Check out the oriental theatre section, that has a fair bit of anime located within it. Can't think of any myself at the moment though, haven't seen anything good lately

Check out Akira, Vampire Hunter D, then there's this series called Ninja Scroll. The films of Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Princess Mononoke) are also highly appreciated by lovers of animated fantasy films.

Hmm, depends if you're into a more eastern bent like Dragonball or western style like the animated lotr.

The Black Cauldron is an underestimated classic in the western style (but quite kiddy).

For some eastern type stuff, Castle in the Sky is one of my favourite fantasy ones and if you're more into the cyberpunk stuff, Ghost in the Shell is another nailed on classic.

I don't really manage to watch much episodic anime cartoons so I can't advise on that.

Which LotR animated film are you referring to here? The Ralph Bakshi, or the later (Rankin/Bass, wasn't it?) film? If the Bakshi, I'm not sure how much this would apply as anime, since quite a bit of this involved rotoscopy and animating over live action.... (Has some very nice moments, though, such as the crossing of the Ford of Bruinnen.)

HACK//SIGN or Dot Hack as also known.
Bubblegum Crisis.
Appleseed (film)

A few other good anime movies/serieses are Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Devil Man and Record of Lodoss War. If you like the LOTR Bakshai movie, also check out Fire & Ice as well as Wizards.

I have a cartoon problem. It is pretty bad when my 7 and 10 year old says "God mom, do we have to watch that cartoon AGAIN???" LOL.

Ghost in the Shell, Vampire Hunter D, Eureka 7--

Although, I would not recommend Vamp D for kids under 13....

Sailor Moon has always been one of my favorites.

Full Metal Alchemist.

I watch a LOT of cartoons. Also, if you have satellite you can score some good old school cartoons early in the morning on Boom in the US ---- Dungeons and Dragons, Conan, Johnny Quest--- excellent classics if you are just starting to get into cartoons.

Also, I don't know how old you are, but if you are over 13 (there goes the mommy in me again) you HAVE to watch Heavy Metal, Fire and Ice and

If you liked the LOTR cartoons, I would recommend:
you so have to see The Snow Queen PBS cartoon, you can rent that at most libraries, also, The Secret of Nhim, The ORIGINAL Robin Hood cartoon (you guys remember that -- 1980?) Flight of Dragons (1980 ?),

Actually, there are a lot of good classic cartoons you can rent at the library that are fantasy based. I think you can also rent the old school Ewok and Star Wars cartoons, which were, on occasion, better than the movie.

Perhaps you could try out the current Witchblade anime series, as well as a series called Hellsing

Nesacat · 18th July 2006, 09:00 AM

I'll second the movies by Hayao Miyazaki as well as Vampire Hunter D and Hellsing.

There's also the films from Studio Ghibli:
The Cat Returns
Kiki's Delivery Service
Only Yesterday
Porco Rosso
Tales from Earthsea
Whisper of the Heart

Tokyo Godfathers
Kaena
Metropolis

star.torturer · 18th July 2006, 11:49 AM

walace and gromit

Cobolt · 18th July 2006, 01:56 PM

Must add the wonderful, Final Fantasy. Spirit Within and the excellent Ghost in the Shell (both films, even though the 2nd was not as excitiong as the 1st).

Sprited Away is also worth checking out

Roheryn · 20th July 2006, 04:31 AM

FullMetal Alchemist, or Avatar: The Last Airbender

I'll second that! Anything by Miyazaki is exceptional; my favorites are My Friend Todoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Sprited Away. But keep in mind that these aren't science fiction adventures. If that's what you want you have to watch Akira and Ghost in the Shell (1 and 2).

Cobolt · 20th July 2006, 04:48 PM

another excellent one I have just watched is Appleseed, okay its not dubbed and you have to read the subtitles but this is an excellent movie.

Sky Blue will be my next purchase.
