![]() ![]() Kara no Kyoukai (might not be what you're looking for, it's not one movie but a series of movies, they're not OVAs I believe, so they may still count) The Celestial Railroad (different from Night on the Galactic Railroad) Here are a few I was recommended but haven't seen yet. ^^^^ Older movies, not amazing, but interesting if you're into exploring older anime. You might have better luck looking for Eng subs from another country's release. English subs? No idea.Īs for Letter to Momo, the great thing is that I'm pretty sure it's been licensed in the US, but porobably won't get a release until sometime next year.Ĭolorful, though, I don't think will get picked up for an English release, because it is a very spiritual movie and probably wouldn't sell too well. The Piano Forest has been licensed and released in Germany, France, and Italy. You have such an extensive collection you might have better luck than I finding something. Well, after doing a bit of research, I discovered I really have no idea how to find out if a dvd release has English subs or not ^.^" I know that Into the Forest of Fireflies has been released in Japan, but haven't discovered anything blatantly saying 'English subs'. Been wanting to see "Do You Remember Love" for some time now, it always appears on "best of anime" lists. ![]() Macross movies - no, not ruling these out. :DĪ Letter to Momo - another film that has been floating around my "to watch" list once I can obtain a legal english sub or dub copy.įrom Up On Poppy Hill / The Wolf Children Ame and Yuki - Ghibli and Hosoda are always on my radar! Yobi, the Five-Tailed Fox - I am going to go buy this now. The Piano Forest - this one was a distant blip on my radar, again - is there a legitimate release with subs?Ĭolorful - I really, really want to see this and have for some time but am waiting for it to get picked up for a release here. Into the Forest of Fireflies - Never heard of this one but it sounds great! Any idea if there is a licensed Blu-ray or DVD release with English subs out there? Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise Oblivion Island: Haruka and the Magic Mirror Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro Interstella 5555: The Story of the Secret Star System I do not support bootlegs.Ĭhildren Who Chase Lost Voices from Deep BelowĬhinese Ghost Story (The Tsui Hark Animation), A All films below were purchased on licensed DVD or Blu-ray, many are non-Region 1 imports. I look forward to what new films you all may introduce me to. Obviously I am not really into some genres such as Shonen, Shojo, Ecchi, Hentai, Magical Girl, Super Sentai, Harem, Yuri and so on. My current choices were never blind buys but rather purchased after careful consideration so even though my collection ranges from slice of life and sci-fi to fantasy and action, I think it represents my tastes. So with those specifications, I hope I can discover some new films. ![]() To me, I go by its original intent so if it's a 2, 4, 6, whatever # episode OVA in Japan but sold as a film in the States, I'd rather it not be suggested - however OVA films that were always films are okay I try to avoid films that were originally released as mini-series OVAs but are re-packaged as films in the U.S. If the film is nether original nor stands alone, but rather is adapted from an anime series or manga - please only suggest it if you think it's truly excellent enough to be worth my time and not just leave me lost If not original films, then my next preference is 'standalone' anime films, that is: if the movie is tied to a light novel, manga, anime series - it be entirely comprehensible and enjoyable on its own accord and would come with no disclaimer like "you should read the book first," "you should watch the anime first," "you will probably enjoy it but you may not fully understand what is going on if it's your first experience with this franchise" - the film should assume no prior knowledge of its source material I strongly prefer original/one-off anime films, that is: movies written for the screen and NOT based on any type of existing source material (novels, plays, manga, comics) It is preferable the film be 40 minutes in length, however I also enjoy anime featurette films 20 to 39 minutes in length It can be from any Asian country: Japan, China, the Koreas, Taiwan I am somewhat particular about what I buy. My current collection is pretty nice and I feel I have been successful in seeking out/tracking down new films.īelow I've listed my current collection. ![]() I have been collecting feature-length (40+ minute) Asian animation movies since 2006. ![]()
