ITS OVER 9000!!!

Dragonball - Good (and at times inappropriately hilarious) manga, but bad anime.
Dragonball Z - Just bad!

Oh, and IT\'S OVER 9000!!!

Okay.. I\'m gonna!!!

Er, got \"Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA)\".

Okay, try again!

Got \"Futa Tooro (formerly known as Mussukeba Sane) refers to the region on the Senegal River\".

Hmm... not working. Time to whip out the Goo-fu!

Oh. Gee, goo-fu was right.

For those who are still curious, try \"futanari\". And definitely not safe for work. Or parents. Or the elderly, small fruit, rocks, people with heart conditions, Chaos marines, and the guy on your right.

Of course, anything buy Hayao Miyazaki (Mononoke Hime, etc).

I love Iron Giant also. As far as series go, it really depends what kind of genre you\'re into. Sure, kids love Dragonball Z and Naruto but I\'m into stuff like Ergo Proxy or anything Steampunky.

As most of the classics for Anime have been mentioned (Akira, Ghost etc.) the only one\'s I feel I would add is Fist of the Northstar (over the top, I know) and Appleseed the remake - up there with Akira and GITS in my mind. Dominion: Tank Police is just funny too. Ninja Scroll should be there too. I guess I forgot Sol Bianca as well. I\'ll stop now.

triede - nice recollection with Riki Tiki Tavi. That one is one of my favorites as well. Now I know how far back you go

As for more American fare, or at least non-Anime - Transformers the movie is still viable. Here\'s a short list of some of my favorites that I\'ve sought out on DVD from my childhood days.

Rock n Rule (Who rules Ohmtown?)
Wizards (I know - Bakshi, but I like Bakshi!)
Fritz the Cat
The Triplets of Bellville (very French)
Cool World (combo real life/animated)
Aeon Flux - The DVD also contains the Liquid Television shorts, all animated - some really good stuff here
Heavy Metal: The Movie (kickin\' soundtrack too!)

 

[frenchkid]

three good ones that haven\'t been mentioned:
-Neo Genesis Evangelion (cult anime)
-Hellsing (one of my favorites)
-Wonderful days (amazing korean anim movie)

Ooh ooh! Transformers the movie (not the new Michael Bay film). The soundtrack for that was fantastic and it was Orson Welles last film too

I...... AM UNICRON

 

[Roger Bunting]

No, no, no, no, no. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is not a must see film. It\'s ok, but just left me with the general feeling of...meh.

 

[Shawn R. L.]

The Yellow Submarine still hold\'s up.

 

[matty1001]

Surf\'s Up, watched it tonight with Laura.
It is really cool, I loved it

Advent Children on the other hand is made of Win and Awesome

Edit: damn websites changing the URLs of stuff!

Wow another fan of \"Twice Upon A Time\".

If you do find this in DVD format give me a link, it\'s an all time favourite of mine.

Can\'t think of many that have been missed.

I\'ve always been a fan of Ranma 1/2 and Lum (Urusei Yatsura), though I wasn\'t a fan of Mason (also by Rumiko Takahashi). Most of it is hilarious, in a pseudo childish, pseudo adult kind of way.

Another one that\'s not the most asthetically pleasing, but a ton of fun if you have ever done any Fantasy Roleplay is Record of Lodoss War.

If you Enjoyed Ghost in the Shell, I strongly suggest the series Stand Alone Complex, and the Second Movie. (There is a new series of Stand Alone I haven\'t seen yet, but I assume it\'s good).

For a bit of live action mixed with pure digital scenery you can check out Sky Captain and the Wold of Tomorrow (filmed entirely on green screen).

Oh yes, they are both absolutely hilarious a large amount of the time. Well worth checking out.

Have to side with Roger Bunting about Fist of The North Star being less than quality, in fact I\'d go so far as to say it\'s all kinds of bad! I actualy quite liked Spirits Within though.

@Gilvan Blight: I found this link on Amazon to download Twice Upon a Time, but I haven\'t tried it. Apparently, the file is erased from your computer 24 hours after it is opened, and I want a permanent copy.

Here\'s the link if you are interested:

Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions!

OH! and if you\'ve ever played Final Fantasy VII then Advent children is a must see!
Awesome CGI and such nostalgia! I love that flick so much *sniff*

@Duende,; Samurai X is depressing in a way. but very thought provoking!
Samurai Champloo, I cant\' argue there, thats is GOOOOD Anime!!!
