Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Unrated

Not a movie but a series. Actually, it is one of the best anime series ever produced. But it is mainly aimed for an adult audience. So you kiddies may not appreciate this piece of art. The story is very solid and very complex. In the animation department, GITS : S.A.C. has some of the best animation for a TV series. Very smooth, the mix of 2D/3D is well done. The music department is worth a mention. The series features some of the best anime soundtracks I've ever heard (next to "Bubblegum Crisis 2040").

Akira R

A classic in the realm of Japanese animation. It is very well animated and while the anime is made in the late 80s it actually matches modern standards of animation! Yet I have to deduct half a point for some lacking parts in the story department. But you can't just compress 14 volumes of the original manga into one single movie, right?
