece.

[raytrunkscold]

I've heard great things about Steamboy. Haven't watched it myself though.
They say the animation is incredible, but apparently the plot is lacking.

[Full-Metal]
