It's not the top. There are TONS better!

Such as? And you better not say Akira or Spirited Away...........

Princess Mononoke, Ghost in the Shell...

Ghost in the Shell better than Grave of the Fireflys? LOL, you can't be serious. GITS is the most overrated anime of all time. The plot is way too sketchy and confusing. They never should have turned such a huge manga series into a small 2 hour movie. Same with X 1999.

X - The Movie sucked balls, but the series was awesome.

Grave of the Fireflies IMO is highly overrated. I guess it all depended on your attachment to the characters, but I found them weak. The little kid was just plain out annoying...

It was a nice movie, but I don't see any greatness in it.

What are you comparing it to? Movies in general or anime movies? Compared to most movies in general I'd say it's above average, but there are many other movies I'd rather watch instead. Compared to most anime movies IMO it's better than a large majority of other anime movies I've seen.

true true~

Next on the list was Spirited Away- another top notch movie!

yep, that is a good one as well.

i thought spirited away was cr@p, what was with that lame ending anyways?
 
Graves of the Firefly is definitely better than Spirited away. I has more centric theme IMHO. Ghost in the shell may be confusing but it's still a piece of well done animation.

Personally I like "castle in the sky" and "Valley of the wind", his earlier works, a lot better.
 
I think it was pretty cool but it's not that great. The story is great so is the animation, but I thought that it was missing something.
 
watching X japan perform X disturbs me. especially late 80's/early 90's performances with their mohawk/palmtree type hair. and their fangirls scare the heck out of me.
