The only Shonen Jump, ie Naruto/One PIece/Bleach etc movie that I really rate as a movie is Bleach Memories of Nobody. That actually felt like a feature film ahead of being just an extended filler episode with a higher budget. It might have had the typical girl guest star for the duration, and had to fit in the narrative without adding to it, but it was less about the action, and more about getting to the emotions of the audience.
It's the one such film that I am happy to rewatch. Disclaimer: I am not a fan of the Bleach series, or the other movies. It's at the bottom of the long running shonen pile for me. |

And yet another one of those "Brotherhood is Superior" rants. How the hell is this shonen battle series filler of a movie superior to the original which had more emotion and characterization? I had more reason to care about our world's version of Lyra than a cut and paste separated siblings story with a family friend / servant who became the antagonist cliche. And Lyra only had a 5 second non-speaking cameo. |

Children Who Chase Lost Voices is decent, but I always have a hard time watching it and trying not to call it Neon Ghibli Evangelion.
I have seen clips of Penguin Memories at late night screenings before, and do wish to be able to see the full movie. I also want to hunt down a copy of A Journey through Fairyland (I get Angel's Egg vibes from the shown visual. |

I can not disagree with that, though personally I feel Hell Verse is a better movie, it does suffer somewhat by being TOO tied into the events of the manga's first arc. |

Doing better...of this part of Mike's list, I've heard of 11 and seen 7 of those.
I'll start with WIndaria--am I correct that the film has never been licensed in the US in its original form? I saw Macek's "version" years ago, of course, but would love to see the film as is really is. (I have a region-free player; is there a foreign release somewhere?) I have but dim memories of Locke the Superman and Demon City Shinjuku. The former left the impression of cheesy fun, while the latter had moments where it just creeped me out. Nice to see that Discotek has relicensed both. From Up On Poppy Hill was a solid effort, exactly as Mike described. It makes me hopeful that Goro can do even better in the future. Also, I can see why Area 88 made the cut, and Children Who Chase Lost Voices is now on my immediate to-watch list. But for me, the real gem in this set is The Sky Crawlers. It's slow, methodical, and (at least for me) succeeded in building a cold undercurrent of sickening dread, depression, and pity. It's a film that demands your patience and attention, but I'm okay with that. |

Will Venus Wars really crack the top 50? Or is it not on the list at all?! I quiver with anticipation at the ranking of one of my favorite anime films of all time.

I have the ADV re-release, and I can confirm it only contains Episode 1 and 3 on two discs. |

Getting into the realm of several things I've heard of, and even seen, but still lots of interesting-sounding stuff that I've never come across. I'm also a bit perplexed by seeing Milos show up here, though. It wasn't actively bad or anything, but it left pretty much no impression on me beyond the strange character design choices. Shamballa was at best an unnecessary sequel to a fantastic series, was pretty messy overall, and wound up screwing over a bunch of characters for no good reason, but even so, at least it actually tried to do something beyond the bog-standard Shounen Jump movie formula.
Speaking of, if Shounen Jump movies are fair game, I'm really hoping Mike slips One Piece Movie 6 in there somewhere. It has Mamoru Hosoda's talented fingerprints all over it, and it's both tonally and artistically distinct from anything else in the entire franchise. |

It's not only Arion but basically all the movies he did in this period that Yasuhiko keeps resenting. (at least, it doesn't prevent the movies to be published out of Japan)
I was certain I saw the Locke movie in the first part of the list. Was it removed? o_o |

I'd have put the Sailor Moon R movie instead of the S movie on this list, while I love both, I'd be the first to admit the S movie is extremely overrated was unfortunately the weakest of the three movies (in my eyes), it's still a very good movie, with very high quality animation from Toei, but it focused too much on Luna, as much as I love her, and not as much on the other Sailors. Compared to the manga version, once again, I prefer the movie version, no offense to Naoko, but the manga version of it looking back on it is just boring, very tiny amount of action and only one battle where the Inner Senshi are involved (and they don't even attack). Ikuhara didn't leave Sailor Moon though at this point, he left in SuperS. The SuperS movie was the first one I saw, and I'm probably the only one who loved it as from what I've seen from recent reviews and such, I'm guessing not many Sailor Moon fans like it, I don't understand why though, I liked the story, the characters were used fine, and the animation was the best for a Sailor Moon production.
Interesting bit of trivia there, Kaguya is voiced by the original Cutey Honey (from the 1973 series). |
