T.H.E.M. Animé Café Awards
1998 Edition
Honourable Mentions:
Several titles didn't make the list for various reasons -- most commonly because one of our two sites didn't get a chance to properly review every show. (Well, hey, we still have our own lives to live, you know!) Here's a list of shows that just didn't make the cut-off -- because Raphael had not been able to review the show...
|
Omoide Poro Poro (Only Yesterday) |
This beautifully realised movie explores one woman's voyage of self-discovery, and what she truly wants in her life. It's a quiet, gentle story full of hope and promise -- one that many adults will be able to relate to, whether you're thirty or seventy. Combined with a most varied soundtrack and some stunning scenery, this is a truly captivating show from Studio Ghibli. |
|
Key the Metal Idol |
Incredibly engrossing tale of a young robot, Mina Tokiko ("Key" as she's known to her friends), who struggle to become human in this modern and more cerebral take on 'Pinnochio'. This series features a level of writing and story-telling that is very rare in any series, animated or not. |
|
Wings of Honneamise |
The first major project tackled by GAINAX, this movie's budget nearly destroyed the fledgling company before it even had a chance to establish itself. Complex story about an Earth-like society's struggle to launch man into space, the intricacies of this 'what-if' scenario is a wonderful feast for the imagination. Animation quality that's difficult to rival, even today! |
But these aren't the only items that didn't make the list... Several titles appeared on 'T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews' list as well.
