Essential Anime: Difference between revisions
→Films by Release Date
Line 162:
* ''[[Project A-ko]]'' (1986): For many US fans, this silly schoolyard comedy cum Sci-fi parody was the first feature-length anime available, while in Japan its surrealist humor strongly influenced later films and series such as ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'' and ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]''. It directly inspired the 2003 American film ''[http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0275799/ Xtracurricular]''.
* ''Choujin Densetsu Urotsukidouji'' (English language title, ''[[Legend of the Overfiend]]'') (1987): For better or worse, this was the seminal (er, bad choice of words) work of the [[Hentai]] anime genre, and one of the earliest animated uses of Naughty Tentacles. It is one of the works most responsible for the [[All Anime Is Naughty Tentacles|rather shady reputation anime has had]].
* ''[[Akira]]'' (1988): Based on a much longer and even more complicated manga series, this was another of the first anime films to cross the Pacific to any appreciable audience. It shocked many US fans straight out of the [[Animation Age Ghetto]] with its gritty visuals and stark violence.
