Hello. I am looking for similar anime, ie. of the wide-eyed variety. I would especially like to see some feature film titles, but t.v. series also acceptable if they are really good. Sci/adventure/thrillers preferable. (And I already know all about Ghibli)
shareIt's probably been said a few too many times, but Ghost in the Shell is a great movie. I'd be surprised if you hadn't heard of it by now, though. I think it's been referred to on every anime page I've seen.
CAN'T STOP HERE! THIS IS BAT COUNTRY! - Raoul Duke
One might be ...i think what its called is Battle Angel Alite..I think Im not quiet sure...but it deals with robots
sharedoesn't have big eyes and all but try Jin-Roh. Millennium Actress is also good. not scifi or anything but it shifts between fantasy and reality seemlessly making it quite compelling.
Perfect Blue is also a good one if you like thrillers.
Did you ever notice that people who believe in creationism look realy un-evolved? - Bill Hicks
I'm suprised no one said "Akira" or "Vampire Hunter D", while a bit on the violent side both are good.

Actually I was watching Metropolis just then and it indeed reminded me of Akira.
The whole movie is like a blend of Akira meets Metropolis(Fritz Lang's movie)
Vampire Hunter D is good yes. (the original. I thought Bloodlust was a bit of a dissapointment. Eyecandy but lack of substance.)

Space operation Cobra is a fairly good sci/fi film with a decent sound track by "Yellow", or you could try 3x3 Eyes for a more supernatural feel. Also, Fist of the North Star is worth seeing (not the live action version though, that is bobbins!)
shareCan't find "Space Operation Cobra" in the database here. I did find a bunch of differen things with "Operation Cobra" in the title, but none of them seem to match the subject matter suggested here...

Is it known by a different title, perhaps?
Whoops! Sorry for the duplicate post here... it seemed to be taking an unusually LONG time for the post to show up, so I thought it had fallen into a bit bucket...

Battle Angel Alita is similar. More gritty and violent, and much better though.

It's an audiovisual mindbomb. :-)
