Cowboy Bebop Remix
Cowboy bounty hunter Spike Spiegel and ex-cop Jet Black patrol the galaxies for dangerous criminals in this futuristic anime. Spike and Jet resort to dangerous tactics to bring in the universe's most wanted, and trouble's never far behind. Joining the pair aboard the spaceship Bebop are femme fatale Faye Valentine, computer hacker Ed and smart doggie Ein. Completely remastered and remixed, this version features newly animated scenes.
Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal, Director's Cut
Immensely popular in Japan, Samurai X (aka Rurouni Kenshin) is an addictive anime series about the intrepid journeys of a masterless roving samurai named Himura Kenshin. This director's cut combines the first two episodes of the series. After his family is slaughtered by bandits, 8-year-old Kenshin is "adopted" by a master who sees something in the young boy and decides to teach him the Mitsurugi sword technique.
FLCL
A rock 'n' roll psychedelic romp often compared to Yellow Submarine, Fooly Cooly (or FLCL) is a mind-bending visual rocket ride using anime aliens as allegory for teen angst. The protagonist, 12-year-old Naota, has his life changed forever when he's run over by a guitar-wielding woman on a Vespa. The woman, Haruko, causes a horn to grow from Naota's forehead, but that's just the beginning of adventures for this slightly cynical, lovesick hero.
Ghost in the Shell
In 2029, a hacker known as the Puppet Master is taking over the minds of computer-enhanced humans. Government agent cyborg Motoko Kusanagi is charged with apprehending the villain, unaware that the fiend is searching for her as well -- with plans to carry out a diabolical mission. With fantastic visuals enhancing the complex story line, this cyberpunk classic set the standard for future anime features.
Spirited Away
Adapted from the Japanese original, director Hayao Miyazaki's adventure tale won the Best Animated Feature Oscar for its story of 10-year-old Chihiro. During her family's move to the suburbs, Chihiro wanders into a magical world where a witch rules -- and those who disobey her are turned into animals. When her parents are turned into pigs, Chihiro must find a way to help them return to their human form.
Millennium Actress
Japan's great film studio is shutting down after a 70-year run, and a documentary filmmaker is commissioned to make a film about it. He selects the career of one of its biggest stars, Chiyoko Fujiwara, as his central subject. In this anime homage, the filmmaker follows Ms. Fujiwara, who has been living a Garbo-esque life of seclusion for the past 30 years, as she takes the audience through the history of her career and life.
Ninja Scroll
When a monster made of rock attacks a band of ninjas, a masterless ninja named Jubei heroically saves the life of the beautiful female warrior Kagero. But Jubei succumbs to an elderly ninja's treachery and finds himself facing certain death -- unless he agrees to join the quest for vengeance. Bloody, violent and full of imagination, Ninja Scroll is anime at its best.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Inspired by author Yasutaka Tsutsui's novel, this anime follows the adventures of Makoto Konno, a seemingly ordinary high school student who makes a startling revelation when she learns that she's been endowed with the ability to travel back in time. Following a series of frivolous "time leaps," Makoto learns that her powers have a negative impact on the people around her and sets out to correct the effects of her actions.
Mushi-Shi
An award-winning anime series, Mushi-Shi brings the viewer into a dreamlike world where ghostly organisms called Mushi hover on the borders of perception. Neither plants nor animals, Mushi are primal life forms that can be seen only by some humans -- including Mushi master Ginko. He roams the earth in an effort to learn more about these strange beings, along the way helping people who've experienced the Mushi's supernatural effects.
Grave of the Fireflies
Orphans Seita (voiced by Tsutomu Tatsumi) and Setsuko (Ayano Shiraishi) fight for survival in post-World War II Japan. But society is harsh, and they come to the somber conclusion that they can neither escape the hardships of war nor find enough food to survive. Named the Best Animated Feature at the 1994 Chicago International Children's Film Festival, this film proves that not all anime tales are pixie-dust fantasies or brutal sci-fi standoffs.
Gurren Lagann: Vol. 1
Living in a future where human beings dwell in underground villages, orphans Kamina and Simon dream of visiting the world on the surface of the planet. As luck would have it, Simon discovers a giant robot that allows them to fulfill that wish. But when they reach the surface, they soon find themselves engaged in an ongoing battle with other robots that terrorize the people living above ground.
Howl's Moving Castle
In this engaging anime based on a children's fantasy novel, 18-year-old Sophie works in her late father's hat shop in a humdrum town. But things get interesting when she's transformed into an elderly woman by the evil Witch of the Waste (voiced by Lauren Bacall). Determined to reverse the spell, Sophie seeks the help of the wizard Howl, who has an amazing moving castle that's fueled by a fire demon named Calcifer. Hayao Miyazaki directs.
Eureka Seven
This futuristic anime series follows 14-year-old Renton, who leads a boring life till a mecha -- piloted by a lass named Eureka -- smashes into his house. After Renton helps her get up and running again, he inexplicably finds himself stalked by the military. When the enigmatic Eureka takes him to meet an airship commander who fronts an underground anti-government movement, Renton is soon drawn into a web of intrigue.
5 Centimeters Per Second
In this three-part anime feature, inseparable fourth-graders Takaki Tonoo and Akari Shinohara -- bonded by a love of books -- begin to slowly drift apart when their families relocate. Though the pair continues to communicate through letters, time and distance take their toll, and the two friends eventually lose contact. Will a chance encounter at a railroad crossing bring Takaki and Akari back together?
Voices of a Distant Star
This beautiful anime short was created entirely by one person, Makoto Shinkai, on his home computer. It tells the story of young Mikako, who joins the resistance to fend off an alien race's attack on humans. Sent to the far reaches of space, Mikako can only communicate to his love, Noboru, by cell-phone text messages -- and as time goes on, the messages take longer to travel. Can their love survive the passage of time and the brutal war?
The Place Promised in Our Early Days
In this animated film, Japan is under two regimes after the country's loss in World War II. Hokkaido remains under Japanese rule while America holds the rest, a bitter division that's wrenched the nation and left its citizens confused. Curious, Sayuri and her pals decide to build a vessel that would help them investigate a looming tower in Hokkaido, a plan they abandon when Sayuri falls ill. Is there a connection between her coma and the tower?
Castle in the Sky
In this children's anime adventure, young miner Pazu and mysterious girl Sheeta (who wears a magic pendant around her neck) team up to find the long-lost island of Laputa, which is rumored to have great riches and gems. Accompanied by a band of bumbling air pirates led by the quick-tempered Ma Dola, Paza and Sheeta are pursued by government agents who want the riches of Laputa for themselves. Includes some special features.
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Faced with almost certain destruction of her planet's natural resources, warrior princess Nausicaa rallies her people against an evil queen's rampaging army in an effort to give her homeland a new lease on its future. Hayao Miyazaki directs this environmentally conscious anime that transports viewers to a magical place -- the Valley of the Wind -- where the ultimate showdown between good and evil will play out.
Serial Experiments Lain
There is the world around us, a world of people, tactile sensation and culture. There is the wired world inside the computer, of images, experiences and a culture all of its own. After a classmate commits suicide, thirteen-year-old Lain discovers how closely the two worlds are linked when she receives an email from the dead girl: 'I just abandoned my body. I still live here...' Has the line between the real world and the wired world blurred?
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Female cyborg Maj. Motoko Kusanagi and her team of Japanese police, Section 9, must decipher the secret behind a spate of android suicides, stop a far-reaching hacker conspiracy, solve a hostage/extorsion situation and more. Based on the popular manga, this anime series explores a futuristic society where technology and cyber espionage reign supreme, along with new types of crime. Kenji Kamiyama directs.

I have heard that there are some downgrades on the newest PS3, but I don't think it had anything to do with the hardware. Basically the software "lacks backward support for PS2 games". For more here are the specs on the PS3 Slim 120GB.
Ok so now the movie part is kinda throwing me off. I just went through your list and believe that the character design is closest to Ranma 1/2. There are three movies from what I can see and considering I haven't even seen any of Ranma yet, I'm at...
This review just brought me one step closer to buying a gaming console this black Friday. Ahhh! So if I were to buy one, which one should I buy, PS3 or 360? I'm leaning towards the PS3 just because of the Blu-ray and it's Netflix connectivity now.
I still have some pics from the original Magna Carta. The girls were hot as hell but unfortunately I never played it. What I do know is that it is a South Korean made video game. I not sure about part two but I'm guessing it's the same. Now Final ...
Ok so now this list does contain everything I own other than the wish list, which is a wish list.
Ok so the animation style does remind of of Miyazaki. I'm gonna make my guess Castle in the Sky?
Looks really good. I'm gonna need to check it out. I've been epically lagging on GE999. It seems other stuff just keeps getting in the way. I really wish I could just buy it....

Purchasing Anime & Cardcaptor Sakura
Recently a question was posed to me about purchasing anime and Cardcaptor Sakura. I've discussed this subject quite extensively on NTZ but have never actually recorded all the information and put it in one place, so I decided to blog it baby. When it comes to purchasing Anime. In my experience it is best not to buy Anime right when it comes out, but a couple months after when more sellers get their hands on the titles. This forces competition and the prices usually co… Continue
