which anime films do you think the west will like just like

i was thinking you know how disney made great films back in the day and a few new ones thanks to pixar

aladdin
beauty and the beast
the little mermaid
lion king ( idea from anime kimba the lion )
any disney film that had a big impact on you

which anime films do you think would make or has a good impact in the west like disney did.
 
Basically exclusively Ghlibli and also Akira, that's basically it for films that have had a big impact here =P I may be exaggerating somewhat but there is some truth to it.

It kind of annoys me how popular Ghlibli is to the almost complete exclusion of other titles with non-anime fans. There is better, more interesting anime out there. I'm not the biggest Ghlibli fan, but it would be churlish to say they are not good films, nonetheless I can't help but feel the reason they're so popular in the west is because thematically many depart little from a lot of Disney stuff. At least Akira is also popular.

I'm not really sure this is a justified statement to be honest. I guess you could argue that some of their more child friendly releases are thematically similar, though I've yet to see a Ghibli film that is truly similar to a Disney. Even Ponyo which is often criticized as being one of their more child friendly works, is a world away from Disney if you ask me. But look at Spirited away, easily Ghibli's most successful movie in the west, I don't think it's particularly thematically similar to a Disney film, and certainly not more so than a ton of other anime.

I think Ghibli's success in the west comes down to the undeniable quality of it's output (Earthsea not included) and the fact that someone like Miyazaki just does whatever he wants without pandering to the latest trends and obsessions of the rest of the anime industry, so while I don't agree that his films are thematically similar to Disney, I would say that they are more universal than much anime.

Mmm, I grant yo my statement was something of a crass generalisation, but I meant that many of the popular Ghlibli films follow a traditional idealistic hero story, or something more family-oriented like Totoro. Nothing wrong with that, but I feel like it's not reaching the potential that anime has as a storytelling medium over western animation, but that's probably an incorrect thing to say. Just my opinion though.
 
i swear the dragonball series is going to be the death of me i want to watch something else but i promised my self all id finish it then i could finally watch one piece. one piece is going to be a hell of a wild raid, iv got 5 collections with 130 episodes and who knows by the time i get to the final disc of collection 5 il have collection 6 lol im actually looking forward to it
 
question

you know how you get and anime series and you put a song or a opening to it that suits that series e.g.

i was thinking
detective conan with inspector gadget opening
or
one piece amv with a pirate song e.g. shiver my timbers
or
lupin with smooth criminal
or
hellsing with count duckula opening

does anyone here knows what this is called putting stuff like this together like what iv said, im sure theres a name for it i just dont know

Must be HMV's mistake. They have Box Set 9 down as 101 - 112 and Box Set 7 as 78 - 88.

Iv got a brilliet idea for a game
Click to expand...

And what is that idea?
Click to expand...

Ok think about this for a sec-

You know how in fighting games and adventure Games you as the character has to beat the level and watch out for dangers in that battle ground and beat that game: well I got this idea from war of the monsters-

What if instead of being the character trying to beat the level or the battle ground, what if you created you own areas and battle level and you can put in-

1 guns that a comes out of nowhere
2 traps e.g. Trap doors, floors ect with spikes or acid or man nesting animals
3 or the level changes if to much damage is don't to it for the worst for the character
4 you can have it in any settings like the city or in a maze, dungeon ect

I saw war of the monsters * a ps2 game* on YouTube and theres this one level where if the city is damaged to much it has a big earthquack and the groud shatters and theres only a few steppin stones to step on

It dosent have to be adventure it can be battle where the character is fight someone and you can take control of the environment and beat him but not as a character but the area your the area and your tryin to beat the character
