Westeners Guide to Anime

Akira

Lupid III – Castle of Cagliostro

Paranoia Agent

Hi guys
I few years back I was a media and digital animation student (i have to admit im not that great at it)
During that time tho, I was heavily influentced by anime and used to watch as many films as i could get my hands on
anyways I thought hard about em all and these ones came at the top.

Films I couldnt add to the list due to them not being in the Mubi database
*Blood the last vampire
*Black jack

also I havnt managed to watch macross plus or barefoot gen yet. so apolagies for that.

comment and let me know what you think :)

also personal note:
(If your watching akira and dont get it, feel free to hit me a message.
ive done a ton of research on it and read all the comics and I have to say
its hard to wrap your head around the film if your a westerner)

i wont tell you here as it spoils it for people who havnt seen it.

anyways enjoy my first list :)
