Anime Movies Recommendations?
I don't usually watch anime at all, but like most people I did enjoy Totoro growing up and I watched Spirited Away, Princess M, Howl's MC and most of the other Ghibli films. I was wondering if anybody could give me any recommendations for some animated movies that are similar in style that I can pick up while I'm still in Japan?
Brave story? I haven't heard anything about it, but there were ads for that all over the place an year ago or so. Lots of ads for Ponyo DVD but that doesn't come out until July. Also, do most anime dvd's in Japan not usually come with English subtitles? I know Spirited Away did when it came out on dvd, but other than that, I've really got no clue. |

i will suggest 5 Centimeters per second, that movie is my favorite movie ever and i still watch it after watching it many times prior. its really a gem.
btw it recieved many good ratings, 9/10 and 10/10s |
I don't think they usually come with english subtitles...not in Japan. I'm not really positive though.
Tekkon Kinkreet is my all-time favorite! |
Thanks, I'll have to look for some of these.

I'd say Millennium Actress is the best of the four. Satoshi Kon is a genius. I'd also say: 5 Centimeters Per Second Grave of the Fireflies is a given Ninja Scroll is a pretty popular old one Akira the god of all anime movies Ghost in the Shell Perfect Blue another Satoshi Kon flick Tekkon Kinkreet blew my mind And of course, anything by Miyazaki Whisper of the Heart is a lesser known Ghibli film that I highly recommend If you have to pick only a few I'd say: Whisper of the Heart Millennium Actress The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Tekkon Kinkreet (may not be the style your looking for, but it's very very good) EDIT: Brave Story was a disappointment for me. I'd say buy the book instead. |
Shinku no Shônen Densetsu is wonderful.
