Sadly i have not seen many movies, i've only seen like the first 3 Persona 3 movies, Steins;Gate: Fuka Ryouiki no Déjà vu (Which is my fav to this day), Toaru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki, Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. Movie, Date A Live Movie, and the 2 Sora no Otoshimono films.

Princess Mononoke is pretty good. I liked it.
I didn't care for Spirited Away. Just wasn't my kind of film.
Never seen Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
Some of the ones I really liked were Howl's Moving Castle, Akira, Ghost in the Shell.
My pick is Sword of The Stranger. It has the best sword fights in any anime in my opinion and it's pretty good overall.
Oh btw, netflix has recently added Ajin Demi Human, Your Lie in April and Cyborg 009 VS Devilman.
Edited to correct something. haha

Already watched a few episodes of it. It's different in a good way.
I know it's not just one movie but, for me, the depth of Kara no Kyoukai: Garden of Sinners had me in awe. The first film just blew me away. The music, the production values, and the maturity of the premise were so far above most other anime and Shiki is an absolutely fasinating character. I don't think anything yet has reached the same level. I wish there were more of this kind of complexity in anime.
My Neighbor Totoro is pure magic. I don't remember anything that captures the soul of being a child as well. It's just timeless and brilliant.

She's like 9.... come on... nude girls are supposed to be older than that Oh and now I remember why I haven't fully watched it before. That 1st episode... what a drag. Dropped it there once before, but the 2nd ep was much better so hopefully it stays good from now on. |
That's the only thing that bugged me about that anime. She supposed to be a very old vampire stuck in a young girl's body unless she transforms.
I liked the anime though.

School Rumble, School Rumble Ni Gakki, Kimi ni Todoke, Ore Monogatari!!, Bakemonogatari, Hyouka and some good Mystery anime to end it off.
Versus_Evil said: What's everybody going to be finishing off in they're backlog list this season? For me it's just Ghost In The Shell: AA and the 2015 Film, also Shomin Sample. That's really good considering I finished 15 backlog shows in Winter. |
I've been watching mainly one piece in terms of older stuff. I have a bunch of stuff on a backlog though.
So many questions...I CAN'T HANDLE THIS PRESSURE, VERSY!

So my question to all you is what's the one movie to this day that you've seen. that you truly believe has never been topped? |
I suppose Ghibli movies are hardly the most original answer, but I'm gonna pick one anyway.
It's definitely aged now...but in terms of raw emotion, I've never watched an anime movie that struck me as hard as Graveyard of the Fireflies. I literally couldn't talk afterwards, I was in such pain. It probably doesn't help that sad shows really hit me harder that most people...but this was something else. The worst part was that you knew how the movie would end within the first five minutes, and it still murdered me.
Although I wouldn't put it on par with Ghibli, I feel like I should mention the most recent One Piece film as being a real standout. Most movie adaptations of long running anime I've seen have ranged from boring to utter crap, so to see one that was actually fun to watch and tied into the source material was pretty great. Stand out scene was when Zephyr was being butchered by Kizaru...and all his former Marine comrades stood back with tears in their eyes.
Not sure how feasible it is, but I'd love to see more long-running manga adaptations have the original mangaka help produce the films. The quality difference is realy night and day. It seems the next One Piece film will be doing this again, which is fantastic.

Currently I'm watching Monster Musume...I guess I finally caved after Twi's poll. It's really dumb honestly...but I don't really care because the characters are hilarious. I don't think there's any character I dislike so far...even though spidergirl really creeps me out. I'm probably being unfair though, since I absolutely hate spiders. *shivers*
After that, I plan to watch Death Parade finally...and then Dagashi Kashi. I have Asterisk War listed for some reason...no idea when I'll get around to that. Also one of my mod-senpais told me to watch Gourmet Girl Graffiti.
