Spirited Away

Best film I saw last year. Japanese animation by Hayao Miyazaki. Also recommend pretty much anything else from him; Nausicaa of the valley of the wind and kiki's delivery service and Laputa: Castle in the sky are the best.

EDIT: As mentioned in the House of Flying Daggers thread, best watched in native language with subs.

 

laputa is probably my favourite japanese animation filme ever. imho it slightly pips spirited away just for the way that robot kicks arse but then that's just me...

 

My favourite is still Princess Mononoke though - something dark & edgy about it. Good English voice acting too.

Spirited Away is a stunning work nonetheless. Wees on Disney from a very great height! Looking forward to Howl's with great anticipation!!

Watched Appleseed (2004) for the first time on sunday. Blew me away - simply breathtaking anime. OK, so its perhaps not as good as GITS 2 in terms of quality of facial animation (appleseed uses facial mo-cap + cgi afaik), but I'll forgive it that ;-)

Also has the obligatory impenetrable Anime story line and completely innapropriate soundtrack too

The Fist of the north Star is my fave. closely followed by Ghost in the shell, Ninja scrolls and legend of the demon womb (uroskudoju (sp?)), but then I always was more of a manga man

 

I was referring to my favourite Miyazaki film! My favourite all-time Anime is probably Ninja Scroll.

btw turtle, I see you're an eddie honda man - i always use Ken. 'Ryyuuuken!' (that was a quad dragon punch with low foot, hard puch combo btw.

(my street fighting days were some of the best!)

 

lol!

SF2 is the best video game ever created. I've been playing it regularly since 1991 (Christ - I've just realised that's 14 years ) and will still be playing it in 50 years time :MILD:

Agreed!

I started on the SNES (although I have played earlier versions) but found SF2 Turbo (with the speed hack) to be the best version. Triple DPs were the ordedr of the day

happy days.

 

Turbo is my second fave - I prefer Super Turbo because of its rock-hard difficulty level (that I still find challenging to this day)!

There have been so many iterations over years though - Alpha, EX, Vs Marvel, Vs SNK etc. Which reminds me, I must get Xbox live and play SF anniversary online sometime!!

Sorry for hi-jacking your thread Hifikrazy - but there's no Zerogain video game forum! (wouldn't want those smelly teenagers lurking 'round here, would we?)

 

adooken!

 

Yippee - its a SF2 fireball-throwing thread!!!!

In that case:

SONIC BOOOOOOOMMMM!!

 

yoga FLAME!!!

 

have you seen the anime movie?

great soundtrack.

 

Spirited Away has to best the BEST anime I have yet seen (and i agree, pee's all over the majority of Disney Drivel).

Slightly better than Akira, princess mononoke etc etc

Can't wait for Miyazaki's next offering
