not bad.
And soon, Evangelion 3.0 will be 1st on the list <3
I enjoyed eva 3.0, but it has been borderline good and bad for many of the fans in Japan. If you ask me, I think they're just upset that the movie focused so much more on Kaworu and Shinji than any of the female leads.
Fans are mostly upset because of the Timeskip and because Kaworu had to die again.
Then there are waifufags ranking the movie 1 star because no Rei in the movie and because Asuka and Mari barely appeared.
Fans are angry because of the timeskip (though I don't understand why that bothers them so much) and because Kaworu died horribly due to Shinji being an idiot. Though fans don't hate Shinji, he got hit the worst by every character on the movie and Kaworu's death left him in a worse mental condition than in the anime.
But it's true, there is a lot of people angry because Rei II wasn't in the movie and because Asuka and Mari had little to no screentime. Do these people only go to the theaters to see their waifu and not because of the plot?
Man, fistfuck Evangelion. It's old, boring news anyway. It wasn't a good movie or series to begin with and yet people still think it is? Morons.
Evangelion 3.0 is a real trash!Gainax people have forgotten how to make good stuff,so they recycle old stories and characters in an orrible way and the result is Nadiangelion:with Neo Tokyo 3 that has transformed in a distorted version of Neo-Natilus and Misato a cross-dressing of Capt Nemo...
Hell no.
U MAD BRO? U MAD? kthxbai. DAMN IT. ALL MY BASE BELONG TO U.
Anything EVA no doubt is expected of very high quality
Surprised TTGL: Lagann Hen wasnt included though
TTGL is too old to be remembered by the Japanese.
I mean, they forgot Kon existed at all, based on this ranking.
To be fair, a lot of them probably didn't know Satoshi Kon existed in the first place. His stuff may have been acclaimed by critics worldwide, but it was never really that popular within Japan.
Akira FUKEN WHERE?
0. Kara no Kyoukai - The Garden of Sinners
5,5. Ghost in the Shell 2 - Innocence
6,5. The Sky Crawlers
I can't name "movie" most of these titles. Long OVAs, short series, but not movies. Completed, solid as rock, clean and "all included" works i've seen only from Ghibli Studio. Wanna watch "The Wolf Children Ame and Yuki".
Blood C The Last Dark?
Don't see Princess Mononoke, Totoro should be higher and i agree with Kara no Kyoukai (funny cause i'm in the middle of watching just started Ep. 6 i love it
>Not having Ghost in the Shell on it
>Not having Akira on it
>Not having Angels Egg on it
>Not having any Satoshi Kon movie on it
Etc, etc... Apart from the Ghibli movies, this list is just shit. No wonder anime and manga mostly only get viewed as childish art for retards...
Ghost in the Shell 1 and Akira are great and all, but they are pretty damn dated now.
And Castle In The Sky is not? Pssh.
Gibli nerds that's what they all are.
Doesn´t mean that they can´t be as good as any new production. Back in the days anime where much better anyway.
I wasn't talking about animation or character design just the story progression, directing, etc.
In terms of animation those 2 movies are about as good as it will ever get.
Try watching Akira again. It isn't dated in the slightest, in fact it's still the best looking anime movie ever made.
Ghost is the Shell is the most boring anime movie I've ever seen.
Yeah like Akira it feels more like an extension/tribute to the manga. The manga are 10x more enjoyable to read and the movies hardly capture a fraction of the original story.
Besides that Ghost in the Shell is really not a movie that everyone can enjoy.
Of course it´s not a movie everyone can enjoy, but a person who rather likes to watch GITS definitely looks more mature and sophisticated, than a person who likes to watch all this moe shit, "because it´s so desu XD hihi".
I don't know. GITS is a great movie. But the passing is REALLY slow. Not to mention the soundtrack they have for it (though sounds great) adds to the slow passing of the movie.
Again its a great film but the slow pass can really bore people.
GITS was visually incredible, but that's all there is to it in my opinion. I had high expectations when watching it due to everything we hear, but sadly it definitely wasn't for me.
"a person who rather likes to watch GITS definitely looks more moronic and unable to understand what a fucking story is."
FIFY.
Lists like this, you know, are the reason why anime not get called anime anymore. Nowadays, even many otakus themselves, just call it "Animuu".
To me, this reminds me of a black people who like to call themselves "ni**er". Try to figure it out yourself why.
How does that make you feel?
Just go die fucking faggot, it's a shame that people from /a/ give this site views, cancerfags
I'd also add "Grave of the Fireflies".
And don't forget "Perfect Blue"! I know Kon needs his love (this thread is in reply to that), so I picked what I felt was the best one.
i think that "Millennium Actress" is a better film than "Prefect Blue". But what do i know, I love "K-ON!" and would have made "Ah, My Goddess" the number one anime film.
Oh yea, definitely! Really sad story but I loved that movie. In fact, I think it may be even the best movie Studio Ghibli ever worked on.
Amen, brother.
>Makoto Shinkai not in the top 25
2deep4Japan
K-On begin as #2 while is utterly SHIT!
I agree man and LoL at the brainwashed moe lovers that down-voted your comment. Is not just K-On who should die but the entire moe fad too. Anime is not even that interesting anymore unless you're a pervert and a pedophile....
what I always wonder is why do we still follow these anime? it's including me and you. perhaps because we got brainwashed as well? and you can't say no because at least you have seen this Top 25 Best thing
you mean it's like I hate it but I'm still here?
more or less
There's still hope we'll get more anime like Dennou Coil and Kaiji. Just because they don't talk about it still doesn't mean they aren't good.
So sad there wasn't a Fist of the north star movie.
K-ON movie soooo BAD. Probably da "fanboy" made it.
Wow the FMA movie is there! I'm pleasantly surprised.
Exactly the same movies I was expecting to find, and the ones absent, specially Ghost in the Shell.
Akira as a movie is overrated. The manga is landmark but the movie is a mess that really only gets its status because of the effect it had on Western audiences.
Though truth be told K-ON placing at immediately invalidates this list for me. K-ON is a plague and the sooner it is forgotten the better off we are.
expert talking here ^
akira movie is awesome .
Clearly you have not experienced how it is to be playing in the band, no matter if you are girl or boy.
Having done it helps to understand charms of K-on! much better.
90% of the people who watched K-On! cares more about Mio's panties then the music.
You seem to be confused. The list said "best" not "worst" movies. Though I don't understand why you would rank Koukaku Kidoutai as worst..
AKA "If I don't like it, then it's invalid."
AKA "Even if they said the truth about a overrated anime series, I prefer to live in delusion in my bubble full of Humbug"
You live in delusion that your opinion matters or that you are something more than others.
But truth is you are low form of human kind AKA arrogant trash.
NOT COWBOY BEBOP
Cowboy Bebop?anime fine but the movie's a tad bit shit
The series wasn't that popular in japan.
The movie isn't that good.
Americans always overrating CB because its more focused in american culture.
Europe suck! See what I did there?
K-ON! Movie is the 2nd. This list is totally invalid.
You don`t play any musical instrument, or sing?
Not Unlimited Blade Works !!
Yah the story was new for that movie and it kept pace and action to keep it from being boring.
Unlimited Blade Works > Fate/Zero
