...what anime movie do you think would be best suitable for the big BIG screen? Not to say "this one, cause it's my fav anime movie!" but that would actual suit the giant screen with the sound and every amplified 100x!

Here's my short list:

A Girl in Gaea/Escaflowne the Movie (great soundtrack, flight scenes, and soundeffects etc. I think that one would do really well!)

Castle in the Sky (great soundtrack and well, it would really amplify the size and greatness of the monsterous Laputa)

A Inuyasha movie (not to get specific with which one, but with epix... well, everythign maximized thing it would make one heck of an imax movie!)

EDIT: my bad >_< meant "IF" in the title :/ ...I really wish we had the option of changing titles sometimes :/

Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal. (Sliced together as one movie instead of 4 individual episodes of course.) It would be fantastic on the big screen.

Hmm isn't that what the director's cut is? Fusing them together to make a movie pretty much?

Spirited Away, Memories, and Metropolis would rule Imax style. Just imagine how cool the Metropolis ending would be for Imax.

Yeah, I never got the Director's Cut though. I already own the individual Trust and Betrayal DVD's so it's not worth it. I think it would be the perfect movie to air on the big screen. It's definately on par with a Kurosawa movie.

I would second any Ghibli film (most likely Spritied Away) to be formatted in large format. Though it would also be fun to see anime like Metropolis to be in the IMAX '3-D' format.

Yeah, the Bebop movie would look good on imax.

There are a number of grand vistas in Voices from a Distant Star ... I think that would look quite nice.

Actually I wouldn't see Trust and Betrayal (Samurai X) on an Imax screen because it's violent enough on a small screen.

What would be great is Wolf's Rain on the big screen. *swoons*
Heart of Sword's Rhapsody

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

Are you saying movie or series? I think that Last Exile would be pretty darn insane on Imax.

Princess Mononoke would be the best one, probably...

On another not, I would love to see Secret of NIMH on IMAX, but that won't likely happen... I've never seen a normal movie in IMAX... Only Everest (the educational one, where several people on the crew died to make it...)

Cowboy Bebop: The Movie or Metropolis, either one makes my mouth water at the very thought

I agree! It would look awesome on IMAX, even if it's not a movie.

If Inuyasha: Love that Transcends Time was on IMAX, I would probably run out of the theatre in tears :sweat:. I nearly cried when I saw it on T.V...

That movie is so emotional :waah!: :lol:.

Grave of The Fireflies. Saddest movie I've ever seen. The plot is deep and meaningful. The animation is beautiful and unique, and the characters' personalities were realistic and multidimensional. You really forget it's a cartoon, so I don't think it would have a problem being accepted on the big screen.

I think that if they showed it (GotF) on the IMAX half of the people who saw would be too depressed to do anything for about a week.

I don't remember crying watching it but I was really sad afterwords. Anyway the new version of Appleseed would be quite neato IMAXED...So would GITS Innocence.
