Top 10 Best Studio Ghibli Movies


"This list countdowns the best movies by legendary Japanese animation
creators, Studio Ghibli. With Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata in it's
stable of directors, Ghibli has left an indelible mark on the world of
Anime and animated films as a whole, even garnering the praise Pixar CCO
John Lassiter and Walt Disney Pictures. Each Ghibli film is a gem in it's
own right. But, with Ghibli's 31'st anniversary now in the books, what
better time to reflect on the beautiful, haunting stories told to us by
Miyazaki and his team?

These are the Studio Ghibli masterpieces that touched us the most."

I really enjoyed The Animatrix.

Does Samurai Jack fall into this category?

One night last year, AS played an entire season and I liked it a lot! I was visiting family who had satellite so I don't watch AS very often.

I have not seen many anime movies outside of the Hentai realm.

Many thanks for those coming here, as we are huge fans of Japanese Anime and Manga

However, we're not experts on Japanese Anime and what is or isn't it,
so please bear with us



Re Samurai Jack, here is a post explaining whether it is or isnt anime

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/i...s%20is%20anime


and another post we're quoting on this - the comparison is perhaps a bit much

No, it was created by Americans for American audiences, influenced doesn't make something a part of the specific subsection of animation. To do a more extreme comparison it would be like saying Kill Bill is a Japanese film because there is a portion heavily inspired by samurai and Japanese settings.

And

thank you rbn for giving the link to Hentai here
