| Expelled From Paradise was stunning in terms of the animation and graphics. The 3DCG was the best I've ever seen. Also, Gen Urobuchi + Rie Kugimiya :) |
 |
| A Letter to Momo is a stunning hand drawn (digitally painted) film. It features real lip-sync, which is very rare in anime. It's directed by master animator Hiroyuki Okiura who was a key animator on Ghost in the Shell, Akira, and other classic titles. He made his directorial debut with Jin-Rou, which also looks amazing. |
| I'm watching Redline right now. My jaw is on the floor... |
| Well shit. It's after midnight and after watching the Redline trailer I'm pumped! Who needs sleep, anyways? Considering how popular it is, I'm sure everyone here knows about Fate/ Stay Night UBW, but it's the best I can come up with so it'll have to do, haha. I don't really take art style into account when I rate a show unless it's atrocious, but I can't deny that I prefer kickass visuals if it they're not in lieu of the actual story. |
 |
| Oh snap, Redline looks badass. Everyone keeps giving F/SN UBW godly ratings, but I found Fate/Zero to be vastly overrated. I mean, it was good but not...worship worthy. Someone gave me flak because I gave it a 7 not a 10. lmao...like 7 is a bad score to begin with. *eyeroll* |
|
| Totally agree. I gave the first half of both shows a 6/10 (8/10 for 2nd half of Zero, though). Way too many unfinished fights, which was just irritating and unsatisfying. I find it odd how people seem to think 6's and 7's are bad scores. I enjoyed most of the anime that I gave a 5, so a 7 means I never even considered dropping it. |
|
| Overrated as it is, Fate/Zero looked amazing as well. F/SN UBW looks beautiful as well. Tempted to check it out even though I'll probably be disappointed. |
|
| I'd pick Adolescence of Utena, but I don't know many movies... My choices for TV anime would easily be Nagi no Asukara and Hanasaku Iroha though. |
 |
| In terms of movies: Garden of Words, 5 Centimeters Per Second, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Metropolis, Redline, Blue Exorcist: The Movie, the Kara no Kyoukai movies, When Marnie Was There, The Place Promised in Our Early Days... can we make a list for this? |

You make valid points. In retrospect, that movie was gratuitously dreary. It's too bad their animation talents weren't used on a better story. |
