A few days ago, I showed "Millennium Actress" to my mom and she was so impressed by it because all she thought anime was was the stuff my sister and I watched when we were little. No matter how many times I try to explain how there are vastly different anime/manga, I guess you truly just have to show it.
Watched Perfect Blue the other night. It's one of the only films I've seen where I wanted to re-watch it immediately after finishing it, there's so much re-watch value.
My top 5: 1. Tokyo Godfather2. Sakasama no Patema3. Ghost in the Shell4. Perfect Blue5. Millenium Actress R.I.P Satoshi Kon, the best anime director ever
💯% Agreed! You have same taste as mine, Undoubtedly Satoshi Kon is legend filmmaker in the world! 💖💖💖 And Tokyo Godfathers is also my favourite Satoshi Kon film!
Great list! I'm 40 so I've seen most of them already but psyched for the ones I haven't! My #1 is Ninja Scroll followed closely by both Vampire Hunter D movies
Akira is a purely VISUAL experience. You wouldn't understand shit the first time watching (unless you read the Manga) it because they throw so much plot at you at the last half of the movie.
@@ricemenarq6230 Ill have to disagree It's not just eye candy, it wasn't just an anime that served as a gateway to new Anime fans in the states, it was a Masterpiece.
@@asura8236 Agreed really artistic and fun to watch they did a great job world building, but plot is incredibly simple and the characters feel utterly predictable one is trying to save his friend the other is power hungry you have some love interests some purely bad guys a very simple formula
@Bobert Wiltshire UHHHHHHH bla bla bla people can't like what they like I agree akira is stunning but is subjective and people find artistic beauty in all art forms
Great video! For those of you who might want a break from the traditional 2D style, 2 movies with top-quality CGI are Appleseed Alpha and Captain Harlock: Space Pirate 😁
Some Anime films that I enjoy that follow the 2 stipulations you set out Bob that weren't mentioned in this video are: Your Name, Summer Wars, A Silent Voice, Patema Inverted, The Place Promised in Our Early Days, Journey to Agartha, A Letter to Momo, The Princess and the Pilot, Hal, Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light, Origin: Spirits of the Past and The Little Norse Prince.
Great video Bob! thank you for this list, I just added 9 of the movies you mentioned to my list, seems like there are a lot of good movies I haven't watched yet! Btw there are a few movies not mentioned in the video that I recommend (following your rules of course): -Barefoot Gen (a very disturbing classic movie about Hiroshima in WW2. -Kara no Kyoukai. -Final Fantasy VII Advent Children (I don't know if you have to play the game, but I didn't, and I still loved the movie). -Persona 3 (I'm a big fan of the game, but I recommend the movies even if you haven't played it). -Afro Samurai (it's an action packed samurai movie, similar to Samurai Champloo in a way).
+Diablo Mask thanks! Yea I've seen final fantasy and Afro samurai but iirc Afro was the conclusion to the story. Haven't seen the rest of these movies though
BobSamurai Anime Reviews Afro's second movie was disappointing, but the first movie had really good action. I highly recommend Barefoot Gen btw, it has very good animations for a movie from the 80s.
Great video! Still haven't seen like a half of these, but I'm gonna ad them to my list. Here's some of my favourite anime movies that weren't included: - Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Overture to a New War (a solid movie and a better introduction to the series than the first episodes) - Patlabor 2 (a 10/10 movie about imagined cold war in Japan, can't believe you didn't mention it, perfect for fans of stuff like Jin Roh for example) - Robot Carnival (a crazy artistic journey through different themes and styles, not much of a story in it but the animation and creativity makes up for it) - Belladonna of Sadness (a milestone in 70s anime, a melancholic, solemn but also very disturbing masterpiece) - Trigun: Badlands Rumble (for fans of western who haven't yet decided if they want to watch the 1998 Trigun series, fun action comedy that might encourage you to check out the much better original) edit: Just realised how old this video is. Gonna leave the comment still, it might help somebody discover great pieces of art.
Been a fan for a long time. Not a lot of top anime movie list out there.. only a couple and there always biased. Thanks Bob! Liked instantly, just because it's you and I trust your opinion.
thanks again Bob me old mukker for a great video. I bought both recline and ninja scroll on blu ray because of you in fact I think you got me into anime..just ordered storms gate blu ray can't wait to watch...merry Christmas Bob.
My top 15 in no particular order: Sword of the Stranger Akira Jin Roh Castle in the sky Ghost in the shell Ninja Scroll Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust Perfect Blue A silent voice Lupin the III Cagliostro Angels Egg Red line Cowboy Bebop Nausicaa Tokyo Godfathers
- The Night is Short, Walk On Girl - Miss Hokusai - Trava (Redline spin-off) - Summer Wars - Piano no mori - Brave Story - Interstella 5555 - Dead Leaves - Fuse: Memoirs of a Huntress - Night on the Galactic Railroad - A Wind Named Amnesia Short Collections: - Robot Carnival - Neo Tokyo - Twilight Q
Brilliant video Bob!! However I will only forgive you about leaving out Ghibli films if you promise to make a Top 20 Ghilbi films at some point in the future :) (JK this list is terrific)
I feel i will rewatch this video again with someone to find anime movies to watch together haha. Thanks for all your effort Bob, and thank you for not including studio ghilbi too :)
i disagree with a lot of this but that kinda makes it a good list. never would've thought you'd put Lupin that high. its also worth noting that roger ebert called that car chase one of the best in all cinema, not just anime.
I know that you will need to watch 1 (maybe 2) season(s) worth of content to understand. But Psycho Pass: The Movie deserves to be seen by EVERY anime fan!
Man that's a great list right there! Got to find some time to watch some of these movies. I've been trying to watch Jin Roh for a long time but never actually get to do it...
Your#2 pick is not a Anime that I have watched,but I have played the game. Your Lupin III: "The Castle of Cagliostro." Was a laser disk game in my hometown arcade back in the mid 80's. Same game play as Dirk the Daring. Ah-Ha! 😏But it was called "Cliffhanger!" Way shorter title huh? lol It had a silver ninja in the game,and from time to time he was the protagonist deuce ex machina with an awesome meme "Once again I slice a worthless object!",or maybe it was cut I forget,but it was items like freakin' Helicopters!" Man talk about trips down memory lane. Today your channel was my "Deuce Ex Machina!" I sub "Thank you!"
I'm looking for an anime film that's about war....almost like ww2 or very close and the animation is super incredible. I've tried looking online but nothing pops up. Any help would be appreciated.
BobSamurai Anime Reviews I enjoyed watching your videos i watched most of them last night trying to find good anime to watch there are alot of under rated not so popular animes i can list off that are perfect! ^_^
10. MHA Heroes Rising 9. Bleach Movie 4 8. Demon Slayer Mugen Train 7. Jujutsu Kaisen 0 6. Ghost in The Shell (95) 5. Gurren Lagann The Movie: The Lights in the Sky Are Stars 4. Your Name 3. Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Rebellion 2. The Disappearance Of Haruhi Suzumiya 1. Silent Voice
Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek is pretty good, I liked it, and even though it requires previous watching of the series, The Disappearance Of Haruhi Suzumiya is just awesome,
A few days ago, I showed "Millennium Actress" to my mom and she was so impressed by it because all she thought anime was was the stuff my sister and I watched when we were little.

Wicked City was always one of my favorites.
Joseph Benz Wow.
Joseph Benz that opening scene bro. I didn't eat vag for about a year.
Russell Lol!!!! Too Funny!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
You absolutely played it right with Redline at #4.
It's like something out of a daft punk music video. Absolutely love the art style.
My top 5:
1. Tokyo Godfather2. Sakasama no Patema3. Ghost in the Shell4. Perfect Blue5. Millenium Actress
R.I.P Satoshi Kon, the best anime director ever
#goodtastes i havent seen patema yet though
💯% Agreed!
You have same taste as mine,
Undoubtedly Satoshi Kon is legend filmmaker in the world! 💖💖💖
And Tokyo Godfathers is also my favourite Satoshi Kon film!
I love Time of Eve more Patema though
Great list! I'm 40 so I've seen most of them already but psyched for the ones I haven't! My #1 is Ninja Scroll followed closely by both Vampire Hunter D movies
Glad to see Perfect Blue is on this list. I watched that for the first time with a couple of friends and we were all blown away.
Hell yeah Transformers 1986.
"Gra weep na na weep niniban" lol
ninja scroll my all time fav
the dub was great too
Mr Tobi1018 man, Jubei is my fucking dude.
Jubai chan the ninja girl
I was surprised how low Akira was on this list.
Akira is a purely VISUAL experience. You wouldn't understand shit the first time watching (unless you read the Manga) it because they throw so much plot at you at the last half of the movie.
@@ricemenarq6230 Ill have to disagree It's not just eye candy, it wasn't just an anime that served as a gateway to new Anime fans in the states, it was a Masterpiece.
Akira is really over rated
@@asura8236 Agreed really artistic and fun to watch they did a great job world building, but plot is incredibly simple and the characters feel utterly predictable one is trying to save his friend the other is power hungry you have some love interests some purely bad guys a very simple formula
@Bobert Wiltshire UHHHHHHH bla bla bla people can't like what they like I agree akira is stunning but is subjective and people find artistic beauty in all art forms
Awesome list, Bob-Sama. I'll be coming back to this one frequently. :)
GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES.
Its technically Ghibli though
Trigun is also a movie Worth watching even if you haven't watched the series.
Great video! For those of you who might want a break from the traditional 2D style, 2 movies with top-quality CGI are Appleseed Alpha and Captain Harlock: Space Pirate 😁

you should also check out The Dog of Flanders
My dear crazy scientist:o
eclipsesonic I haven't watched the place promised in our early days is it good?
Aye steins gate
Kimi no nawa is awful
Another great video, added a bunch of movies t0 my plan to watch list. Although Sword of the Samurai should have been placed higher ;)
+Nicolas Duford thanks!

Dead leaves would be on my list and I feel like it never gets mentioned. It's such an insane ride that it blew me away! It deserves more love.
YOOOOO! Bobsamurai still going strong after all these years, I remember when you had long hair dude :D
I'm sure Ramayana will be in your top 50 in the near future !!😊
Been a fan for a long time. Not a lot of top anime movie list out there.. only a couple and there always biased. Thanks Bob! Liked instantly, just because it's you and I trust your opinion.

Lol. studio ghibli is on the lists
i disagree with a lot of this but that kinda makes it a good list. never would've thought you'd put Lupin that high. its also worth noting that roger ebert called that car chase one of the best in all cinema, not just anime.
I know that you will need to watch 1 (maybe 2) season(s) worth of content to understand. But Psycho Pass: The Movie deserves to be seen by EVERY anime fan!
Very useful vid. Thanks! I feel in the mood for something colorful so I'll give Paprika a shot.

GOOD LIST!
Have you seen any of the Lupin movies from Koike?
I've only seen castle of cagliostro and the lupin conan crossovers so far
I've seen 15/50 thanks for the list, finding worthwhile anime movies that dont require watching a full series is hard, especially 50.
+Fummy hope you find some you enjoy!
Good list, Bob. Few movies, whom I didn't seen, grab my attention, so thanks. :) By the way, have you seen Flanders no inu, if no - watch it. :)

Sees *PERFECT BLUE* good man!
I wouldn't put it that high though but that is one of my favorite anime movies.
Thanks for all the movies to watch. Hope you do more like this.
Watched the whole thing. Great work !
Dude, that Star Platinum shirt is bad ass.
Finaly someone who shows some love for Redline ❤
Bob, how can you do a list of 50 movies without including Neo Tokyo? It's along the lines of Memories but simply better in all departments.
+Yoyohanna haven't seen it, it's actually on my thumb drive right now lol
Yes!! Finally someone who dosent sleep on perfect blue!! It’s so underrated
Thanks! Really needed some movie recommendations besides Satoshi Kon and Ghibli! :D
