Animation Revelation Forum

Just because I can't get enough of these threads.

At any rate, I was going to do the greatest video game music ever, but I felt more compelled to do this thread since we just did a video game thread. If someone else wants to do a thread of that nature, though, then be my guest.

At any rate, this is self-explanatory as usual. Any feature-length animated films count. I'll let you guys define what counts as feature length, but for me it has to be at least an hour long so as not to count as a short film. With that said, I'm not putting any restriction on the amount of films you can nominate. Everyone just nominate whatever movies you want and we'll move forward from there.

Here are my nominations:

Summer Wars
The Lion King
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Wolf Children: Ame & Yumi
Redline
Toy Story 3
The Aventures of Tintin
Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal
Felidae
Up
Monsters Inc.
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro
Ninja Scroll
South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut
Futurama: Bender's Big Score

Shouldn't we retire MOTP since it won the last thread, though?

I was wondering when this one would show up.

Yellow Submarine
Pinocchio
Treasure Planet
American Pop
Coraline
Paranorman
The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Good point. I just removed it as a nomination.

Vampire Hunter D
Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust

If I may make a suggestion, E-K, maybe we can have each match last a week, a la the Greatest Manga Competition, because that should give enough time for people to check out the movies they haven't seen. I think that would work really well for this competition, because movies, unlike tv shows or comics, take a relatively short amount of time to finish, and most of the movies that will be nominated should be able to be found online or at a local library.

Sure, I'm busy on weekdays, anyway, so that works better for me.

That said I have to assume that each person has watched a fair amount of these movies in the first place to show interest in participating, and one match a week is a bit too slow-paced for me, so I may just end up posting two matches at a time, in that case, just like how I did in the first round for the Greatest Video Game Ever thread. That seems pretty reasonable, to me.

Sounds good to me.  :)

Anyway, since I love so many animated movies, and since there are no limits, I will nominate the following animated films:

Urusei Yatsura: Only You

Quote from: Pharass on November 03, 2013, 09:57:37 AMBatman: Mask of The Phantasm

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), as Avaitor pointed out, since MotP won the last animated film tournament we had a few years ago, I have decided to exclude it from this competition, just like how Ninja Gaiden Black was excluded from the greatest video game thread and how Yu Yu Hakusho was excluded from the greatest anime thread.

I feel that it keeps the competition more interesting, that way. ;)

Six more:

Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade
Perfect Blue
Tokyo Godfathers
Akira
Millennium Actress
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (I legitimately think this movie is amazing, fuck you :P)

Oh good, Akira was remembered. Can't believe I forgot to nominate it, Iron Giant, and The Secret of NIMH before.  :P

Here's some more random movies just 'cause:

Paprika
Rango
The Simpsons Movie
Tenchi Muyo In Love
Maison Ikkoku: Final Chapter

I never heard of the Lupin movies First Contact of Plot Of The Fuma Clan.

Cowboy Bebop The Movie. It's better than the show
DBZ Fusion Reborn
DBZ Super Saiyan Broly

Sorry, E-K. Avaitor already nominated it.  :sweat:

4 more for an even 200:

The Tigger Movie
Robin Hood
The Little Mermaid
The Three Callaberos

Justice League Crisis On Two Earths
Wonder Woman
DBZ Cooler's Revenge

Oh great GSF, you went and made it an uneven number again (and 200 was such a good one!)

Fine, let's add Dragonball: The Path to Power to even it out.

Alright. The nomination thread is officially locked. I'll start the poling either late tonight or tomorrow.

Also, I'm not counting the last 4 entries. Sorry, but 200 is more than enough. and we have plenty of DCAU and DBZ representatives as it is. I had said in advance that the poling would close on Friday, anyways, so it's fair game.

Wait, never mind. It turns out that Cartoon X actually can't count for shit. We only had 195 entries. Counting the last 4, that makes 199. So, I'll just nominate one more movie and we'll be on our way, and just for the sake of filler, I'll nominate Digimon Adventure: Our War Game! (even if it isn't feature-length).
