Could somebody tell me some good anime movies. The quality of the animation is more important than the story line and it would pack some good action. Something inspirational you know. Thought you guys could help and i would be truly grateful you would help me :)

I just read Mahou Shoujo of the End yesterday. Still gives me the chills. It's a pretty nice ongoing horror manga with elements of Survival ala HotD at first but as the story moves on, it starts stepping into Madoka cosmic horror territory.

That was one of the more fucked up manga I read.

Dunno about inspirational but some of these might be up your ally:
Mononoke Hime (its pretty old, so the art might not be up to the standards you want)
Sword of the Stranger
Towa no Quon (although thats kinda a series)
Redline (while its not 'fighting action' its balls to the wall, over the top, but a little corny)
Ghost in the Shell (the first one is old but still looks great, but it got redone, so look for GITS 2.0)
Castle in the Sky (another oldy, but another must watch)
FF7: Advent Children Complete
The Garden of Sinners (also kind of a series, its also pretty damn dark, and is heavy on philosophical and thought provoking themes)
Afro Samurai
Little Witch Academia (this one is just short a sweet)

I'm not really a movie guy, and definitely not an action movie guy, but I hope there's something here that you haven't seen and will enjoy.

I doubt it, and if it does happen I don't think it'll happen for a while. I was under the impression that the season didn't really sell well in Japan, but it might happen if the western sales are high enough. They wrapped it up enough that there is closure if there isn't another season but also kept it open enough to continue the story, so I think the production staff are pretty keen to do another one, but I wouldn't hold your breath, it may take another two years.
Does anyone know if the source material after the Goddess arc is any good?

I can't, for the life of me, figure out what makes the tendril hair guy so important that he gets to live. He was the most worthless one in the series. It's like he is so unimportant that his death isn't even worth making an episode of, so he just gets to be super lucky and NOT die. He's a lot more lucky than the super high school level good luck. I would have been happier if the fucking LAPTOP made it.

I also really hated the ending, even though I think it was the only ending they could have gone with that would have made sense. If only they elaborated more on what was really happening outside or something...


yeah I just really want a sequel ;n;
