There is a level of austerity associated with anime films that separate them from the series. There is a much smaller group of voices that are turning off anime feature films, but it has led to some amazing authors emerging from the process. There is only a fraction of the anime movies that come out each year compared to the number of series that are released, which also makes each anime movie a much more event.
It is easy for high expectations about certain anime movies and many times these projects go ahead and are satisfying, but there are also times when these cinematic endeavors pale in comparison to what the fandom was looking for.
10 Blood: the last vampire does not draw fresh blood from its premise
There are a lot of themes that are exaggerated in anime and vampires are definitely very hackneyed territory right now. There is not much new to say on the subject of hybrid vampire hunters and often what makes a project stand out is the level of precision that is applied to the action sequences and the violence.
Blood: The Last Vampire It is produced by Production IG, which normally does a heavy job, but this effort falls short. Animation and action are mediocre and Blood: The Last Vampire it becomes a forgettable vampire feature.
9 Gintama: The movie squanders a great opportunity
Gintama is a rare exception for an anime series that somehow remains consistent and even improves over the course of its 350+ installments. There are three Gintama anime movies, the latter of which acts as the series’ high resolution.
The first effort Gintama: the movie, it’s just a retelling of the Benizakura arc from the anime, and apart from a cute intro and conclusion, it’s recycled content. Gintama: The Movie It works as a great entry tool for someone who has never seen the series, but dedicated fans who anticipated this cinematic endeavor were a bit disappointed in the repurposed footage.
8 The Cat Returns defies expectations set in Whisper Of The Heart
The Cat Returns is a surprisingly deep story about independence and freedom, courtesy of Studio Ghibli. The film breaks down a fable-like narrative in which a girl named Haru rescues a cat from being killed on the road, only to find that he’s a mystical cat prince who is now engaged to be married in the Cat Kingdom.
The cat returns it’s a good movie, but it also works as a Ghibli spin-off Whisper of the heart, leading to unreasonable expectations. The cat returns it’s a very different kind of story, but it’s still a satisfying evolution of Whisper of the heart world.
7 Ponyo does not reach what the public expected from Miyazaki
Ponyo It’s a brilliant film that by any metric should be considered a success, but the difficulty is that Hayao Miyazaki’s work is so innovative and consistent that unrealistic expectations are set for his upcoming projects. Ponyo it’s a moving story about Ponyo, a goldfish princess who yearns to live on the surface instead of the sea, with dramatic repercussions accompanying this decision.
Ponyo It’s a delight, but it’s reminiscent of Miyazaki’s past works and it’s generic in the way that fairy tales are. It is a nuanced work that the public did not expect at the time.
6 Dragon Ball Super: Broly is a superficial swan song
the Dragon Ball The series has an interesting reputation with its cinematic content, which was long considered non-canon bonus material. Dragon Ball Super: Broly marks a change of pace and is specifically designed to bring Broly, a former movie exclusive character, to From Dragon Ball Super continuity.
In this way, Dragon Ball Super: Broly satisfies, but still very by numbers Dragon Ball feature that works fine at the moment, but is relatively empty in hindsight. The film also loses some impact from the previous one God’s battle Y Resurrection ‘F’ they have already thrilled the audience.
5 Trigun: Badlands Rumble wastes the return of a legendary character
Trigun is an excellent anime series from the 90s that effectively balances action with moving melodrama through a excellent lead, Vash the Stampede. 12 years after the anime’s conclusion, a follow-up movie was announced, Trigun: Badlands Rumble.
After a decade without Trigun content, there was a lot of anticipation about this movie. Badlands Rumble is set before the end of the Trigun anime, forcing the story to be essentially filler. Vash and company embark on a reckless search for a dangerous bounty hunter. It’s fun to get the gang back together, but it’s a largely forgettable comeback for Trigun.
4 Children chasing lost voices recycle Makoto Shinkai’s greatest hits
Makoto Shinkai is an absolute master of storytelling. Children chasing lost voices in that sense it is far from being a bad movie, but it is the continuation of Shinkai 5 centimeters per second, which was so acclaimed that it inevitably caused public disappointment.
Children chasing lost voices lwatch a girl who is transported to a mystical world courtesy of a crystal radio. It seems incredible, but the the story feels derived from Shinkai’s past works and the characters are relatively superficial, even if that’s the intention. It is a film that becomes flawed in the larger context of Shinkai’s filmography.
3 Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna ruins their reunion
the Digimon The franchise has existed in many different versions, but the greatest amount of affection is reserved for the characters and story of the original. first two Digimon Adventure Serie. Digimon Adventure: Ultimate Kizuna Evolution adds to the reunion / sequel trend and uses the title’s anniversary to deliver one last adventure with the original characters.
Last Kizuna feels bloated and uneventful, but at least it’s better than Digimon Adventure tri., which apparently does the exact same thing. There’s nostalgia to cherish, but for a second attempt at this story, it still falls short.
two Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence offers a superficial story for a great sequel
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence came out in 2004, almost a decade after the original film and expectations were high for The cyberpunk sequel to Mamoru Oshii. The original feature film is a masterpiece and the sequel looks beautiful and elicits some fascinating ideas, but it’s a pretty shallow story compared to its predecessor.
The narrative about sex robots rebelling against their masters isn’t all that original either. As a small consolation, there are still Ghost in the shell projects that continue to happen like series and movies and that is why the universe is alive, well, and continues to take risks.
1 Evangelion: 3.0 can (not) be remade, it throws the script and it breaks
Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most challenging anime series of all time and Hideaki Anno’s quartet of Rebuild somehow, movies have become an even bigger topic of discussion. These films were designed to retell the events of the series in four condensed features, but the stories began to deviate widely from the original material.
The third installment, You can’t redo it is the most egregious offender here and although his decisions may receive justification in the very early Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0, most fans were disappointed by his bold and confusing new direction.
