Devil Hunter Yohko

This is the story about a 16 year old girl named Yohko Mano. She believes she's just a normal teenager... until she almost gets killed by a demon while in the public pool. From her grandmother, she finds out that she's destined to be the 108th generation of Devil Hunter. In the second video, she gets a sidekick, Azuza, Devil Hunter in Training. This series is aimed for a slightly older audience than some Sailor Moon fans might be. It conains some instances of nudity, especially during Yohko's transformation sequences. The first one is especially questionable, but the others are much more tuned down. It also contains realistic violence and instances of blood.

     

Akira

This movie is one of the "classics" in Anime. It's set in Neo-Tokyo, several years after a major disaster. The two more main characters in the movie are Kanada and Tetsuo. Both are members of a motorcycle gang, with Kanada as the leader and Tetsuo as, well, kind of something to be laughed at. After getting in an accident, Tetsuo is taken by the government and has some expirements done to him... with rather startling results. Again, this might not be too appropriate for some of the younger fans of Sailor Moon. It only has one instance of frontal nudity, and that lasts for about a second. Not much to get worried about. I've seen this movie almost ten times, and some parts of the plot I still don't fully understand. The plot is rather elaborate. There's actually a seperate video you can get that explains some of the more intricate details of the plot, if it still confuses you.

     

Project A-ko

Here's a fun one. Take Superman, Wonder Woman, have them marry, live in Japan, have a kid, and what do you get? A-ko, a girl who can't fly but is super strong and fast. Add her best friend in the world, C-ko (no relation). C-ko is "dumb blonde" personified: not very smart and can't cook. Finally, add B-ko, the arch-nemisis of A-ko. B-ko wants C-ko, A-ko wants C-ko, and C-ko wants, well, it's hard to tell. This series spans through four movies and one split-off: the VS wars. This is appropriate for most viewers of Sailor Moon. There are some instances of fontal nudity, but again, it's not much to worry about. However, there is one part in the third movie where there are some people in an adult theater watching a movie. The characters in that movie look suspiciously like Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter... you'd have to see it yourself!

     

Ghost in the Shell

This movie is set in the future. The main story behind this is a hacker, called the Puppet Master, is going around brainwashing people into doing what he wants them to. The main story revolves around Kusanagi, a woman who has been transplanted into a cyborg body. Again, this may not be too appropriate for younger viewers. There is several instances of frontal nudity. They may be cyborgs, but they look human. This movie would appeal to those with a more sci-fi or futuristic tastes.

     

Vampire Hunter D

Vampire Hunter D is produced by Streamline Pictures. The plot of the movie is about a woman named Dorris. She gets bitten right off at the beginning of the movie by a vampire, and marked as that vampire's bride-to-be. Obviously, she isn't too keen on the idea. She hires D, a wandering vampire hunter, to take care of her problem. This video isn't too appropirate for younger viewers, but I do reccomend it if you can find it. It's basically an anime horror movie.

     

Neon Genesis Evangelion

In the near future, huge, horrible monsters are attacking the earth called "Angels". These beasts can only be stopped by huge battle robots called Evangelions. The problem is that only children can pilot these devices. Four kids are selected by a standard called the "Marduke Report" to pilot these Evas, one of them being the creator's son, Shinji Ikari. If you think this is just another giant robot fighting series, it isn't. It's actually got a very in-depth plot. As Wizard Magazine put it, " Neon Genesis Evangelion combines high-tech combat, 'X-files'-like mysteries and a searing psychological realism in its characters, to make what is unquestionably the hardest hitting TV anime show of the 1990's." One cool feature of the series is once one question gets solved, two more rise up. Little things here and there are clues of the bigger story going on behind the scenes. Like, what exactly is this "Marduke Report" that is their standard, and what are the Evangelions? Again, I wouldn't reccomend it for some of the younger viewers, but it is really good. Like most Anime, it contains graphic violence and adult situations.
