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.

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.

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.

I agree with you, i have watched it twice and both times make me cry if i have to choose on drama genre for me this will take it.
