Doc Ezra's Anime Warnings:
Rating: 18+ Only. My Advice: Buy the non-Director's Cut, avoid the child porn and rape fantasies.  Sawa is your average, every-day cute college co-ed. Complete with stereotypical school uniform, pigtails, and a lunchbox that holds tasty treats plus a pistol that fires high-caliber explosive rounds and some tiddlywink-sized grenades. Normal, right? Well, for Sawa, who is a highly-trained assassin in the vein of La Femme Nikita (the movie version, not the goofy TV show) or Leon of The Professional fame, it's just life. Orphaned when her parents were murdered, she is trained and directed by a sleazy cop that has grown tired of people slipping through the system's cracks only to do more bad. Categorized as: Anime

Released by: Fox My Advice: Own it (updated: newer version available, read on) Satsuki and Mei (voiced in the English version by Michaelson and Chase) have just moved into a new house along with their father (Snegoff). Their mother (Kenworthy) is in a nearby hospital and although the prognosis is good, there's always some nervousness involved with a loved one who's ill--especially from the perspective of the two daughters. Their new house has things to keep them busy, though: not only does it have an infestation of benign soot sprites, but Mei stumbles upon a forest spirit who lives in the vicinity of the giant camphor tree nearby.

Released by: Miramax My Advice: Own it. When a demon invades his village and sets in motion events that are certain to eventually claim his life, Ashitaka (voiced by Crudup), must accept his destiny and go forth to find the origins of the demon and end the evil. On his journey he meets the beautiful yet savage San (voiced by Danes), who, with her family of wolves, is at war with the Lady Eboshi (voiced by Driver). Eboshi wants all the wilderness destroyed so she can mine for iron ore, whereas San is the forest's protector. They want to kill each other. Out of all of this conflict, Ashitaka must somehow find a way to bring all the sides in this war to peace--lest no one survive. Categorized as: Anime and Reviews
