Last week we asked you what the best anime film of all time was, and the results were pretty interesting. It's not so much that the winners were unexpected per se, but the top 3 choices were more closely matched in votes than probably any other poll we've had previously. Hayao Miyazaki's
Princess Mononoke ended up on top with 21% of the votes, while another Miyazaki film,
Spirited Away, was #2 at just shy of 20%. (Clearly we're going to have to do a showdown between all of Miyazaki's films at some point in the future.)
Akira followed immediately after that, with
Ghost in the Shell and
Ninja Scroll rounding out the top 5. I was a bit surprised to see Rintaro's
Metropolis relegated to last place, but I suppose given the competition it's understandable. Do you concur with these results?
1. Princess Mononoke -- 21.4%
2. Spirited Away -- 19.9%
3. Akira -- 19.6%
4. Ghost in the Shell -- 9.2%
5. Ninja Scroll -- 8.9%
6. Grave of the Fireflies -- 7.7%
7. Cowboy Bebop: The Movie -- 5.2%
8. Perfect Blue -- 4.4%
9. Paprika -- 2.2%
10. Metropolis -- 1.5%
