I’ve been meaning to ask about anime movies

For someone who has seen every Miyazaki and every Ghibli, and has nearly finished bingeing the works of Mamoru Hosoda, Makoto Shinkai and Satoshi Kon, what else is there out there in the last five or ten years? Particularly in the fantasy/sci-fi vein, but I also enjoyed all the slice of life Ghibli ones like Whisper of the Heart.

Not really interested in movies that are just the wrap up of some long running tv show. And I’ve seen a bunch of the classics so recent recommendations are appreciated.

Also I’ve seen the stuff by Studio Ponoc since they formed, also I enjoyed that Netflix one A Whisker Away last year
Assuming you caught up on Ghibli on HBO Max, they also have Promare and Ride Your Wave

I like how Warner Bros has made a hundred direct to video animated features based off their comics and comic book tv shows, including some pretty bad BTAS/DCAU movies, but not one Batman Beyond movie after Return of the Joker.

Maybe it's for the best and we'd just get the Batman Beyond version of MYSTERY OF THE BATWOMAN?

Watched an episode of Speed Racer I'd not seen before. In addition to starting with a guy getting gunned down, the episode ends with a battle between speed and a man on horseback with a sword where right before the man plummets to his death we cut to Speed completely stone faced, watching it happen, and not even trying to stop it.

I love Speed Racer

Every single show has a massive fan somewhere. Nostalgia is a helluva drug.

All the TMNT knockoffs are a real weird thing in retrospect because they all kinda have their own spin on it. And most were made to sell toys. Mighty Ducks played up the fancy tech and added sports gimmicks, Street Sharks and Extreme Dinosaurs played up the 90s attitude and grotesque 'cool' designs. (the Street Sharks toys were very chewable)

Yeah I was thinking of the old traditionally animated specials there, which absolutely did not cost anywhere near 100 million.

I'm not sure why a Pixar-quality adaptation of Peanuts was necessary, but I guess it still made money, and it looks kinda neat if weird. It feels unnecessary though, like a big budget pixar adaptation of a heathcliff comic
