        F   lamu
20-     J   maho no yosei pelsia        F vanessa ou la magie des rêves (!)

NB: I still haven't seen RANMA NI BUN NO ICHI, MOBILE POLICE PATLABOR,
        DRAGON QUEST, MAGICAL TARURUTO KUN, WATARU 2, CITY HUNTER 2/3/91,
        and I've seen only the ten first episodes of NADIA,
        ... so i may change my mind !

        Fuck off to the US cartoons ! (except The Simpsons)

 About the films...

   1/ J   KAZE NO TANI NO NAUSICAA *****        E warriors of the wind
                F le combat des princes de l'espace (ahahahahahahahahah)
                the masterpiece of HAYAO MIYAZAKI ! (story, gfx, anim, zik)
   2/ JEF AKIRA ***** technically speaking, the BEST film ever made.
                (especially at the beginning & at the end) And it's so
                exciting when you see it in a cinema...
   2/ ex-aequo  J   TENKU NO SHIRO LAPUTA *****         E untranslated yet !
                Hayao's 1986 film. It is technically even better than Nausicaä
                (1984), with its great musics, animations and graphics, but
                I find Nausicaä more emotional ! (Laputa's fabulous anyway !)
   4/ SAINT SEIYA #3 *****      F les chevaliers du zodiaque - abel
                artistically fantastic... wonderful musics !
   5/ SAINT SEIYA #2 ***        J Åsegard       E north gods    F asgard
                very nice effects... and cool scenario ! (about Hyoga)
   6/ E   QUEEN MILLENIA *****? F princesse millenium by Leiji Matsumoto
                i saw this film about 10 years ago and i don't really
                remember it, but it marked me. i'm soon gonna get it on a
                videotape, so i'll soon be able to tell you how cool it is.
   6/ SEINTO SEIYA #1 ***       J Iris sama     F (...) la pomme d'or
                some interesting scenes (view of the hell, ...)
   7/ F   ELFIE *       a sort of Nausicaä of the Seas !

Rem: Films I haven't seen yet...
        Majo no Takkiyubin (Kiki delivery service) by Hayao
        Tonari no Totoro (my neighbour Totoro) by Hayao
        Little Nemo (ditto)
        Urotsukidoji (Legend of the Overfiend) the hard one !
                eheh, another non-definitive chart !
