They have really poor quality of animation, but as the animation really improves, the storylines get worse and worse. Up through about the end of the first Macross saga is good. Anything after that, I won't be responsible for you watching.

I also highly reccommend Akira and Cowboy Bebop.

You can usually find Cowboy Bebop on KaZaA or other completely legal downloading systems, but Akira is much harder to come by. If you're too cheap to rent it (and I can understand that, but it's well worth the rental price if you can find it anywhere), you could always go camp out in a Barnes and Noble and read the books. There's a bunch of them, and they go much further than the movie does. MUCH further. Like the time Tetsuo takes out an American aircraft carrier by himself.

Wow.

I've only seen the movie once, though, and it was a few years ago.

Yeah, there are like five books of the collected comics, and they're pretty awesome.

Anyway, we're talking about movies, not sci-fi influences.

Although, now that I think about it, 4th Edition seems pretty heavily influenced by manga and especially by Ghost in the Shell.

Okay I know this has been asked a lot, but I'm curious as to what movies would qualify as QUALITY Shadowrun-type movies.  I heard Italian Job, that was good.  As well as Heist, also good.  But those didn't really paint me a picture of a Shadowrun type environment.  I remember a movie from years ago that reminded me a lot of Shadowrun...what was the name.  Johnny something with the guy from The Matrix.  Anybody know what I'm talking about?

were you refering to johnny menomic

In a sense you can almost take any action movie and find something about it that would have a shadowrun feel to it.  I guess I'll just have to gather some of you together and make one myself!  Anybody interested?

Well, if Zone is going to be casting director, then I don't think youu'll be seeing any of us in the production. :'(

Actually, it's too bad we don't have the rescources to make a C.L.U.E. File movie. Now THAT would be entertainment.

I could see someone doing that as a fan-film type of thing, but to do it right, you would need some really spectatular special effects.
