"Anime/Manga"

Having recently viewed 'Akira', 'Blood: The Last Vampire' and 'Spirited Away' I'm keen to explore the genre further, but some of the titles on offer seem a little (how should I put this?) 'not my cuppa tea' (e.g. too damn crazy).

If there are any fans here of similar films to those I already listed then I'd appreciate some recommendations that aren't too insane. I don't want anything that's just an excuse for random animated soft porn either.

Cheers, people.

You should definatly check out more of Studio Ghibli's films (people who made Spirited Away). I have nine of their films on DVD, and they are some of the best animations I've ever seen. I bought mine here: [URL]http://www8.cd-wow.com/searchresults.php?PHPSESSID=e30946736b1b28d45a4b2798a1ea777a&searchfield=Ghibli[/URL] You need a multi region DVD player though. Out of that list Mononoke, Nausicaa and Castle in the Sky are essentials. More info on the films can be found [URL]http://www.nausicaa.net[/URL] I also recommend Tokyo Godfathers.
