KharBevNor:
Asuka's last stand (which, admittedly is 100% unadulterated bad-ass) lasts almost exactly ten minutes.
How long is Evangelion as a whole?
To be fair, Evangelion is intended to be sort of a deconstruction of the cliches of the giant robots genre, but it doesn't exactly make for a particularly fun viewing experience. If you want that kind of stuff, I'd go for Hideaki Anno's directorial debut, Gunbuster. The heroine admittedly goes into a Shinji-like break-down, but then she pulls herself together and starts killing space monsters
MILLIONS of space monsters. With J-Pop and fanservice and massive fleets of battlecruisers and lasers and atom bombs flying fucking everywhere.
I rather like Gunbuster.
KickThatBathProf:
On the opposite spectrum of things...
If you want to subject yourself to a ton of pain, watch A Little Snow Fairy Sugar
StarmanJr:

okay, so it is frustrating to the max, and is a bitch at drawing out action and such, but the brazen rush it delivers in some of the episodes makes it golden in my opinion. like ichi the killer, some things need to be seen at least once for shock value. yeah, they can put that shit on tv. heavily edited, but you get the point.

Or you can go for his hilarious, yet ridiculously and overwhelmingly perverted, anime Ebichu the Housekeeping Hamster (Oruchuban Ebichu).
It's surprising how constant sexual innuendos and explicit violence done right can make for lots of laughs.
I forgot about how I came across it and I remember being somewhat disappointed in myself for watching it
as some parts are downright gross.
But the hilarity. It is redeeming I guess.
And so is Ebichuman (muh avatar).

--- Quote from: pilsner on 08 Mar 2008, 07:50 ----- Hotaru no haka (Grave of the Fireflies) directed by Isao Takahata is one of my favorite movies full stop, and is included by many Western critics in their "best ever" lists. If you haven't seen it, it's probably going to make you cry. It's about a brother and sister trying to survive the aftermath of the Allied bombing of Japan at the end of WWII.

I think the most apt description I've heard is that "[Grave of the Fireflies] makes you want to crawl into a hole and not come back out." Oddly enough it didn't make me cry, but I saw it when I was already kind of dead inside.
But yeah. Basically a ridiculously good movie.
