    nope, not in any way, shape or form.

    also... Grave of the Fireflies, but make sure you have a LARGE box of tissues, and a saline drip, you'll need serious rehydration after.

    and also I saw Jin roh here! Awesome flick, can't believe I forgot it.

    A good chanbara anime movie that I never seem to see mentioned enough is Sword of the Stranger. Good story, nothing incredibly deep really but still good, but the action scenes are some of the best that I've seen in the genre. The way they move is animated in such a way that it looks realistic. The music is really good too.

    Should watch any Ghibli film you haven't watched yet. Even some of the lesser known ones like Only Yesterday and I Can Hear the Sea.
    Voices of a Distant Star and other Mokoto Shinkai works.
    Perfect Blue and other Satoshi Kon works.
    The 2nd movie of Patlabor. and other Mamoru Oshii works.
    The Wings Of Honneamise.

    There are a couple that are related to anime series that are considered classics.
    Char's Counter Attack
    Macross: DYRL (don't really have to watch the series to watch this)
    Kimagure Orange Road: I Want to Return to That Day
    etc

    Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal was pretty awesome. The rest of the franchise was a little too shonon-ey for my taste.

    Evangelion 1.11 and 2.22: WARNING: if you're not good with Cliffhangers, don't start watching this yet, the end of 2.22 is..... fucking hell, RELEASE 3.33 already!
    Why didn't I listen to you? I crave 3.33 now! lol
    Thanks for all the recommendations. I've watched a few of them, and so far, I've enjoyed each one

    It is one of my favourites too, if u don't mind that it is a hentai movie and can see past the tentacle rape to enjoy the story, which is pretty good.

    Try Vexille:

    From Wiki: By the 2060s, robotics technology has become extremely advanced, including cybernetics. World opinion begins to turn against robotics, leading to the U.N. declaring a unilateral ban on further research in 2067. Japan, being home to robotics pioneer Daiwa Heavy Industries, strongly protests this ban, but is unable to prevent its passage. In protest, Japan withdraws from international politics. All foreigners are deported, and further immigration is prohibited. In addition, the R.A.C.E. network is constructed — 270 off-shore installations that cover Japan with an energy field, nullifying all communication with the outside world and making satellite surveillance impossible. Trade and diplomacy continues, but Japan vanishes from the world scene.

    -> US Team is infiltrating japan to see whats going on in there and is going to be surprised.


    Armitage III dual and polymatrix are my personal favourites, but it is a bit old.
