Vampire Hunter D

$41.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this is a classic, in the sense that it is one of the animes that started it all.
from www.amazon.com
vampire hunter d is definatley not mediocre anime, but it can't compare to other anime movies such as ninja scroll, akira, ghost in the shell, etc.
from www.amazon.com
luckily it is "standard" for anime dvd's to have both dubs and subs.unless you are a collector of vh-d stuff there isn't really any good reason to buy this.
from www.amazon.com
this is a great anime but i warn you, you have to see some fairly violent and wierd anime before you see this or youll hate it.
from www.amazon.com
however, seasonned anime fans may find it a bit dry as it doesn't have the deapth of so many films in it's genre.

Mega Man X4

$19.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it has sweet anime cut scenes which tells a story in better detail than the other x series.
from www.amazon.com
the game also has several anime cutscenes, which all flow smoothly.
from www.amazon.com
and in this game(and unfortunately, only this game, unless you look outside of the x series and count mm8), you can see the plot come to life in awesome anime cutscenes!
from www.amazon.com
there are a few really cool movie clips between the different phases of the game and they're very well done, both artistically and in staying in line with the anime genre.
from www.amazon.com
with x4 they had complete cartoon anime scenes with full dialogue and how awesome was that?

its a hard plot to figure out and there are surprises every where the characters are quite blocky and instead of cinimatics its got anime so it was a deffinate change from what im used to all in

Final Fantasy Chronicles

$16.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the reason for this is b/c akira toriyama did the art work for it and has now done the anime cut scenes that have been put into the game which is something that i look foward to seeing.
from www.amazon.com
the story is as absorbing as ever, and the addition of the extras mode - with added anime fmvs to link the game to chrono cross - makes it even better.the only real problem with chrono trigger is the
from www.amazon.com
as i put in the game, i watched through the new anime-esque entrance, and i must say it was incredible.
from www.amazon.com
they are in the anime style by the guy who did dragonball z, are spliced into the game at the appropriate parts, and are really very good.
from www.amazon.com
they dont ruin the game one bit, the show you a re-created anime cut scene, followed by the original cut scene the snes cart offered.

Final Fantasy VIII

$32.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i was really excited when i picked this game up at a local anime/video game retailer.
from www.amazon.com
i don't know about you, but i hate anime, whenever i see the cover of a game with a cartoon looking character i cringe.
from www.amazon.com
although they still have some unrealistic features, i liked the anime kind of style that they had for the characters in ff7.
from www.amazon.com
i saw the opening seen and knew right then, that the "mature anime" of the characters were amazing.
from www.amazon.com
if you like realistically drawn characters rather than anime-type characters you will like this game's graphics.

the gameplay is horribly dated, but hey this game deserves to be made into a cg-film or a wicked anime movie/mini-series at least.

Final Fantasy IX

$20.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
while ff8 was like playing characters in a well done anime movie, ff ix has you controlling rounded, playful looking characters that give the game more kid-appeal.the graphics in general are stellar.
from www.amazon.com
the graphics are astonishing...it's like you're watching a japanese anime.
from www.amazon.com
so don't expect the 2-d anime artwork of ffs 1 through 6.
from www.amazon.com
the story's pretty straightforward, the graphics are great, and there's no weird anime stuff like in 7 and 8.
from www.amazon.com
i am at least glad to see the anime-esque style of animation returning from ffvii and also glad to see the plot line return that was sorely missed from the very dissapoining ffviii.
