So I’m trying to figure out which version of Urotsukidoji to buy. The link provided is for the UK DVD, but the first comment there says it’s cut. There’s a new DVD & blu-ray, but they don’t have runtimes. Helllllppppppp……

Aside from that, I’m super happy to see Perfect Blue on the list. It would be much, much farther up on my list, though. I also would have added some of Kon’s other stuff, like Tokyo Godfathers or Millennium Actress. Amazing, all of them.

I have to admit that I haven’t seen much of Miyazaki’s works. I’m a bit ashamed of that fact, but there it is.

Ninja Scroll is damn awesome. I don’t think I’ve seen the second one, and what little I watched of the series was definitely not as good. It was cool, just…toned down.

I’ll need a bit more convincing to watch Memories. It didn’t sound very good from its description.

I think Akira and Ghost in the Shell were some of the firs animes I ever saw, and they’re what got me into them.

Someone already mentioned it, but Jin-Roh is awesome as well. Spriggan is pretty sweet, and Ghost in the Shell 2 is more bizarre than the first, but still worthy.

Very nice list, though. I’ll be watching the few I haven’t seen before.

Nice to see Ghost in The Shell mentioned. At times it’s grossly overlooked. Great list

Cat Returns and Totoro would feature in mine, but I also agree with the selection above…so I may just have to extend my list to top 12

Perfect Blue is definitely a good movie although I was left confused at the end ..

more ghibli movies could have been picked and less mecha and violent anime movies added..

More shojo stuff perhaps? – Would have definitely added the pretty and beautiful anime 5cm Per Second, which was nearly made me cry…

Millenium Actress as well as Tokyo Godfathers would be great too .

I love your list, but Spirited Away will be in my number 1 list of top 10 anime.

Grave of the Fireflies is on my Top10 general fave films, so I’m really bias… but it should have been there xD

Tekkonkinkreet’s got really splendid animation and art work, the story seemed a little shaky to some, but it holds fine for me. Animation-wise, it’s flawless.

Nice, but you should have put Karas. Its the top of the line anime.

Enjoy watching anime more than any other kind of movie, it really takes my imagination and runs with it, Miyazaki especially. I thought Princess Mononoke was probably his most grown up film, but Kiki’s delivery service is up there with Spirited Away as two of my favorite of his because it looks at relationships between people and is very aware of the human need to find a purpose within society. Still have to watch The cat Returns and Whisper of the heart in my collection. Laputa was good but a bit long. Must watch Akira again. Ghost in the shell is to cool for school and Urosukidoji is just messed up. Saw it at Uni, never again.
Good list Dan, Keep it up.
