anime list

Okay! Okay! I am on a roll here, people. I also have been reading too much Barbara Park lately. My next random slip of paper is my list of Anime movies or series that I at least want to see, if not own. This is compiled from other people's lists and descriptions that interested me. It is not meant to be any kind of definitive list of good anime, just my personal interest list. Feel free to comment if you think any are particularly good or should be avoided.

Perfect Blue
Ninja Scroll
Akira
Shinkai Collection
Voices of a Distant Star
The Place Promised in Our Early Days
Final Fantasy Spirits Within
Origin Spirits of the Past
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Steinboy
OOOPS, that's Steamboy, cannot read my own writing, altho' maybe steinboy might be good
Wings of Hohneamise
Metropolis
Mushi-shi
Tokyo Godfathers
Kanon
and of course, High School Rumble

We have Metropolis, but I haven't seen it for years. I was highly attracted to the style of the characters with the big, round toes of their shoes poking out from under their pants.

Final Fantasy Spirits Within (if I'm thinking of the right thing) was the first movie my husband and I ever saw in the theater together, back when we first started dating. I would actually like to see it again to check out the computer animation. It was new at the time and we were so impressed with how real everything looked. I also recall that there was talk of making the female lead in that movie into a kind of virtual actress. They would use the same model, but put her in different roles in different movies, just like we do with real live actresses. I thought it was a neat idea.
