Top 5 Anime Based Movies

To be fair I will only fill this list with one movie of each series and only movies I have seen so if your favorite anime movie is in here and it was amazing then I must have not seen it. Oh and I try not to give away the plot of these movies just in case the reader hasn't seen them yet.

5. Blood the Last Vampire
I liked both the recent live action movie (yes I went to go see it and it was much better than I thought it would be) and the original animated one. Both of them are movies that just expect you to know what's going on, well for some reason I felt like I knew more in the live action version but still, the anime that came AFTER is really good back story, no seriously, it is, and it's great. Well basically the movie is about Saya... who kills these things called... uhhh... darn I have no idea how to spell it... well here goes, Kyroptorins? Oh well, anyway she has to kill these things because they are basically demons and so she has to set everything right I guess. I don't want to give away too much so just watch the original anime one and then the live action one when it comes out on DVD, I don't think you will be disapointed.

4. Bleach Movie 1
Well it recently aired on Adult Swim and I am sure you self proclamed "true" Bleach fans have seen the fansub version a million times and have yet to buy it on dvd. But either way most Bleach fans have seen it and if you haven't, then please do because it is great! This is one of those movies that's not just "since it was a movie they will never mention it... what you think I need a reason for that? Fine it's filler... there are you happy?" It actually has a reason for the characters not mentioning the events of the movie which was both sad and brilliant. One strange thing about the movie is that Chad, Orihime, and Uryu don't even appear until like halfway through the movie, and they are just there... which was strange because if I remember correctly the other characters just act like they were there the whole time, which was very strange.

3. Naruto Movie 1
Ok yes I watched the fansub version when it was kinda new in Japan... I think I don't remember, but to make up for watching it illigally I bought the dvd, saw it in theatres, and watched it on CartoonNetwork like twice, and to be honast, it's still just as awesome as it was before, no wait seeing it in theatres was even more awesome. Why you ask? Because of the giant theatre jam packed with Naruto fans, some of which had to sit on the floor because of all of the seats taken, which wasn't a bad thing, it was a good thing, with the whole theatre laughing at whatever was funny and everyone crying at the sad parts it made the experience so much better than just watching the dvd at home. Well anyway about the actual movie, it feels less like a filler and more like an actual arc of Naruto, which is pretty damn good, and to note the second movie is good too, but I would stay away from the first shippuden movie if you can.

2. Death Note Trilogy
Well these are Live Action and even dubbed, yes Live Action Dubbed, don't worry that's not as bad as it sounds. These movies sum up pretty much half of the Death Note series in two movies, what is the third movie you ask? It's kind of like a... hmm like an L spin-off, and trust me even though it seems a little fillery it is actually really good. These movies have a great cast and they all play their parts so well, especially the actors for L and Light. Oh and did I mention the AMAZING CG used to make the Shinigami? Well it just looks awesome in the movies and just makes you feel like that is what Ryuk and Rem might have actually looked like in real life. Oh and in the English dub version they... well they make Ryuk say a few words you really can't say on TV and that really surprised the audience and made them burst out into laughter when I went to go see the first movie in theatres.

1. Afro Samurai Ressurection
Well after much thinking and constantly putting Death Note in first then this in second and then doing the opposite over and over again I decided that I liked Ressurection more. No offence Death Note movies, but Ressurection was just that good. Well to start of, this movie was a sequal to the anime series Afro Samurai... oh you people probably know that already, let me get down to the basics... The main character named Afro must collect a special headband to challenge a new villain who claims she can revive Afro's dead father and forse him to fight his own son. Afro steps up to the challenge and faces old enemies along the way, like his rival Kuma who for the most part of this movie is practiacly a mindless zombie. To add to the greatness the cast of the movie is great with Samuel L. Jackson playing Afro and his friend Ninja-Ninja and Lucy Liu playing the new villain, Sio. Overall this movie is amazing and I could not recomend this movie and the anime series that goes before it enough.
