But then you will watch anime movies that stand alone as probably the most creative and captivating animated films anywhere on the planet. Some of these are inspired by anime series, but others tell their own important stories.
Some anime movies are disappointing because they play upon fan devotion to the original series. The final episode of the popular Fullmetal Alchemist anime left many things hanging. It was clear that the creators simply expected fans to fork over money for the anime DVD of Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conquerer of Shamballa, for the resolution of these issues.
Most fans did so, but there was a lot of grumbling. On the other hand, movies like the ones based on the Naruto anime, while not spectacular, have been enjoyed because they feel more "honest," fitting in well with the ongoing series itself.
When you first think about it, the idea of anime movies doesn't automatically connect in the mind with events like the Cannes Film Festival or the Academy Awards.
But with Miyazaki's Academy Award win, and the applause other films have won at some of the major film festivals, there clearly is a quality and depth to these films that many other animated movies don't have.
Anime characters in the best series have long been recognized as multi-faceted characters, and anime plots can be both comic and tragic. These movies can stand at the top of the field with the best films.
