open request for suggestions

kodalaiOur college anime club is trying to figure out what to show for opening night next semester. It must be a movie or an OAV, to fit in a few hours. Must be good enough to convince an auditorium full of new students to remain in the club.Must not be incredibly depressing, too blatantly pornish, too overly gory, or, alas, too blatantly yaoi. The Utena movie, Spirited Away, Castle of Cagliostro, Laputa, Ghost in the Shell and Hoshi no Koe have all been shown recently, and Grave of the Fireflies, Angel Sanctuary, and Ninja Scroll have all been vetoed as violating the above criteria.
Any suggestions?

Date: 2004-07-19 10:13 pm (UTC)I saw Vampire Hunter D once, and I thought it was really terrible. -_-; Bloodlust might not be too bad, except that it has no Japanese soundtrack, and Animotion is the biggest bunch of rabid sub snobs you ever saw.

Date: 2004-07-19 10:27 pm (UTC)um... the other one that was released in english theatres... Princess Mononoke?
Kiki's Delivery Service is cute, but not sure if it will convince a lot of people to stay in your club...
but man~ y'all have shown a lot of stuff recently!
no subject
Date: 2004-07-19 10:37 pm (UTC)Right now, Mononoke is our fallback plan.
no subject
Date: 2004-07-20 02:39 am (UTC)Mononoke will keep people in the club?
well, okay, I'll admit it has some... er... something
ah, hell, now I have to suggest something too, eh? Hm...
um...
Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal? Hakkenden? *cough*
er...
*slinks away stealthily*

Date: 2004-07-20 10:11 am (UTC)um... if you don't have them/haven't seen them/won't watch them in the club...
want me to send them to you? ^_^
subbed, even! XD (at least I think so - I'd have to check to make 100% sure -_-; lousy memory)

Date: 2004-07-20 10:52 am (UTC)I could burn them tomorrow
while I'm studyin-after I've studied for my midterm ^_^ah, and... have you shown Blood: The Last Vampire yet? *fangirl*
no subject
Date: 2004-07-20 06:21 pm (UTC)But... for an opener? It would make a better Halloween showing to omou.
no subject
Date: 2004-07-19 11:26 pm (UTC)not 'too blatantly pornish'; that makes it kinna hard, ne?
there's.. catnapped, or maybe studio ghibli's the cat returns if you're able to show something subtitled? i'm supposing x is overly gory..

Date: 2004-07-20 10:03 am (UTC)And we opened with Neko no Onegaishi last year. -_-;

Date: 2004-07-20 10:04 am (UTC)Or is CotS an OAV? In which case, it's under consideration.
no subject
Date: 2004-07-20 10:49 am (UTC)DC suggested that maybe you could also show some AMVs, if you're able to display downloaded stuff. She also suggests something called Roujin Z (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/630506251X/qid=1090345660/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/103-1894502-4229453?v=glance&s=dvd).
You could always scare everyone away with FCLC. ^_^

Date: 2004-07-20 10:28 am (UTC)Right now the number one candidate according to me is the Kenshin OAVs... but it's good to have options. B'sides, we need to have a showing for every Friday... @_@

Date: 2004-07-19 11:53 pm (UTC)i can't sing the praises of millenium actress enough. it's glorious, so beautiful, and there's nothing about the story that needs to be anime, which only showcases the beauty of the style.
same director, you also have perfect blue, which is veryvery psychological, and tokyo godfathers, which i watched tonight but did no absorb.
...i know there's something else i should be thinking of. the *coughs*real*coughs* vampire princess miyu is only 4 eps long, but it really needs to be watched subbed...
*stops bother the nice strangers*
no subject
Date: 2004-07-20 05:17 am (UTC)Perfect Blue's kinda gory. Not for some people, I know, but it was borderline for me, and I warned my odler sister she probably didn;t want to see it at all.

Date: 2004-07-20 10:29 am (UTC)VPM is also on the list, but not, we think, as an opening.
Subbed is not only not a problem, it's a requirement! See above comments about my club and sub snobs.

Date: 2004-07-20 05:27 am (UTC)>< I can't think of anything else. I suppose thirteen episodes is still too long for opening night.

Date: 2004-07-20 10:32 am (UTC)Actually, come to think of it, we already showed at least one of the Patlabors.

Date: 2004-07-20 10:35 am (UTC)Right now I think we're looking at Mononoke-hime or more likely Kenshin if I can swing it. I remember my sempai who was club president last year mentioned that they'd shown the Kenshin OAVs within the past few years, but it wasn't either of the years while I was there. And I simply don't think that there's enough good, movie-length/OAV anime out there that we can show one every Friday evening for four years and never repeat ourselves...
