Thank God For Anime
Posted: Tue 19 Jun 2007 5:33 pm
Don't know about you guys but I find that the easiest thing to watch without any aid is animated films and programmes, problem is that in britain we just see it as something for the kids.
Now there are shows like the simsons and futurama along with some of those late night BBC things, but these are all comedy, and I watch enough of that.
So I'm using this thread a a salute to those Japanese animators who bring me films that are adult and that I can watch even when I'm pretty tired.
I thought I'd also give a few recommendations as these films can be either really good (Akira) or Really bad (legend of the overfiend)
So here's a couple of good ones to watch.
AKIRA
Appleseed
Tekken (only on VHS - Vary hard to find)
Fist of the North Star - series and original film (film on VHS only)
Street Fighter II - The Animated Movie
Here's one that's for those not wanting violence
Grave of the Fireflies - War time film about 2 young children - very sad and yet uplifting
So if you know of any others please recommend them to me as I have a feeling I'll be relying on these for many years to come.
