I need advice on traditional modern animation! What are the best flicks that I am missing? ("Akira" and "Heavy Metal" are favs!)

Isn't Hayao Miyazaki still doing traditional animation? You know, the director of "Spirited Away," "Princess Mononoke," "Howl's Moving Castle," etc.

I LOVE all of those movies bro..."Spirited Away" is very, good.

However I am looking for more adult fare. I am NOT a japanamation freak (yet). I like Akira though, and am looking for something "similiar."

Try the following series of shows

1. Fullmetal alchemist
2. Last Exile
3. Ghost in the shell 2nd gig
4. Noein
5. Freedom - entire series is only available on blu-ray right now
6. tsubasa chronicles
7. deathnote
8. ruroni kenshin
9. outlaw star
10. spriggan
11. cowboy bebop

If you are a fan of akira you will definitely like freedom and spriggan since I believe they were both animated by the same artists or studios. Of course there are many more but these are just few of the most popular or most well known

I didn't think it was so hot either but some people think its a good flick along with Appleseed, which is the first movie.

I want to check out the Ghost in the Shell series as I hear those are good.

Oh I forgot one more you should definitely see since you mentioned that you like full-length anime movies. Check out The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. I decided to rent it one day from netflix due to good reviews. I didn't expect much from it though. After watching it I must say it was one of the best anime stories I've seen in awhile.
