I was, I repeat was, one of those anti-Anime snobs who classified those who enjoyed the artform as super nerds on par with Star Trek (ed: only the trek is for losers, JEDI's 4EVA!). I softened my stance on it when I was exposed to the potential awesomeness of it in Kill Bill. The only other full length Anime I've ever seen was Spirited Away, which I thought was incredible, so I don't have much to compare it too. This movie was much more story than the child wonderment of Spirited Away. It was still very visually appealing, but with more of a plot.
