Another suggestion of mine would be a subbed version of 5 Centimeters Per Second by Makoto Shinkai. It is only an hour long and it has masterful execution in terms of art and soundtrack. Not to mention that the plot, although quite simple, speaks volumes and has its own powerful story to tell. I feel that it is quite the emotional piece and from a personal standpoint, it was one of my first animé titles that I have seen and it left a profound impact on me which let me see animé in a completely different and positive light, which is something that I would love to share with everyone to see.

Cheers,
Deaf

I didn't like it at all. I thought it was terrable.

Every individual has his or her own thoughts and feelings towards any piece, thus not everyone has to enjoy or like the piece. I can acknowledge that 5 Centimeters Per Second has some flaws whether it be the slow pace, lack of action or any other particular element and you have the right to your opinion and I respect it by all means. However, my initial intention was to share a work that I deemed to be well executed and a worthy addition to the animé line-up at the convention. It is after all, just a suggestion.

Cheers,

I LOVED 5 centimeters per second. The score was beautiful, the storyline was realistic and it reaked of excellent direction and animation. I cried at the end for how beautiful it was and the writing was excellent too.

It definitely had its Joss Whedon moments

As far as titles are concerned, it would be great to be able to view some old along with the more recent releases. Perhaps a room or block can be dedicated to classic anime titles, such as Jin-Roh, Ghost In the Shell, Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999, to name a few. Not necessarily those particulars titles, but you get the idea. Another room or block might be dedicated for movies or episodes of more mature titles (Ninja Scroll, Gantz, or Dance Of The Vampire Bund type of fare). Then of course, there are the recent releases, which I'm sure Funimation, Sentai Filmworks, or Bandai Entertainment, for example, would be happy to sponsor.

Personally, I believe there should be a mix of subbed and dubbed videos no matter which titles are picked. Some titles could even be shown twice, one set dubbed and one set subbed (for example, title X episodes 1-3 shown dubbed in one block, and then shown again subbed in another block). All materials displaying the schedule, whether it's the convention guide or the list on the outside of the room where the title is being shown, should clearly indicate whether that showing is dubbed or subbed. There should be no deviations to what's been posted, as far as being shown dubbed or subbed is concerned. In other words, votes are NOT taken to determine whether a title is shown dubbed or subbed. When people attend a showing that's clearly scheduled as being dubbed, or subbed, they expect the title to be shown that way.

Some key things to keep in mind:
- Publish the video schedule in the convention guide and another one in front of each room where the videos are being shown, tailored to each individual room;
- Indicate in the published schedules (convention guide and each video room) whether the title is being shown dubbed or subbed;
- Unless some unforeseen circumstance arises (title unavailable), stick to the published video schedule;
- Any deviations from the published video schedule should be clearly marked on the list posted outside the video room affected.

Video rooms are a great way to remember the old and to experience the new. Several of the titles I've purchased over the years were done so because I saw them for the first time at an anime convention and liked them enough to add to my collection.

BRS (Black Rock Shooter) for those Miku/Vocaloid fans out there. And I'm talking about the anime series of it that will be released next season, I believe; not that hour long OVA/OAD/OAV.

Aoi Bungaku-- No Longer Human. And only No Longer Human. (ep 1-3). Because this retells a widely recognized and famous autobiography(ish) novel under the title of.. You guessed it, No Longer Human, in anime style. Art style's particularly dark and calm. And yes, the story is as depressing as the title suggests.

Some one-shots from Geniu Party (Beyond) because those are absolute masterpieces that people must watch. Especially Dimension Bomb. That was the most satisfying 10-15 minutes of my life. The art style and the need to interpret the story for yourselves.

Movies:
ARRIETY, OF COURSE.
Mardock something something. That new one with the goy graphics.
Colorful. Only one of the best movies I've ever seen. The ending made me feel all sentimental.
Millenium Snow. Or anything by Satoshi Kon, really.
Voices of a Distant Star.
MACROSS FRONTIER MOVIE 2011.
A Detrctive Conan movie. It's always nice to throw one or two classic detective movies in there for us mystery fans.
L Change the world, maybe?
Kurosagi movie, maybe?
The Return of the Cats. More people needs to know about this.
The new Tekken movie coming out for us Tekken fans.
Final Fantasy Advent Children movie? It's always nice to put in some undeniably godly 3D animation movies.
Maybe aim for the good ol' days and put on Inuyasha?
Or Gundam movies? The graphics almost.... ALMOST... Never fails when it's Gundam.

..... That's just my 2 cents for now...
