What's your favorite anime film, /a/?

>>141195868
It's a great film in its own right, but I think it's the weakest one from Kon.
I don't know maybe this or Only Yesterday
Probably EoE or DYRL
Laputa or Jin-Roh, can't decide.
Angel's Egg if OVA's count.
Akira, time of eve, EoE, Harmony
>>141196153
What's the appeal of 5cm aside from the visualgasm?
EoE, but aside from that obvious choice I can't pick between Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, Paprika, Time of Eve, and Spirited Away.
Wolf Kids
it's a reminder of the dangers of race-mixing
>>141195662
This movie was so fucking comfy
I see people are already giving the meme answer of EoE. Classic /a/.
>>141196229
As in the Itoh thing? Was it that good? I haven't seen it yet.
>>141196271
How does the movie compare to the OVAs of Time of Eve?
>>141196350
The movie is almost exactly the same as the OVAs, but with a really smooth transition between episodes. I think there are a handful more scenes in the movie, but you're not missing out on too much watching one or the other.
>>141196312
Easily the most underrated Ghibli film. People tend to favor the likes of Spirited Away and Mononoke, but I honestly think that Kiki, Whisper of the heart and the studio's more personal/less ambitious works are better.
>>141195662
Man that's a good movie.
>>141196230
It hits close to home, and it gives me different feels each time I watch it
>>141196230
The MC was too embarrassed to write the girl he was in love with, and over time, that was compounded with the guilt of not having contacted her, but he never got over her, and he let that remain a huge a regret for him that stopped him from ever trying for another relationship.
Even at the end, when he sees her across the train tracks, he still thinks maybe this is his second chance.
And even we (or at least I) as the audience believe (or at least want to) that even though she's getting married, maybe something is going to happen.
But she gives zero fucks, doesn't even talk to him, because she's completely over him and she can tell that he isn't.
It's a parable about A) putting yourself out there, or if that fails, then B) getting over it.
I mean, 5cm is pretty hit-or-miss.
Most people either think it's a fantastic vignette or it's empty as fuck.
>>141195662
The one me and yourwaifumade.
>>141196441
>personal/less ambitious works
>doesn't mention the greatness that is Only Yesterday
Know shame, Anon.
>>141196153
What do you think of the ending of Only Yesterday?
I loved everything up the ending, but I felt like the last few minutes kind of betrayed the rest of the movie, which was about growing up.
Yeah, it was partly about rediscovering her childhood, but I felt like it was also about how she had learned from her past, and her final decision was very much a return to her childlike innocence.
I mean, her plan was "okay, so I'm considering moving out here, let me go back to the city and think it over", and then she suddenly decides, "hey fuck it let's just do it right now."
Sorry, it's just that I haven't seen anyone mention Omoide Poroporo in so long here.
>>141195662
It wasn't perfect, but I have a real soft spot for The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
>>141196593
I hated it the first time I watched it, but I couldn't stop thinking about it, and it strangely grew on me.
Then I rewatched it and now I really enjoy it; probably not my favorite, but still just really quite nice.
>>141196515
I was expecting more from this film considering all the hype surrounding it. Not that it wasn't enjoyable, but I found it to be one of the weakest Madhouse films.
>>141196462

>>141197008
If that was the intention, why would they bother to show her in scenes that are independent of his presence?
If what you're saying is true, I think it would have worked better to only show her at the train crossing, instead of including her preparing for her wedding and then going out for a walk.
>>141197017
This is exactly how I took it. It's a don't take things for granted story. I think it was done quite well overall and really enjoy it. A lot of people just get salty over."bad endings".
>>141197218
I mean, I do think he has a point, in that the plot feels like it just gets dropped in the end.
I kind of just hand-wave it and sweep it under the rug by saying, "well yeah, that's part of the message of not taking things for granted", even though I don't think that was really the intention.
>>141196515
I just gave a few examples to get my point across. Only Yesterday is also among my favorite Ghibli films and it indeed fits in the category that I described.
>>141197278
What do you enjoy about Kiki?
It's one of the few Ghibli films that I actually did not like because it felt very empty to me, but it's been several years since I watched it, and I've been thinking about revisiting it.
Millennium Actress, with Porco Rosso as a close second.
>>141197276
It's not about the ending being bad, sad or anything like that. It's more like the story took a nonsensical turn out of nowhere, they could have kept the ''don't take things for granted'' message without resorting to such a stupid twist.
>>141197218
Always wondered if there was a happy ending hidden in there, or if it was just a bittersweet "what could have been."

I think Porco Rosso was my first anime movie as a lad.
I still remember feeling confused about an animated film handling such serious themes, but getting really emotional during the dreamlike vision of the procession of dead pilots.

This is fucking genius. I think this moment is where the movie really clicked for me and cemented itself as my favorite.
>>141197426
These would be my runner ups actually.
Seen a fair amount of these, can agree on their greatness. Would like to toss in The Wind Rises. That stayed with me for a good while.
The Spirited Away train sequence still makes me tear up for some reason.
Char's counterattack
>>141197464
I was going through an old hard drive the other day when I found a shitty dvd-rip of Porco Rosso. Opened it it up and started skipping through until I found this scene. Watching it, a single tear appeared in my eye. It was weird. That's never happened to me before.
Tamako Love Story is my personal favourite but I've seen most mentioned in the thread and I think they're great too.
It was conceived through fanservice, took half an hour to really start, and turned a conclusive ending to a series into a cliffhanger.
But Rebellion Story still has some of my favorite uses of animation and symbolism that I've seen in a film.

>Seen a fair amount of these, can agree on their greatness.
It's threads like these that make me take a step back and appreciate the richness of the medium. There always seems to be one more film, series, OVA, or short that's worth viewing and recommending.
The library of worthy manga is even more staggering, doubtless.

>>141197327
I like the coming of age aspect of the story. It has magical aspects to it, but if you take that away the movie turns into just a girl coming into terms with her own insecurities and trying to establish a new life in a unknown town. Some people find it to be rather plain, but that's exactly what makes it great to me because it seems genuine and not something overly dramatized, which is the same reason why I love Whisper of the Heart, both of these films have drama, however I view them as being more genuine and honest dramas than most anime or live action films out there. To put it simple, most of the things that Kiki got through in the film are simple and in a way, rather ordinary, but at the same time they're conveyed in such a relatable and honest way that I can't help but feel really immersed in the whole thing.
I also really love the comfy but at the same time motivational atmosphere that the movie has. It's rather difficult to convey in words, but I always get filled with tenderness, joy and inspiration when I watch this movie for some reason.
I can't stop loving you
>>141196221
This movie kinda unsetlled me
It's hard to narrow it down to one
Out of the list I probably like Innocence the best, Only Yesterday coming in at a close second
>>141197572
I never understood the train sequence, but it always felt so unknown and unsettling but appealing at the same time.

I would also recommend you to revisit the movie. Maybe it isn't your cup of tea but maybe you just have to watch with the right mentality to really appreciate it. I mean, I didn't really liked Grave of Fireflies at first but after revisiting it some years ago the feeling of the film finally got to me, and I begun to appreciate it much more.

Ban evading is against the rules, you know.
>>141198312
I think most western critics really missed the point of the movie to be honest.
>>141198388
That animation style. Wew lad.
>>141198329
I'd say.
>>141197800
It was a pretty solid movie for the most part. It's unusual to pick such a modern anime movie and I think that's why you are being criticized but I enjoyed it in its entirety and loved the cake song.
>>141198462
This. Every actual critic thinks it's just anti-war, and every smug wannabe critic thinks it's about preaching how hard life in the 40s was to young nips, because of that Takahata quote that's abused everywhere, so they act like the kid being stupid is a hole, when that's the whole point.

I definitely remember Ebert's text review calling it a war movie, though - I think he compared it to Come and See, of all fucking things - and I don't see it as being about that at all.
>>141198992
You don't talk to the trash. You throw it.
>>141198599
This is a classic case of people(especially wannabe intellectuals) twisting the meaning of a work because they are so stuck up on their own agenda that they can't see it in a neutral light.
I like simple stories. I remember the dialogue being pretty good and all Kon's movies look great.
>>141198831
I think the film is more about how isolationism and pride can be destructive to ourselves as time goes on.
>>141198831
>enough of Asakura.
It doesn't have enough Haruhi. Fuck Asakura
>>141199122
I like this one too. I think Kon's much better as a romantic than a cynic, this and Millennium Actress are beautiful films.
>>141197335
>Millennium Actress
Came here to post this.
It's 1000 years of history in 100 years of film in the span of one enigmatic actress's life.
Easily one of the best and I just can't wait to see ... more from... ... Satoshi Kon... ... ...
>>141198388
>>141198497
this movie prob has the most beautiful backgrounds out there.
>>141199286
Kaguya-hime is probably the movie I was most impressed with in that regard
>>141199379I know, but Haruhi just isn't the same thing without Haruhi. The movie was good but the entire time I had a feeling that something was missing.
>>141198001
That's what it excelled at. It's slow and quiet with barely any dialogue, but it builds on this oppressively lonely atmosphere underneath it all.
It's the feeling of exploring a dead world where the only people who are left don't even know who they are anymore.
>>141198831
Maybe I should watch it again. Made me tear up a bit, but I didn't see nothing special about it. For me, it's already difficult to take a cartoon seriously, and when an anime takes itself very seriously it just bored me.
>>141199447
Do you have any idea of how stupid you sound? That's the point!

>>141199533
>and when an anime takes itself very seriously it just bored me.
You must really hate anime then. One of the biggest differences between anime and western animation is that the first generally takes itself much more seriously, while the later doesn't have any ambition aside from cheap jokes and random humor.
>>141199533
>That's the point!
I literally agreed with him. Doesn't change the fact that the most charismatic characters was missing from the movie for the most part and that I was just stating my opinion about that. I wouldn't complain about it if Yuki and Mikuru were interesting characters, but they really aren't, at least not to me.
>>141199683
Nah, I don't hate anime. I'm just a more simplistic person. I like silly and childish things. Something that is emotional and funny and yet not very serious. Still, that doesn't mean that I can't be a serious person and enjoy some serious anime sometimes.
Patlabor 1
Bah, I'm bored. I'm going to watch that movie again. I don't remember when I watch it, but I only watch it once.
I don't remember very much so it's going to be like almost like the first time.

The fist of the north star movie is pretty great, even as a stand alone movie.

>>141196271
out of those millennium actress is my favorite. the ending is just so good.
>>141200147
What the fuck you want
>>141199935
I'm not criticizing the movie for not giving more screen time to Haruhi, I understand that was the point and I know it actually benefits from the lack of her. However, maybe I can't help but get a little frustrated when I rewatch it because that movie will most likely be the last anime interaction that we're going to get from the series and it barely shows the main star of it. Maybe if we got a S3 I wouldn't have this weird feeling of ''I want more Haruhi even though the point of the whole thing is Haruhi disappearing''
I agree with most of your points though.
>>141199589
I found the animation to be overwhelming. Story wasn't engaging enough to match it.
How do so many people love Spirited Away? Watched it at age 8 or so and it creeped me the fuck out and haven't wanted to watch it ever sincejust like Alice in Wonderland.
Anyways, I'll say Honneamise since it's the only unusual one, my other favorites are the usual EoE, GitS, Time of Eve, Princess Mononoke, Millenium Actress and Akira
>>141200518
Spirited Away is good but extremely overrated.

Akira. Imagine being hopeless addicted to animation in your late teens (late 80s/early 90s), but all you see is shit in America. Then you get this 3-4th gen VHS copy (barely watchable) of an animated movie that actually has mature subject matter and a serious story. After that, there was never any going back.
Wasn't until several years later did I get to see my next film at a rental store called "Warriors of the Wind". Rented the fuck out of it.
>>141200579
Yeah, fuck that, I've seen some heavy shit, but what scares you as a child does stick with you
>>141196549
I don't see why it is bothering you.
Truth remains the same no matter what you are. Life in the country side is better, there is no reason for her not to return here.
Being grown up does not really mean anything.
It was a very lucid decision, why cope with a superficial and sad life in the city if happiness and plenitude resides in the countryside.
I feel like you are making the mistake of associating "being grown up" (which does not mean much in the first place) and having tolerate the absurdity of day to day life.
Going to a work you don't like so that you can live, why not grow up your own food and be happy.
I feel like the part about fractions was a reflexion about the meaning of abstract concept and how accepting them can create a false state of understanding, just so that you can "fit in".
She said screw that, and I agree with her choice.
And I love Omoide Poro Poro too by the way great movie.

>inb4 I was pretending to be retarded
>>141204632
Well I did pretend to be retarted because the question is dumb in the first place.
They made a decision to make an animated movie, they made the decision to have a female lead.
Why did they they make this shot or this shot, why is there this sound effect at this particular frame?
Why do you make a painting of a scene instead of using your camera?
Animation has intrinsic qualities and they decided to go for this medium. That is all, the rest is your own interpretation.

The unapologetic bittersweetness the film have. A crucial poignant tale of the reality of life and friendship. The characters have a certain passivity to them, they could have changed their lives if they initially acted differently.
After the protagonist wrote a confessional love letter, he lost it, and when he meet with that friend from childhood a few years later and kissed. He didn't reciprocate because he thought the loss of the letter signified something.
Then, there were the tomboy, who fell in love the protagonist during high school and couldn't articulate how she felt so she opted to walk home with him until she realized he were looking elsewhere and not at her, she decided she'll always love him despite the unrequited love.
Years, later protagonist meet with the childhood friend albeit indirectly near the train tracks, didn't speak a word and only glanced at her while the train passed and obscured their vision of the other.
If you look pass the romance, it's about loneliness, nobody found it. They resigned themselves to what they perceived were right for themselves or the other, if they communicated their sentiments sincerely, maybe the outcome could've turned out different.

The greatness in Spirited Away is in it's setting.
Ghibli is usually really good with that, but in that movie they went a step up.I, personally, have never watched anything better than SP regarding it
Everything feels utterly alive, and the bathhouse is presented in a way that if you were to be left alone in there you would know how to walk around it.
It's just a complex building showed in the best way possible with colorful and vibrant characters. Just like a japanese folk-tale.

Glad to see others enjoyed it, I watched it a few days ago and it was much, much better than I was lead to believe.
When I think about my favorite anime "film," a lot of no-brainers come to mind.
I really love Jin-Roh. The first time I watched it I thought it was kinda cool but often boring. That's going into it expecting an action movie, though.
I ended up watching it two, three, probably four times over the years, and I ended up liking it more and more each time. Totally opposite of what I experience with a lot of contemporary live action movies, which are fun the first time around but a total bore if you watch it again. Really helps that the movie is visual eye-candy in a really non-flamboyant way.

Yup my #1 movie...hosoda is a god.
>>141211658
Crap, it's been over a year and a half since I've seen it. That movie made me feel weird. I really enjoyed it, and it didn't make me feel immediately sad while watching it. But I felt somewhat melancholic for about a day afterward.
As of a few days ago, Omoide no Marnie.
Also the only anime to go the full length and make me cry. It reminded me of my grandfather.
Ocean Waves
Redline.

Right? It's a very complex and challenging movie. There's so much to it beyond what's on screen, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

No better light show for a pop concert than all-out space warfare eh?

Now that's a pretty offbeat choice. I haven't seen it myself since I can't imagine enjoying it, but I very rarely see it mentioned. Definitely one of the "deeper cuts" posted in this thread.
Every Kon's movies are all up there, even above Only Yesterday and Kaguya that I absolutely adore. I never grow tired rewatching all of them. It's so impressive that he can direct different genres while ensuring no one film is less entertaining than the other. I wish someone would adopt his directing/writing style.
Honorable mention to My Neighbour the Yamadas. Not everyone might like it, but personally the simplicity and the ambiance of the movie appeal to me.

You just posted it. So I'll post my second favorite.

Porco Rosso because it's just so damn comfy
>>141215234
Do not use the 'er' version please.
>>141205160
Whisper of the Heart is basically the improved version of Ocean Waves. But even then, both movies are good. You're just working way too hard to be a contrarian to like the 'less popular' thing.

Never ever.

Anime films suck.
>>141216145
No YOU suck!
>>141198281
all maymays aside, what anime is that from?
Laputa and Tokyo Godfathers are pretty good as well.
Anyone who mentioned Hosoda in here should kill himself.
>>141196230
Well for me, nostalgia. It was one of the first anime movies I watched, and at the time, I thought it was so profound and beautiful. Also, I love stories where we seem the characters age. I think it's a really endearing film.
>>141216648
It's a shitty movie honestly (and I'm usually a sucker for romance in a short format) you are doing yourself a favor by not watching it, I actually dropped the movie halfway through

Let me rephrase to "I loved it" then.

Practically a must watch movie on Christmas eve. If you're the type who's spending Christmas eve by yourself in your room.

Same
Gets me everytime
>>141206530
I agree. I admired the same thing about the film but never could explain it. Beautiful.
>>141199122
I watch this every december with my cousin
>>141196230
What really hit me was the development of their relations. They were in love, never thinking they would be apart. Then life happened, and both drifted away. It went from "I want to be with you forever" to "If I see you from afar I probably wouldn't even wave"

Princess Mononoke
First time I saw it was when I was 10 or so on a random movie channel. I didn't even know the difference between a cartoon and anime was at the time, and it stuck with me how adult it was.
Will always be my favorite Ghibli film.
>>141220360
Watching Mononoke young is the best thing ever, along with Laputa, such a powerful experience
>>141220098
One of the last few recent movies I haven't seen yet. Hope it's good.
>>141220505
It's a bit childish and bright, but it tug on my heart strings. Hope you like it anon.
>>141204388
This always seems like a silly question. For one, why is live-action the default? For another, if you're a fucking animator/animation director, obviously you're going to be biased towards making an animated movie. The question would only really make sense if the creator was from a live-action background and decided to cross over.
Kiki's Delivery service is comfy as fuck.
>>141195662
Nice rec thread
Something that hasn't been mentioned yet is Princess Arete. I swear it's a secret masterpiece, not nearly as well known as it deserves. Y'all should watch it. Director has a new movie out this year too.
>>141204388
Japs are ugly
>>141214906
Memories was kinda underwhelming for me. Animation for animation's sake, which was very impressive no doubt, but I wanted something a bit more.
Not really my favorite but critically underrated.
>>141221751
This was fun. It never wowed me but it had some nice moments Glad I watched it even if it didn't leave a big impression on me.

I wish ufo and Hirao would do more stuff like this instead of just VN/game adaptations.

>>141196441
Porco Rosso is my favorite
Patlabor 2
>>141222724
How is it compared to other Oshii, like Ghost in the Shell? I think he has an interesting style but I dislike how cold and analytic his usual content feels. I'll definitely get around to watching Patlabor though, it looks gorgeous from what I've seen and it's far too influential to skip.

Are you retarded?I really don't understand this question. Are you saying that it shouldn't be anime because it's grounded on reality?If so, then you could say the same thing about any Kon movie, or about Kaiji, Monster, Grave of fireflies and any other anime that doesn't have fantasy elements.
>>141223847
It's a weird delusion I've been seeing over the past few months or so, where people seem to think animation has to justify itself or "take advantage of the medium" as they say. I can see where that mindset comes from but jeez it's a dumb one.
>>141222908
Patlabor 2 is more interesting compared to the rest of Patlabor because of how he basically turns it into proto-GitS in terms of tone and characters. It's the odd one out, or at least it would be if the third movie didn't exist.
>>141223984
>take advantage of the medium
And where did the idea that putting fantasy elements at everything is the same as taking advantage of the medium?I can put fantasy elements and unrealistic stuff in live-action movies as well, I mean, capeshit is one of the most popular genres of live-action movies these days and they're nothing more than bad shonens really. Hell, some of the most popular films of all time, like Harry Potter and Stars wars are completly unrealistic, and by that anon's logic ''there's no reason to make them live-action''.
So it's not that the idea of taking advantage of the medium is silly, just that these anons have no fucking idea what this statement means in the first place and like to repeat it just because it makes them feel smart.
