I'm not sure what it did, but it made a huge impression on me when I first watched it. Joe Sargent: yes, I'm serious. The best Ghibli-movies (Kiki's delivery-service, Porco Rosso, Spirited Away) probably make it somewhere in my top-20. I agree that they make good movies, but in my eyes they're not the best.

Just a classic story and if you aren't touched by the story, you'd have no human heart beating in you. And I got teary eyed so many times and yet it was so fulfilling to see the purity in Nello and Petrasche. I have to agree with Dog of Flanders.

I really haven't seen that many OVAs so I will definitely be watching some of these in the future. By the way, have you seen Tokyo Marble Chocolate? It's a two part OVA about a couple's first Christmas together told from both of their perspectives (the girl's in one OVA and the boy's in the other). I thought it was really charming with just the right mix of zany humor, romance and a dash of drama. The art also has a sort of washed out watercolor look that I really liked and there's some beautiful scenes of a snowy Tokyo. Interesting list.

It's probably somewhere in my top-20. Ganv: ILA has a version in their IRC-channel. It's dubbed, though. Phoenix: Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo indeed was good, but not good enough to beat the ten I listed.

Jin-Roh's ending was just incredibly tragic and depressing and Kenshin had great action but also showed a nice romance and Dog of Flanders, well you saw it, it's a beautiful movie. As for the Utena movie, I enjoyed it but I watched it before I saw the entire series, plus I was little and everything went over my head (I'm surprised I watched all these anime as a kid haha) Try out the next Rurouni Kenshin OAV, the 1st episode recaps all the events of the series so it isn't like too much info is needed on the characters, if any at all, and it is also a very heartbreaking story and is more of a character study and it ties well with the 1st OAV in terms of what Kenshin is doing in the new one. Please do check out the other Nippon movies, especially Marco (I know I've said that over and over but I loved it) I’m glad to see Ruruouni Kenshin, Dog of Flanders, and Jin-Roh on the list.

Jin Roh isn't a Mamoru Oshii. He did the script for it, but the directing is from an entirely different person. http://sky.crawlers.jp/index.html

Also, as I haven't seen it in your list, but think it would easily fit in there, give Imagawa's 7-part OAV Giant Robo a try. It's a wonderful rolercoaster of action, pathos, memorable characters with fluid and dynamic animation and topped with one of the best soundtracks I've had the pleasure to hear in anime.

I just didn't like what I saw, and I found it mostly boring. Issa-san: okay, point taken. Also with the action-scenes, I meant especially the car-racing bits, but the swordfights weren't bad either. ;) Venneh: Unfortunately, I have watched it, about three years, but I think I watched it at the wrong time.

And when you recommend the creative action in it, do you mean the swordfights, or the 'car-racing' bit in the end? :P Twiliht Q was... interesting, though admittedly I prefer my mysteries solved in the end than given the twilight zone treatment Wasn’t the Utena movie quite DIFFERENT from the series?

Because if you haven't, I think you owe it to yourself to go find it. It's an excellent Ghibli film by Isao Takahata, but you might want to remove anything you can hurt yoruself with from the room when you're watching it, as it's a bit depressing. 's still good, though. Question — have you been able to find Grave of the Fireflies yet? Because if you haven’t, I think you owe it to yourself to go find it.
