Gimme some good action anime movies to watch.
Already seen GitS, Akira, Sword of the Stranger, Redline, Batman: Gotham Knight, Highlander Search for Vengeance, no DBZ movies please, or anything that belongs in a set universe that needs further watching, the more self contained the better.

Project A-Ko
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdX6U5OOoag

A-Ko is a movie where the heroine boards a ship in the sky by using the missiles its firing as stepping stones.

Patlabor 1 & 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCxKs9tYhn4

An OVA series precedes Patlabor but I don't think it has to be watched or that most people today have even seen it.

Watch Studio Ghibli and that's it. You've watched everything anime has to offer.

Riding Bean should definitely be seen. Well, it's an OVA but I guess it makes no difference. It's probably the closest thing to an American action movie in anime.

Kara no kyoukai movie series. Skip the one with the sister at curch school (6th?) and the epilogues. Finish with mirai fukuin. Movies get progressively better with 5 being best, so don't fret if you're not into it from the getgo.

Have you even seen Dead Leaves or Wicked City?
>>
>>68986254
Angel's Egg, Tokyo Godfathers, Perfect Blue, Paprika, Memories... not action. I'm not sure about Robot Carnival and Neo-Tokyo but my impression is that they aren't action either.
>>
>>68986326
I'm OP, and I've seen Tokyo Godfathers, Paprika and Memories, I half agree with your post, but those movies had some pretty great action apart from being good dramas/thrillers.
>>
>>68986202
This sounds really interesting, I'll add it to the list
>>
Watch the 3 Berserk movies mayne, theyre pretty fucking good! Even if youve read the manga or seen the old show. It's anime game of thrones plus lovecraft. Some shit CGI in a few parts tho

You're Under Arrest has got some action going on, mostly of the vehicular variety. I don't remember how self-contained the movie was in terms of bringing the viewer up to speed, but there's no plot to the series so it's probably ok. The four part OVA could be watched before that.

Spriggan.
The manga is terrible but the movie is decent.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Probably one of my favorites.

I watched it with my family and they have no idea what anime is and they thoroughly enjoyed it.

Very comfy slice of life movie.

oh fuck. Missed the part you said Action movies. Ignore this suggestion. Though if you every just want an anime movie, check it out.

Escaflowne the movie isn't bad. Though it's based on a series. But the movie does a pretty good job of summing up the series.
