technically excellent anime?
Hey all! ^_^
I'm in charge of a project to make a short original anime movie, and I just wondered which animes you all think are technically excellent so I can have some good examples to look at. Please say which aspect you think are excellent: story, characters, art design, or animation.
I personally thought Berserk was very good, if excessively gory; Crest of the Stars was very solidly designed, if excessively childish; and Ai no Kusabi was beautiful, although I will never understand why many mangaka feel the need to have such tragic endings.
PS. I need a beta reader if anyone's willing to look at a yaoi script. ^_^
PPS if you happen to be an artist and interested in this project, which is called "Uke On Top", please see the yahoogroup Passionate Kiss.

I also agree with Ian on Metropolis and Ghibli films for stunning art.
At the same time, for series with excellent aret (keep in mind I haven't seen anything in 3 years so they may be 'old'):
-Cowboy Bebop
-Escaflowne
both are near OVA quality in animation and quality. This is RARE for a TV series since they receive less money (or rather have 26 episodes to use the same amount as 4 OVAs). I believe Escaflowne was the highest production value in a tv series until Bebop beat it (same studio I think). Again, I don't know about recent stuff, but these are the two that stand out in my mind since they are both beautiful.

I much agree.trythil wrote:Shamanic Princess definitely ranks high up there on the animation and design scales. It's too bad more people haven't seen it.
Also Macross Plus is another good example, if I remember right it has the record as the most expensive OVA made.
