Favorite Anime Film

[ProfessorDex]

Pitch us your favorite anime film that maybe nobody has heard of.

My favorite is The Place Promised in Our Early Days. It's kind of psychological, and beautifully animated.

Kiki's Delivery Service was one of the first anime films I watched. Everyone at Elementary School hated to watch it every year because it was the lunch lady's favorite movie, but every time it played, I was entertained. I love the movie a lot. The lunch lady passed away around 2004/5 I believe and they played the movie again as a tribute so I guess the movie has a little more meaning to me lol.

Pokemon 3 The Movie is also another favorite anime movie of mine. My father bought it for me on DVD and I love the entire soundtrack, the theme, the battles. It was all so epic and fun.

Other than Persona 3, it will have to be Kara no Kyoukai series.
I liked the whole concept and even the messed up timeline was interesting =D

 

[esperance]

I'm sure plenty of people have heard of it, but my favorite full-length film anime is Princess Mononoke.

 

[Espeonrules]

Mine is Sprited Away, hands down. It's such a beautiful movie. Man, all of Miyazaki's films are AMAZING.

I also loved Pokemon: The First Movie. It holds a special place in my heart since it was the first anime movie I'd ever watched...I begged my parents to get it for me, haha. The part where Ash turns to stone still has me in tears anytime I see it.

I like Spirited Away as well, and also Howl's Moving Castle. You know, childhood favorites. Also, the Bleach movies and Wolf Children Ame and Yuki.

I remembered another favorite of mine, Tekkonkinkreet. It's pretty trippy, and the art style is really interesting.

I love Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service. I remember when Disney channel would show Kiki's Delivery Service every October. I'd watch that all the time.

I grew up with the Pokémon movies but never really considered them as their own thing, y'know? My first 'legit' anime movie was Spirited Away, and it remains one of my top favorites just for the memories with it. Since then though, his other movies like Howl's Moving Castle and From Up On Poppy Hill have been some of my favorites.

I think a strong contender for my all-time favorite anime movie is Wolf Children.

 

[Professor_Jared]

Summer Wars, Macross: DYRL, Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, and Lupin the III: The Castle of Cagliostro, because it was hard to choose just one and because all of these films are my favorites when it comes to anime films.

Good to see I have a couple of Kikibros in here. Such a perfect film, one that I have a lot of nostalgia for but still love as much now as I did back then.

 

[Altairis]

I really liked Summer Wars, Wolf Children, and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. More recently I watched The Wind Rises which was also a pretty good film.

 

[Rogue planet]

Can't argue with Ghibli, all of them are brilliant of course. I love Only Yesterday and Whisper of the Heart. I think all Ghibli films are worth watching, yes even Ocean Waves, but maybe not Earthsea.

Anyway my favourite is the second Patlabor film. Well animated, interesting story (reminds me of Metal Gear Solid) consider a watch if you like ~srs~ anime, directed by Mamoru Oshii.

 

[PiaCRT]

Castle in the Sky fo' sho'. Mononoke and Kiki's Delivery Service are close runner-ups.

 

[deoxysoutrage]

Spirited Away is awesome. Pokemon 2000 is another one I'd put high up there, but I think that's more for nostalgic reasons than actually being a "good" film. And well, DBZ Battle of Gods was quite good, too.

 

[elnoor]

I love most of the ghibli movies great story and art. Also because the creator also made a childhood favorite anime called Future Boy Conan my favorite. But recently I just watched an anime called the girl who leapt through time amazing great story art funny also kind of sad but I loved it.

Probably 5 centimeters per second, hands down.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was fantastic, and I personally love Miyazaki's films and would normally say they're my favorite but I would feel like a bandwagon. Instead, I'll just say that the Inuyasha movies never get old. Except the first one, I never loved it. But Fire on Mystic Island is probably my favorite since Castle Through the Looking Glass reminds me of Inception now and I just

 

[elnoor]

Probably 5 centimeters per second, hands down.

I seen that it was definitely unique cause I did not see an anime story told in that way before.

 

[Raven Valt]

I would say that Higashi no Eden Movie and number 2 would have to be my favourite anime movie(s), Mainly because the only other anime movies I've seen are pokemon ones.
