This is one of those pages that is pretty much defunct.
I suggest you check out my much less defunct page: The A-List.
CONTENTS
| The anime version of Video Girl Ai, a heartrending short series about a boy's love gained and lost when he rents a tape from a magical video shop. |
| Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind. A truly amazing film by Hayao Miyazaki. A battle to save the resources of a dying planet. Breathtaking art and moving story-line. However, the English version, due to poor editing, pales in comparison. |
| With no robots, no supernatural forces, no magic at all except for what can be found in everyday life, Maison Ikkoku is a light-hearted romantic comedy from Rumiko Takahashi. Life isn't easy for a poor third-rate college student struggling to get through a third-rate college and finding odd jobs, especially if he's trying to impress the woman that he loves, who also happens to be the manager of his apartment. |
| Akira. One of the defining differences between the target audience of Japanese vs. American animation. Set in post-apocalyptic Tokyo, with violence and no-holds barred realism only a government's holocaust can bring. See a Voyager clip. |
| Another excellent fantasy from Hayao Miyazaki, about the search for a legendary floating city, Laputa. Like Nausicaä, a good deal of advanced "rural-primitive" technology. |
| Ranma 1/2 by Rumiko Takahashi. Martial arts, half-crazed fathers, violent classmates, and the ever powerful presence of cold water to change unwilling victims into their worst nightmares...it's a comedy, really it is. |
| Again by Hayao Miyazaki. Just because the main character is a pig does not necessarily make Porco Rosso a comedy. Set in Italy circa the time of the Red Baron, when planes dueled in the skies for life and glory, it is actually rather serious as anime goes. |
| Another great film from Hayao Miyazaki, Kiki's Delivery Service is the story of a young girl setting out to make her own way. Only she comes from a family of witches. Amazing art and more breathtaking flight scenes familiar in Miyazaki's work. |
| Kimagure Orange Road. A high school student is torn between the girl of his dreams and the feelings of a self-proclaimed girlfriend. Throw into this love triangle some telekinesis, teleportation, and telepathy; stir well; and you've got yourself quite a mess on your hands. |
