I recently started watching anime films but i don't know where to start. I really liked Spirited Away, could you tell me some similar films?

Princess Mononoke which is the superior Miyazaki film

The normie stuff is unironically the best here, watch more Miyazaki, Mamoru Oshii, Katsuhiro Otomo, the list goes on..

All of Miyazakis films have unique characters and stories so there's nothing quite like Spirited Away. But Howls Moving Castle has the crisp animation, fantasy aspects and might be the most similar.

sadly, spirited away is a perfect movie - you can only go downhill

Also watch Akira and the original Ghost in the Shell

Howl's Moving Castle, watch the dub so you can get Christian Bale.

Kimi no Na wa>Spirited Away desu senpai

>Pretty much just watch all of Miyazaki's films.
>Akira
>Ghost in the Shell
>Paprika and Perfect Blue
>Ninja Scroll
>Sword of Stranger (even though it's Chinese)
>Tekkonkinkreet

check out satoshi kons stuff my dude

do this

>Sword of Stranger (even though it's Chinese)
user thats totally false. SotS was directed by Masahiro Andō and animated by studio Trigger

Oh, what am I thinking of then? There was a film with a similar aesthetic that was Chinese made.

The Grave of the Fireflies

ye i've also watched kimi no na wa and cried like a bitch

>Paprika and Perfect Blue
>but not mentioning Kons best work

Watch millennium actress user. It's what I consider to be Kons best.

Also as another user said in anime (well among feature length films at least) the normie stuff is the best. Do not watch anything based on popular anime TV series. The exceptions include Rurouni kenshin : Trust and betrayal and the Bebop movie.

Voices of a Distant Star had me bawling.
Makoto Shinkai's films are beautiful and heartbreaking.

I would also recommend The Animatrix even though it's a series of shorts. But if you like animation for the sake of its art form as well as Matrix lore then you won't be disappointed.

It depends on the mood you want, if you wish for more whimsical adventure Mononoke Hime, Naussica, Castle in the Sky and Howl's moving castle are good Miyasaki Films.

If you want family fun, I recommend Neighbor Totoro, The boy and the Beast, Wolf Children and Leafy a hen in the forest (look for the uncensored korean version).

Akira, Red line, Ghost in the shell and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust are cool for action

And if you have some tissue boxes you want to waste, Grave of fireflies is for you.

What about Hotarubi no Mori e?

Summer Wars is also a good film.

Trigger didn't even exist when Sword of the Stranger came out.

Kimi no na wa is literal teen drama trash, why do people like it?

I didn't understand Akira. Am I a pleb or something? it felt really incoherent.

My Neighbor Totoro has the most similar tone to Spirited Away

>Mamoru Oshii
his only normie film is GitS 1995, the rest of his stuff is generally dismissed as "boring" and "pretentious"

It's appreciated for the animation, not the half finished story.

The movie is just a spectacle. I have no idea if the comic retains real characters.

Summer Wars was trash

I just love this millennial attitude that anything that isn't 11/10 to them is trash.

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle.
Also, Kiki's Delivery Service is a pretty great one too.

it's surrealism.

Plodding if it is.

I'd give it a 4/10 at best, and I unironically enjoy Berserk 2016

What did Sup Forums think of this?

that's subjective, i was more engaged watching it the first time than any weebo movie. i find it beautiful and strange. i can see how you don't like it though.

Why do you think admitting that you have bad taste in anime somehow makes your argument stronger?

i'm not really into the kiddish cutesy anime films but i really liked Kite, the 1999 unrated film version.

How about the Samuel L Jackson version?

Are tv shows allowed?

Why is one of them violating gun safety and the other isn't?

Sammy don't give a shit about gun safety pussy

not a chance, kimi no na wa was decent, it was funny at times, but nowhere near the charm and beauty of spirited away

>millennium actress
Watch this.

Mononoke-hime and Howl's Moving Castle are great, so are Grave of the Fireflies and Totoro.
Akira and Redline are also very good but not made by the same guys.

and fuck dude, I know you just wanted anime films, but you gotta watch One Punch Man!

If dubs urotsuki doji

came here to say this, mononoke is the best ghibli film

Paprika is his only good animated movie, Perfect Blue really didn't do anything for me

>the Bebop movie
great soundtrack aside, its utterly forgettable. They wanted to make it accessible to people who hadn't watched the show, so its story is pointless fluff. Any two parter from the show was superior.

Although I did like the fight scene on the train, and the intro a lot.

I really wish more movies would have a music video for their title credits, its a shame that its pretty much only Bond movies that do that.

Really thought that was boring, except for two or three really good scenes.

>and fuck dude, I know you just wanted anime films, but you gotta watch One Punch Man!
yeah have to echo this, as someone who doesn't often watch anime I thought it was absolutely 10/10. Watch the first episode and see what you think.

boku no pico

Watch Redline when you feel the need to go fast

Patlabor 2 for being oshiis most underated work and an espionage thriller laced with legitimately relevant intelligent thought provoking political discourse aswell as a god tier soundtrack, my fav anime by far.

Arashi no yoru ni.
Theres this little goat and a wolf who accidently meet each other during a thunderstorm, and agree to be friends while in the dark, neither can see or smell the other.
They meet the next day and... its pretty great.
Its the only cartoon thats ever made me cry like a bitch.

You know it's always been a bit concerning to me. I remember someone sending me a link to boku no pico and repeating the famous "LMAO DONT WATCH IT EWWW" years ago, and of course out of curiosity I watched it.

I wasn't disgusted, it was the best porn I've seen in years.

Are people now completely incapable of saying something made them cry without using "cry like a bitch"?

Nice trips. Also most normalfags seem to think that any sign of sad emotion towards a piece of fiction is "gay lmao" so they have to phrase it in a funny quote in order to somehow appear tough to others.

Yes, but theres quite a difference.
Just 'crying' is something you do when you feel a bit of sadness. Sort of like when John Coffee is on death row in the Green Mile. That shit was pretty sad the first time I saw it. I cried pretty hard, but I had my shit together.

Then theres crying like a bitch, which that made me do, where theres not only tears, but you just break the fuck down, your stomach feels queasy, and your nose starts running and you start making noises because shit is just so fucking terrible that you want it to go away.

>great soundtrack aside, its utterly forgettable.

It's a fairly straightforward but highly entertaining movie with plenty of good action. Far from forgettable. It's basically a random episode turned into a feature length and I mean that in a good way.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that someone who enjoyed the girl who leapt through time would also enjoy the cowboy bebop movie. That was the most ridiculously low stakes movie about time travel ever made, it almost felt like self parody.

>I unironically enjoy Berserk 2016
holy fuck fuck off back to whatever hold you crawled out of

I'd recommend some of Satoshi Kon's works like Tokyo Godfathers and Millennium Actress.

Innocence is seriously one of the most pretentious things I've ever seen.

>That was the most ridiculously low stakes movie about time travel ever made

And? It was more of a personal and entertaining story than say Kimi no Wa and it's entirely bland "OMG I have to rescue the entire town from being killed by a meteor shower!!" climax. The pleasure came from watching her antics and abusing the power until she realized there was something more important that it should have been used for, and that's where the drama came from.

Why does a time travel story need to have high stakes?

Does anybody think the Cowboy Bebop movie it's better than the anime as a whole? I catched the movie once on tv and though it was awesome. Then I saw the show and except for maybe 3-4 episodes, I found it very tedious. I know it's supposed to be melancholic but I've seen better.

I suppose that depends on what you want from the series versus the movie.

it's only pretentious if you're not interested in the ideas he's attempting to discuss

He didn't "discuss" philosophy. He just littered his dialogue with philosophical quotes, and did so at the expense of comprehensibility.
