I'd suggest Karas It was released in episode format or as two movies and the visuals are pretty over the top and rad. They blend 2D, 3D and live action together for some neat action scenes though the plot is a bit forgettable.Srice posted:Galaxy Express 999 I also really like Galaxy Express 999. It is a good watch.

I haven't watched many anime movies but one I saw recently and thought was good was Patema Inverted The whole inverted gravity conceit (basically, there are people living underground who have the opposite gravity, don't think too hard about it) made for some really good animated spectacle. It felt like a classic Ghibli film like Castle in the Sky, although not quite as good. Speaking of Castle in the Sky, the villain is kinda a weak link in Patema since he's a very one-dimensional evil guy in the same way as Musca but without the same presence. Anyway, this is my review.

If we watch the Galaxy Express 999 movie, we should follow it up with the sequel, which is also pretty good.

I haven't actually seen Phoenix 2772 but I did read the manga. Well, Future anyways. Phoenix is basically Osamu Tezuka's lifework which he technically never finished, so it'd be cool to watch the anime movie based off it. It looks and sounds like a pretty interesting movie, which if you've ever read any of Phoenix, should probably be a trip.

I think they have a really good staff behind them, I'd be interested.

From what I could find out, Phoenix 2772 is its own thing while mixing in a bunch of eras, which is intriguing to say the least. There was also another movie and two OVAs that covered Karma, Space, and Yamato. I only read Future though so dunno about those unfortunately.

Onwards with the list! So for whatever reason, my family picked up a VHS copy of Rail of the Star. Not a bad movie, though it has familiar story beats. It tells the autobiographic tale of Kobayashi Chitose and her family when they lived in North Korea, during WWII. It's a different perspective, and I wouldn't mind hearing second opinions on it since it seems to fly under the radar.

I think we should watch Kenya Boy, at some point. It's not a good movie by any means but it's really interesting and it's the kind of movie that makes you wonder why it was made.

I was gonna post about Barefoot Gen, but man I don't wanna rewatch Barefoot Gen. Other goons should probably watch it at some point though. I just don't want to rewatch it for the same reasons I don't want to rewatch Grave of the Fireflies.

Urusei Yatsura II: Beautiful Dreamer Probably the best anything that has ever come out of Rumiko Takahashi's work. Absolutely lovely film directed by Mamuro Oshii of GitS fame. It's also fairly stand alone, so you don't really need to know who all the characters are to get enjoyment from it.

Parallax posted:Gonna throw out A Thousand and One Nights, Cleopatra, and Belladonna of Sadness. All three are Osamu Tezuka and Eiichi Yamamoto trying to get more "mature" anime into theaters. But by mature I mean more experimental. It still features the more cartoon-y style Tezuka is known for, but there's lots of just weird experimentation going on. For example, Cleopatra starts off with live action actors with their heads drawn over with animation: Cleopatra: Queen of Sex is extremely epic actually.

Be A Man! Samurai School, the live action movie based on the classic anime and manga. Tak Sakaguchi plays Momotaro, a student at the manliest school in Japan, on his journey to be a true man and samurai, along with his friends. It adapts several parts of the manga, while also having an overarching plot involving a rival school and an unmanly students journey to becoming a true man. It is manly and was directed by and stars Tak Sakaguchi, and thus is the best movie ever. It is dumb and over the top, and I love it.

 You Are Umasou it's an all-ages movie about a tyrannosaurus that ends up raising an anklyosaurus. the story is typical, but it's very cute and has unexpectedly good action. and there are some movies i've had laying around that all seem solid, but i have yet to buckle down and watch. so maybe the thread would be interested in one/some: Princess Arete, The Dagger of Kamui, Fuse: Memoirs of the Hunter Girl, The King of Pigs, Toki no Tabibito, or Chie the Brat dogsicle fucked around with this message at 08:42 on Aug 15, 2015 |

TNG posted:Urusei Yatsura II: Beautiful Dreamer Beautiful Dreamer is boring because it is too much in the style of the surreal dreamy type of Lum ep, and not the type where Ataru drools over a girl in a bikini and then gets shocked.

This seems like a good movie to watch sometime before The Good Dinosaur comes out. Also, I would like to recommend Tokyo Godfathers for those who haven't seen it. It is a Satoshi Kon work, but unlike his other movies, which are mostly psychological thrillers that have more dark and mature tones and themes, this is basically Anime A Christmas Story. Legitimately heartwarming and gutbustingly funny.
