Amazing Anime Movies (That aren't related to a Series)

[Gate]

Do you guys know of any really good Anime Movies that aren't related to any anime series?
I personally enjoyed one called "The Girl who lept through time", it had great animation and a great story.
Sorry if there is already a topic like this.

Just check my sig. ;)



Lupin is related to an anime series though, but pace and story and characters and humor are just to great to miss it.

Vampire Hunter D (Both of them)

Concubines defending the imperial capitol is a concept made of awesome ^^;;
The scene with the cannon was just amazing, and to top it all off, it's one Pierrot's best titles.

I can't say I've watched most of them, but out of the few I've seen I say Akira, Paprika and Perfect Blue were the best.

I'm just going to add Only Yesterday to this list, because it's an interesting Ghibli film, unlike the Hayao Miyasaki stuff. It's basically a selection of vignettes that are slice of life on growing up, and it's a very mature film, in a way. Well worth a watch.

Jin Roh
Nausicaa
Perfect Blue
Millenium Actress
Grave of the Fireflies
Hoshi no Koe
Armitage III (though the 4 ep OVA was better) and Armitage Dual Matrix
Rurouni Kenshin - Tsuiokuhen (was cut into a movie, this you cannot miss)
Plastic Little (just because every anime fan should know Satoshi Urushihara's artwork, even if he does too much hentai)
Comedy
Metropolis
Shadow Skill
Princess Arete
Tokyo Godfathers
Appleseed 2004 (Yes I'm aware there was an OVA like 15 years prior to this)
Blood: The Last Vampire (no, that piece of sh!t Blood+ isn't really part of this. Think Futakoi and Futakoi Alternative. Very different.)

Bold are shows I'd tie you down to a chair and make you marathon, cuz they are just that great. :p
