I can't remember who, but someone in this thread was constantly saying, "watch Berserk," well, I watched the movies. I really liked Egg of the King and The Battle for Doldrey. I'm really looking forward to the third movie.

That was me. Glad you enjoyed them, even though these new movies don't do the manga any sort of justice whatsoever. But I get it's three 1.5 hour movies based on 13 volumes of a manga. The old 24 episode series tells the Golden Age Arc just a bit better. If by the end of the third movie you feel you have to know more, I suggest you find some of the manga scans online and check it out. Well worth it.

Vampire Hunter D - Bloodlust

Ninja Scroll

I love Yoshiaki Kawajiri's animation. If you liked these two and the style, I recommend checking out Highlander: The Search for Vengeance. He directed and I'd venture to say it's better than any of the Highlander live action sequels.

If you ever watch any anime, the series Basilisk is based on the movie

I think it's actually the other way around. Basilisk is more directly based on a novel series that Ninja Scroll was an homage to.


Bumped because I wanted to see if anyone here uses a Roku and Unsupported Appstore to watch any anime and if they could give me recommendations for how to find them. Crunchyroll is pretty good, but there are harder to find stuff I'd like to watch.

ETA - I think I recommended Sword of the Stranger a couple pages back based on someone else's recommendation. I agree though I really enjoyed it.
