Along with Takahata he is,no one else comes close(except for maybe satoshi kon R.I.P),both of them are one of the very few directors that know how to make original movies imo, that I can stomach and not only that really enjoy.
But that's just me am not fan of anime movies in general and I learned the hard way that it's not safe experiment with dangerous stuff like that, Studio Ghibli is reliably studio.
Top 10 highest grossing anime films according to wiki
Top 19 also in the link
One piece Film Z has also entered the top 10 it should surpass Akira soon or later but it's really doesn't compare to the might of Hayao Miyazaki.

That's pretty short. Azusa from K-ON! is taller than that.
by 2 cm...
Yeah, I went a little overboard. I could almost make a passable gif with some of the shots I took.
Yeah, it kinda does...
So I guess it really is down hill from here...
Kind of crazy that last year had 3 of the top 20 grossing anime films of all time.
Is it really, though? Last year had 4 of the top 20 grossing films of all time.
It seems that more and more people are going to the movies.
Nah it's all in dollars it's more to do with the rising yen(at the time) and maybe higher ticket prices imo.
Edit: oh my bad I thought your link was on anime
, i still stand on inflation just not to the degree with yen.Yeah, I guess inflation does have a big effect.

The show no one is watching!
Jokes!
Visual gags!
It's weird that they are doing character development as well, but it seems like they pretty much end the franchise with this season, so I suppose they're trying to actually wrap things up with some of the light drama that happened way back when.
duckroll or someone will have to explain this strange model of ONA releases though. Ebiten, Upotte, and now Seitokai no Ichizon all are 10 episodes and all were released online first. Is that just a coincidence or is this a new trend for the super niche properties that don't rate for 3am releases nowadays?

Well, theres a certain elf girl who does magic.
Something goes really wrong and she gets turned into an animal and to turn back she has to collect all the spell fragments that attached themselves to elf girls.
How? By joining up with a group of crazies and a sentient tank and stripping all the elf girls of course!

Eh but that's a Rtisuko episode baby! It's all about her, really. There's also some significant world building going because it teaches us that
Gendo will go to any length to crush a rival in the field of defence, which really helps to flesh out the world.
Nah, current console

Eh, not seeing it to be honest. Gonna have to rewatch it after I calm down.
It's not just inflation. It's a semi-inaccurate list because Boxofficemojo lists everything in US dollars, which they convert from Japanese Yen based on the exchange rate at the time of release. The Yen has been climbing agsinst the USD for years, so some of those numbers aren't really supposed to be that high.
Here's one example of how the exchange rate totally misrepresents the rankings:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/歴代映画興行成績
Howl's Moving Castle (2004) made 19.6 billion yen, Princess Mononoke (1997) made 19.3 billion yen, and Ponyo (2008) made 15.5 billion yen. Yet, because of the changing exchange rate, Box Office Mojo lists:
Howl's Moving Castle -$190,000,000 (2005)
Ponyo - $164,565,997 (2009)
Princess Mononoke - $157,000,000 (1997)
This is for the Japan only gross. As you can see, from 1997 to 2009, the Yen has gone from worth-less-than-USD to worth-more-than-Obamapaper. Lol.

Oh god the memories, this was one of the first anime I bought on vhs. Try the english dub, the show's silliness fits perfectly with the over the top voice acting. Plus they cursed a lot which was awesome to my junior high mind.Yup.
Hey I just thought of a show newcomers should watch.
Those who hunt Elves.
Fuckin amazing.
example
i don't even
I miss that show, now I feel old.
This show continue in manga or something? because you know how it ends...

dat eternal grudge against animegaf. the funniest part was realizing she still read the thread because she responded in another thread to something Mumei said in here
Wow. I guess lists like these are close to being worthless, then. It's impossible to judge those numbers correctly when the exchange rate fluctuates that much.

bad gameplay lol

Mamoru Oshii had a Nico talk titled Mamoru Oshii Pisses Off Half The World (no seriously that's the title) and he was asked, yet again, his thoughts on Hayao Miyazaki.
The following is a rough translation of the transcription of his talk. Oshii talks really weird and since this is an unedited transcript, there are alot of non sequiturs and jumping around. I'm using the yaraon summary of the talk versus the actual transcript because this one makes more sense and is on topic.
Oshii, once again, telling it like it is! I mean, he's probably talking a bit of rubbish as well and it's not exactly good conduct to openly critique another director but still I enjoy reading his thoughts.
You could look at the actual yen numbers. That could work.
The Japanese also report number of people who watched in addition to raw money numbers.
His being super close to Miyazaki and his stature as a famous director is probably why they let him run his mouth off like this. But in the end, as he says, no one ever picks up on his criticism of Miyazaki no matter how many times he says it. No one who matters cares.
Futari wa Pretty Cure might be the only installment in the franchise to ever actively acknowledge just how annoying mascots are. Nagisa finally cracks in a scene with some humorous faces capturing her escalating disgust as the mascots incessantly shout their verbal tics at each other:
Oh, did I mention that the episode immediately turns around and reveals that
? The complete lack of expectations for what the franchise was supposed to be in this first installment really produces some unique stuff sometimes.
Oh, did I mention that the episode immediately turns around and reveals that
one of the mascots belonged to Honoka's grandmother in her youth and supplied her with courage to continue living after her town was firebombed into ashes during WWII in an incredibly :firehawk backstory scene
Be sure to enable mature content on the main site. Some shows don't appear in the satellite apps if you don't.

It's not worthless if we're talking about comparing worldwide figures in terms of earnings with other movies around the world. Using the USD as the main currency does give a good picture of how valuable an industry is at a given time.
However if we're solely talking about how popular a movie is in Japan alone, in an isolated sense, then yes, looking at lists in USD is worthless.
I just noticed that yesterday.
Also is the quality for android stuck at 480p?
There are so many series I'm surprised aren't on the site though like Chuunibyou.

Not sure about the video quality. Some stuff like Chuuni gets licensed by other sites whether it be Funimation or Anime Network.

Sooo, anime gaf, know of any good manga apps for ze Android?
But doesn't Funimation do more Dub stuff with their streaming?
Any good recommendations for what is on the site?
So far the only thing I have discovered and liked is The Pet Girl of Sakurasou.
.I've only used android but I love my Xoom. I think the Nexus 10.1 should be awesome for reading manga online. There are a few great apps on android. I keep a few handy. I love the aspect ratio for reading.
I use MangaWatcher alot.
There is also the Viz Manga app
and this is one of the only other stores for manga I've seen on android. I keep it installed to check to see if they add any stuff I might like to purchase but they seem to be targeting DTL more than me.
I'm hoping that more stores more more digital comic stores add more stuff too like comixology.
There are plenty of manga apps on the android market and plenty of comic reading apps.
They'll simulcast stuff like CR does with subs and whatnot. As to what's good, that'll depend on your tastes.
Space Brothers and Fate/Zero are good places to start. Gintama is funny but long. Seirei no Moribito is spoken rather highly of too.
