For those of you familiar with Chambara (samurai) movies, Sword of the
Stranger, is the anime equivalent. Story line is typical Samurai
storyline, wandering samurai helps out a kid and gets caught up in a
plot by foreigners and "bad" samurai. without giving the plot line away
I will say that if you are familiar with chambara movies and enjoy the
stories/genre you will...

I had never seen the Bleach series before, but I kept hearing great
things about it. I got the opportunity to see this movie and was
completely blown away. I was a little confused on some elements of the
story, but they were easily cleared up by watching the first episode of
the series.The voice acting is incredible here, as is the animation. Everything
about the movie is reall...

Amazing visuals. Crazy story. Daring plot. Great music. Paprika is
unique!The Good The movie reminds me of Miyazaki magic worlds and stories, and
of his precious 2-D animation.The recreation of the world of dreams is really amazing, so
realistically oniric in narrative and visuals. I especially liked the
repeating scene of the cop in the corridor, which is true onirism
brought ...

I think this is possibly Miyazaki's most intriguing movie. All of his
other films are very linear and even though their highly varied worlds
may be visually stunning and highly creative, I feel the dreamy world
of Howls Moving Castle is by far the most captivating, bizarre, and
imaginative of all the worlds Miyazaki has ever envisioned.What I love about this movie is that it's high...

After being quite satisfied with the original 'Ghost in the Shell' I
have (unsurprisingly) decided to watch its sequel of interesting name
'Innocence'. Coming an astounding 9 years after the first one, I was
sure to expect a different graphic approach in style and in the end
visual quality of this movie. And that aspect truly was better, more
colorful and ve...

-THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SPOILERS REGARDING FILM PLOT/CHARACTERS. YOU

folks, from all the Inuyasha films, this film is the best of all the

Director Satoshi Kon took his inspiration, and part of his title, from
Jon Ford's western 3 Godfathers (1948), in which three rough and ready
outlaws find themselves caring for a baby. At heart it's a Christmas
card to Tokyo, and expression of good will and a reminder to spread a
little kindness in a world that is increasingly cold and intolerant.
The film mixes comed...

The idea of the Matrix is so full of potential and could be taken in so
many, many directions. The movies decided to go in the direction of
pretension but the Animatrix goes EVERYWHERE the movies don't. It is so
far
superior and well worth the time. It's a shame that most audiences don't
consider Anime or any form of animation to be 'real' or something that
they
should ...

Ghost in the Shell is a visually stunning animated masterpiece.
Japanese animation has always been in a class of its own, so I won't
even attempt to describe the incredible attention to detail and
beautiful imagery in this movie. In this case the animation is merely
icing for what is one of the most important works of science fiction in
recent years.Every generation has had boo...

Porco Rosso is not just one of those movies that you watch and give
back to Netflix. It is one of those movies that genuinely makes you
hate your life, but in a good way. Watching a movie like Porco Rosso
makes you wish that you lived in their world, and that you could fly
your own plane between the Adriatic Islands and your own private
hideaway. It is the kind of film that tak...
