Matt rounds up the best Japanese anime has to offer for this crash course on the genre…
There are some people who simply just dont get Japanese Anime.
A fairly ordinary story given a fresh twist and an injection of the paranormal.
Favourite bit: The girl with the moving snake tattoos generally steals every scene shes in.
Blood: The Last VampireSo very short (only around 50 minutes!
), but oh so sweet.

Favourite bit: Kudos goes to the way the whole thing looks.
The seamless blending of 3D with traditional animation is a visual joy.
It feels like stepping into some sort of neon-soaked, oversexed putrid nightmare, in the best possible way.
Howls Moving CastleAnime doesnt always have to be brutal and crazy to be enjoyable.
Perfect BlueThis remains an anime film very close to my heart.
As chillingly haunting as it is clever, it never fails to both entertain and disturb.
