Anime / Re: What Anime should I watch?

« on: February 26, 2012, 07:32:51 pm »

um.
Somthing with Magic/Fantasy I guess?
and more adult aimed. (felt things like Avatar / Scrapped princess would be epic if it could move into more adult themes)
Somthing, like Darker than black/Daugters of Mnemosyme.

I just watched 5 Centimetres Per Second(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0983213/), thought it was ok, nice animation but.... a touch dull.

Any more films with Modern animation and a good action plot?

I have SteamBoy / Porco Rosso / Paprika / Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind / Beyond the Clouds - The Promised Place / Ah! My Goddess  Sat on the shelf unwatched.

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is supposed to be one of the early "groundbreaking" ones?

Also I was looking for 1 single film or episode to show to sombody who has never watched any Anime, as a... starter?

First whats the differance between Anime, Cartoons and Manga? is it just where it comes from, 3d,2d or the style?
Is shrek Anime? and Lion king a Cartoon? Familiy guy a cartoon?


anyways I need some Anime reccomendations, Movies or Series.

so far I have seen, in pretty much the order I started watching stuff.

series
Claymore - liked
Ghost in the shell SAC - I liked this but probably only because of the films.
Scrapped Princess - liked the magic alot.
Elfin Lied - Bit random, can't say I remember the plot now.
Darker than black - loved this
Avatar - The last airbender - Really loved this tho there was a fair bit of filler, and a touch childish.. the final episodes where amazing.
Ergo Proxy - liked
Witchblade - seemed a bit soft porn to cover lack of a plot, stopped at about episode 15
Daugters of Mnemosyme - liked this alot but it was very short 6 eps.
Currently about to start Guilty Crown.

Films
FF the spirits within?? does this count, do I include Shrek, and .. Pixar stuff in general?
Spirited Away - liked
Ghost in the shell - Loved this
Ghost in the shell 2 - hmmm
Howls moving castle -  /shrug
clone wars mini - loved some of the over the top aoe melee death in windu's bit.
FF Advent children
Blood the last vampire - not sure I remember
Resident Evil anime films - liked
Princess Mononoke - it was ok
Vampire Hunter D - bit weird
Halo Legends - loved it
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - liked it
Afro Samurai - was fun
Appleseed - kinda liked this
Appleseed 2 - this too tbh
