Generally agree. I just wish the Tachikoma's never existed, then I would struggle to find any faults at all.

Yeah I know it is Jan, but I remember back after I saw it in the summer it was predicted for a November release :(

Speaking of Ghibli, Arrietty is taking ages to come out! :x

Extremely depressing. Paranoia Agent is one of my favourite series and Paprika one of my favourite films. For it all to end this way is a sad sad end :(

Red Dwarf! "Step up to Red Alert" "Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb." :lol:

One which comes to mind for me was 'The Third' Started off as a very good Post Apocalyptic Anime with a nice use of several story arcs. However the last couple of arcs just turned really damn weird and didn't work (Though I was already losing interest after an episode mid series where the art...

I'm always here, I just lurk a lot :P Plus not had much time to watch Anime of late so not too much to say. Mononoke is the top of my list as always, a truly wonderful film. Though if it included manga, the Nausicaa Manga would top the lot (The film, while extremely good, does lack the sheer...

...Then Miyazaki would be a mass murderer :P But yes, I watched Ponyo again today, still muchly twee and fun. Also managed Dead Leaves, which is muchly NOT twee, but still (crazy) fun 8)

I agree with Kino - a real enigma (The best part about the show by far is her characterisation) And my list: Anita King (RODTV) Nausicaa (The manga version!) Lain (Serial experiments Lain) Sakaki (Azumanga Daioh) Rekki (Haibane Renmei) Leona Ozaki (Dominion Tank Police)

I love Whisper of the heart - one of my fave Ghibli films. However I can understand why people may struggle with it (I think I like it on one level as I am a writer) - The story is not necessarily unique and generally I am not a fan of the 'high school drama' stories, but something in whisper...

Evangelion easily. Not only do I consider it an extremely mediocre series at the best of times (and god awful a lot of the time) the fact that it completely skewed the way Anime went in the late 90s (I only found out the fandom about it like a year after I watched it and dismissed it as rubbish...

1. Princess Mononoke 2. Whisper of the Heart 3. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind 4. Laputa: Castle in the Sky 5. Spirited Away 6. Arrietty 7. Grave of the Fireflies 8. The Cat Returns 9. My Neighbour Totoro 10. Ponyo 11. Howl's Moving Castle 12. Tales from Earthsea 13. Kiki's...

Blast from the past this! Hell I think my first 4 years of watching Anime meant catching this every time I rented a video! (Being a Metal fan helps as well!)

I'll let you have that one - It has been years since I watched it so my perceptions may have changed. Another great one was Venus Wars. 8)

Gunnerkrigg Court - Probably the best Narrative webcomic out there. The art is a little rough at the beginning, but the story is pure gold. El Goonish Shive (EGS) Probably the craziest thing you'll ever see - now with more gender bending! Misfile More genderbending, but less wierdness...

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340 ... 78,00.html Basically it is about Chiune Sugihara, a man who was Japanese Consul to Lithuania just after the Soviet invasion in 1940. He, against the wishes of his goverment, signed thousands of transit vias for Jewish refugees to go to Japan - hence...

Funny, I love Cat Returns, but I find the plot is an almost exact copy of Spirited Away minus a little of the darker aspects and swap everything with cats :P But yeah it definitely LOOKS different (I rather like the style) but it feels like pure Ghibli to me.

For better or for worse, if you were into Anime pre 2000, did not know Japanese and lived in the UK, Manga video will be a big part of your Anime history as it was mine and my brother's before me. Their releases were mixed to say the least, but then again they were the UK pioneers as it were...

Gah!

Arrietty 8/10 First of all I have seen several different versions of the Borrowers story, though have never read the book, second I am a Ghibli nut, but feel I am quite objective and several of their films I can honestly say I do not like (Not Earthsea btw :P) Anyway, just got back from...
