number ten millennium actress in this
film from the director of perfect blue
Satoshi Kon to documentary filmmakers
seek out yoko Fujiwara an actress long
missing from the spotlight this is how
it all began
I can seize your head upon finding her
the two are thrust into a tale through
time as Chioggia reminisce about her
acting career although khan traded the
dark and bleak atmosphere of perfect
blue for a much more optimistic and
celebratory tone in this work millennium
actress still sports the director’s
highly engaging and trippy storytelling
style that you’d expect it’s an honor to
serve someone with such compassion
number nine wolf children it’s a
fairytale romance with an unexpected
dose of reality 19 year old Hana falls
in love with a mysterious Wolfman and
ends up having two children
snow and rain you can only be one thing
would you be people or wolves though she
tries to hide her children unique
heritage from the world there’s only so
much that Hana can do when her kids are
energetic well you know wolf children
told mostly through the animation with
minimal dialogue wolf children is a
fantasy for sure but the film isn’t
devoid of real-world problems like
raising a family being different in
society and finding one’s place in the
world the bright red line L made three
caps of nitro for the red line three cap
whoa there grandpa
this hot-blooded feature follows a racer
named JP who enters the red line a
deadly space race where stayin alive may
be the ultimate victory anyway so much
blood sweat and tears clearly went into
making redline the Marvel that it is
the story might be pretty fit but what
really gets your attention is the
absolutely stunning animation being
thrown your way if you’re looking for an
adrenaline rush of an anime red line
this is a perfect choice number seven
ghost in the shell’ as the anime film
that redefines the cyberpunk genre ghost
in the shell’ follows the major and her
elite section nine unit as they track
down an infamous hacker besides an
amazing blend of 2d and 3d animation
ghost in the shell’ features a darker
take on the possibilities of man and
machine coming together in the near
future if man realizes technology is
within reach he achieves it like it’s
damn near instinctive with a powerful
combination of philosophy and action
it’s no wonder that this film has become
such an inspiration beyond the realm of
anime and into cinema next time use the
fact or number six Howl’s Moving Castle
after accidentally offending a witch a
young girl named Sophie is cursed to
look like an old woman
or only hope for a cure is to seek out
the feared wizard howl and of course his
you know Moving Castle as one of Studio
Ghibli higher-end movies the animation
quality speaks for itself however it’s
still the characters that proved to be
the real draw of this whimsical fantasy
from the curious and straight-laced
Sophie to the suave but childish howl
this eclectic group of characters are
easily one of the most recognizable in
anime film look look what you’ve done to
my hair wasn’t pretty Tara number five
the disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
picking up where the TV series leaves
off SOS Brigade member kyon wakes up one
morning to discover that the heroine no
longer exists but as this a blessing her
occurs disappearance trades much of the
humour that the series is known for in
exchange for a very deep and
surprisingly emotional character study
it also works as a standalone story
without much need of prior knowledge to
enjoy plus you’ll be sucked in by the
visuals which are some of Kyoto
animations absolute best what it is
sighs well done
okay provide whatever our products turn
AutoKey notebook with a chemical tunnel
season what they done done I know number
four
Princess Mononoke war erupts between
forest spirits and industrialized humans

cursed Prince to restore peace and
balance
[Music]
Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli are at
their best with this epic fantasy
adventure the animation still stands the
test of time the characters are well
written and the eco-friendly message
never hits a preachy level Princess
Mononoke has been hailed as cinematic
brilliance not just as an anime but
that’s a film in general would be a
special to humans never look good number
three your name to teenagers
Mitsuo and Tati find themselves in a
body swapping paradox that will change
their lives forever
although director makoto shinkai was not
completely satisfied with his work here
your name has become an immediate
success already hitting the spot as the
highest grossing animation
yes not for me miss pearl the phone
constantly exceeds your expectations of
what it’s about shifting genre and every
key point in its plot but still
retaining its message of love and
growing up honestly the less you know
about this film going in the better so
we’ll keep it short the day a star fell
it was almost like like seeing something
out of a dream number two Akira Neo
Tokyo 2019 a war is about to erupt
between a psychically powered teenager
and the Japanese military you understand
don’t you are you a spy not almost 30
years later it’s all still awesome a
kadai remains a powerful staple in the
world of anime it’s mature storytelling
and visual brilliance make it a hallmark
saccharin some intense action one of the
best musical scores attached to an anime
and the legendary battle cries of the
two leaves and you’ll see why for a long
time Ikeda has been held in such a high
regard ha

cadetship the world the more mature side
