I am a total newb at anime. But I want to get into it... The only thing I've seen is Akira, and that was 8 years ago. I have the opportunity to buy a lot of them for really cheap. What are the better anime movies out there? What are the timeless classics of anime?

I liked Evangelion a lot although it's a series, if you liked Akira, watch Ghost in the Shell... Other than that shop around and try different movies you'll usualy happen on a good one once in awhile. Bean is good.

Cowboy Bebop
Interesting series, only 1 season long (the story was fully told in 26ish eps and didn't need to continue). I liked it. Good story, fun characters.

Cowboy Bebop - The Movie
Takes place at about halfway through the series chronologically. I reccommend it to those who watch(ed) the series, bt you'll be lost if you watch it as a stand-alone movie.

Ghost in the Shell
Great movie, good characters, cool plot. Watch it. Love it.

Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex
Spinoff series of the movie. Currently airing season 2 in Japan. Season 1 can be seen on TV I'm sure, plus other *cough* places... I haven't seen more than the first few episodes, but the quality is the same as the movie. IMO it's more like 20-something 30-minute long GitS movies. :)

Last Exile
Fun futuristic series. You'll enjoy it if you like the Final Fantasy airships and whatnot. The setting of this show is my favorite of them all, though some of the dialog gets lost in translation. I'd rate it right between the other 2 shows I mentioned.

Anime = Japanes animation

Think of it as Japan's version of Saturday morning cartoons. There is more of an audience for anime shows, though. More movies made from series or vice versa, people of all ages watch them, and the shows tend to be more mature. Ok, wrong word; they tend to deal with more 'adult' situations.

Caballeros del Zodiaco!!

I'm an anime newb too, but some of my favourite movies are Princess Mononoke, Ghost in the Shell, Street Fighter 2, Akira (which you're already seen), Ninja Scroll, Spirited Away (not as good as the others), Castle in the Sky (again, not as good as the others).

Ninja Scroll :icon14:
Street Fighter Animated is very good, but it prolly loses a lot of value if yer not into the game. very nice artwork though.

Battle Angel Alita is a good one too, if yer in the mood.

Princess Mononoke is a nice one. not an official manga though but thats hardly important ;)

from what i've heard, the anime sucks though - read the manga; shirow is a geniuos at combining top drawings with a kickass action plot and an amazingly deep philosophical background.


... and now - some anime you should watch:

That's what Saint Seiya was in Spanish. Man, finally! I recently got all 120+ episodes and 4 movies and had a blast going through like the first 40 or so before getting distracted. It was truly excellent, I still have four dolls stowed at my grandparent's place. Cisne (in Spanish, his name was Hyoga), Alpha and Epsilon from the platinum armor guys and Scylla (from the underwater Poseidon episodes).

Can you host them, I have been searching everywhere for them.

I'd very much appreciate it.

Dude it's like 8 DVDs worth of stuff or something .. I bought it off some guy in Spain who mailed them to me (they're in Spanish). If you want, I can get you his email address since the site seems to be down .. trustworthy enough since he mailed them halfway around the world to me after I'd paypal'd him the money (68 euros >:E).

Sure, why not.

That 'grave of the fireflies' movie looks really good. The cheapest I can find it though is 20 bucks for the DVD... Kinda expensive.

Some of the Animatrix stuff is interesting too, though hardcore anime fans will probably tell you to shut it when you mention animatrix.

Spirited away is an amazing movie. Not really your violent anime type of movie, more like an Alice in Wonderland type of thing. It's great IMO.

akira is the only decent anime I've ever seen, and I've had many many people show me shit trying to convince me that it's worth getting into

the moral of the story: akira is awesome, everything else is fucking lame

Uh, they were.
It's just that they fuck them up when they'r brought to a different country (the states) they make it more childish. Cigaret is replaced with candy etc.

One Piece owns.
Naruto can be cool sometimes.

Some Anime you say?

Ruroni Kenshin, Dragonball (Z & GT too), Full Metal Alchemist, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy BeBop, Trigun, Gungrave, Gundam (Seed, Wing), .hack, Hellsing & Inuyasha.


All great Anime that I either watch on TV, buy the DVD on, or pirate off the net.
