Chris over at dreamlogic.net has a great article called Anime Foundationals – 13 Anime Films that are actually cool to watch.
But, believe it or not, there are anime films you can watch without risking a permanent labeling as an Otaku goon, an overgrown child, or a tentacle loving pervert. Some of them are even downright awesome.
It’s a great article – I think I’ve seen every one except for Goldenboy and Blade of Kamui. How many of the anime movies/ovas listed in the article have you seen?
I haven’t seen any of those.
Dave and Joel actually have reviewed a few of those shows as some of the worst anime they’ve ever seen….so I take this list with a grain of salt, at best.
For trying to make a non-stigmatizing “can watch” list, he left out Miyazaki entirely. Instead, he should have labeled it a “for guys 16+” which he later says in the comments.
Yea, most of those titles are cult 80s and 90s crap that got to US shores and watching those will get you labeled the worse kind of anime follower, IMO.
