Pokemon 4ever

Also called ‘Celebi: The Voice of the Forest’, the fourth Pokemon film in the franchise carries a deep environmental message including the option to live in tree-houses and consider time travel as the ultimate power.

Pokemon 3 the Movie

This is my favorite Pokemon movie and most fans would agree with me that it is the best among the original series. A better storyline, beautiful animation, ‘dreamlike’ soundtrack and interesting characters that deliver emotion and intrigue.

Pokemon the Movie 2000

Also called ‘Pocket Monsters the Movie: Revelation Lugia’ and ‘Pokemon: The Power of One” is the second Pokemon feature-length film released in Japan 1999. It complements the Orange Islands Saga (Season 2) of the series and features new Pokemon, including Slowking and the legendary Lugia.

Pokemon the First Movie

I remember seeing this in the cinemas for the first time and this became a part of my childhood. During the 90s, Pokemon was slowly “evolving” into a cultural phenomenon. As a fan of the classic anime series, I was super excited to see this on the big screen and boy, wasn’t such a good film. Seeing it once for the action and seeing it a second time, there is a deep, underlying message about violence and love that is often overlooked.

Paprika

In the near future, a revolutionary new psychotherapy treatment called PT has been invented. Through a device called the “DC Mini” it is able to act as a “dream detective” to enter into people’s dreams and explore their unconscious thoughts. Before the government can pass a bill authorizing the use of such advanced psychiatric technology, one of the prototypes is stolen, sending the research facility into an uproar. In the wrong hands, the potential misuse of the device could be devastating, allowing the user to completely annihilate a dreamer’s personality while they are asleep. Renowned scientist, Dr. Atsuko Chiba, enters the dream world under her exotic alter-ego, code name “PAPRIKA,” in an attempt to discover who is behind the plot to undermine the new invention.

Evangelion 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone

Being a fan of the original Evangelion series, I was really excited to hear that it is about to be remade to reach out to new fans. This film does not fail to disappoint even the truest of fans. In fact, it is a great way to be familiar with the series with fresh eyes. More importantly, it analyzes the series from a different perspective. By that there is new animation, better storytelling, great understanding of themes and more importantly, a new direction for the series.

Perfect Blue

This was the classic anime movie that inspired Black Swan, and for many good, legitmate reasons. Perfect Blue is one of those films that will keep you on the edge of your seat for its deception and wonderful execution between reality and fantasy. It is a psychological thriller which will make you wonder whether the decisions you make now may come back and haunt you later in the future.

Saki

Saki not Sake

Miyanaga Saki is a high school freshman who doesn’t like mahjong. Ever since she  was a child, she would lose her New Year’s gift money during her family mahjong  game. If she won, her parents would be upset, and if she lost, well, she lost.  As a result, she’s learned to play in such a way that her score always remains  plus/minus zero: not good enough to win, but not bad enough to lose. When we  meet her, she’s being dragged to her school’s mahjong club by an old friend. How  will a girl who hates mahjong, yet has become adept at the game as a result of  her upbringing, survive in this environment?

Fushigi Yugi

I would most definitely recommend watching this in the original Japanese dub because the performances in the English dub are just plain terrible, however considering this came out in the early mid 90s, there are some exceptions. It is without a doubt one of the most popular series in Japan let alone one of the most famous manga stories every adapted.
