But Anime movies have a tendency to suck. Ghost in the Shell, Blood: The Last Vampire, Armitage, they all suck. Even some of the productions of Studio Ghibli are sub par. Although, you do tend to get a few that are really good, like Akira, End of Evangelion (ok, technically not a movie, but still), Perfect Blue and Princess Mononoke, there is about 100 volumes of crap for every gem.

Stick to the series’, they tend to be far more reliable. And if you’re not willing to spend your entire life watching this crap, you’re not really an Anime fan are you….?
