Hungarian Kid. I think it is fairly obvious (forgive me if I'm wrong Another Smith) that Another Smith has not seen many animes at all. The first anime movies that anyone sees are Akira and Ghost In The Shell (normally) and Ninja Scroll is fiercely recommended on the Animatrix extras.

You are absolutely right, these are the only films I have seen and I do wish to expand my horizons a little... so my thanks to you for your suggestions Fatpie, I will keep my eyes open for the titles you provided me with. Thanks very much..

Heh, you'll find there's alot of great animes, alot better then Ghost in the Shell. Akira is hard to beat though, that's a childhood memory one for me and will stick with me forever.

Hungarian Kid,

I also grew up w/anime w/o realizing it, starting w/Transformers, Voltron, and Robotech just to name a few. I'm also alot like you in the sense that I've never gotten into the covention, collection side of anime. However, when I worked at a video store w/4 guys like that, it really helped me to see some fantastic stuff. As I've mentioned before, check out Trigun. It is just a fantastic series. It's a shame there's only 26 episodes.

On another topic, I've been interested a newer series called Gungrave. Anybody have any thoughts on this one?

Best 'childhood' anime i remember was Battle of the Planets, anyone recall this? it was bloody ace and the baddie was Dressed almost like a woman with lipstick! Zoltar or zoltan he was called.

Used to watch it every week after school.

The ship was called the Pheonix and had other craft hidden inside it for all five of the crew.

I seem to remember Battle of the Planets, only vaguely.

However, I didn't realise that it was animae

Yep, the episodes were cut because for a kids cartoon it had shed loads of violence in it. I remember watching it and thinking bits were missing from the story.

Well I'll be seeing Trigun pretty soon probably, lots of anime fans have recommended it and a friend of mine has the series.
See Spriggan if you haven't already, thats got guns! Cowboy Bepop the Series and Movie are a must see also.

Because it is so damn cool! It is about a bunch of people in a MMORPG called 'The World' and people in the Real world are falling into comas.

Untill now I've seen Akira(en.wikipedia.org...), Ghost in the Shell(en.wikipedia.org...), Final Fantasy : The Spirits Within(en.wikipedia.org...) and Metropolis(en.wikipedia.org...).

But AgentDragon I forgot, I've also seen Spirited Away and it's awesome!

Final Fantasy: Advent Children

GREAT movie entirely made of CG!

About a man named Cloud who must fight against the katana wielding Kadaj and save the world from Sephiroth. Based on the video game Final Fantasy VII by Square!

The fight scene between a giant dragon named Bahamut Sin and the gang is AWESOME! Gave me chill bumps!
