These manga's have aspired to critically acclaimed greatness and if you're a big Anime fan and you haven't watched any of these, you better slap your self! No, I mean figuratively slap your self. The videos below will give you a glimpse of the manga animes (save you from reading my summary of them), in alphabetical order 1st up is,
Afro Samurai
He could kick Blade's ass with a finger, you need to also watch "Afro Samurai Resurrection" the sequel to this fantastic Anime.
Akira
Regarded has one of the best film animes of all time.
Fist of the North star
It also has a live action movie, this is the trailer for the revamped version you can also watch the old version online.
Karas:The Prophecy
In terms of the cinematography of animation this is up there with the likes of "Ghost in Shell" the graphics are amazing. It also has a sequel "Karas:The revelation".
My Neighbour Totoro
I watched this has a kid, the film won the Animage Anime Grand Prix prize and the Mainichi Film Award for Best Film in 1988, like I said critically acclaimed stuff.
Ninja Scroll
This is where my love affair for Samurai genres stemmed, it won the Citizen's Award at the 1993 Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival.
Paprika
This is some out of this world animation I think the makers must have smoked a lot weed before making this because the ideas they came up with was just mind-blowing you need to see it to know what I mean.
Perfect Blue
Another classic anime that pays homage to the 90's, great plot, matter of fact great everything, I think it should be made into a real life movie.
Princess Mononoke
If you enjoyed star wars and star trek, you'll love this, just pure excellence.
Spirited Away
Can you believe this was made in conjunction with Disney, if you like fantasy and magic you'll love this, its brilliant. I regard it has the "wizard of Oz" of anime manga.
Sword of the stranger
Another great testament to Samurai genre anime's in fact one of the best.
Vampire Hunter D
This is one of the darkest, most accurate and action packed Vampire anime ever made.
Others worth mentioning (Grave of the fireflies, Howl's moving Castle, Strait Jacket, The Girl Who Lept Through Time, Castle in the sky etc) they didn't make the list because I haven't watched them yet, so what do you guys think I know am forgetting one (chuckles)
