Advent Children wins Best Anime Feature award |
Ó
Did you know that there's an American Anime Awards? The first ever actually took place last February 24 during the New York Comic Con. And we guess you will be happy to know that the Best Anime Feature award went to Square Enix's CG film "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children".Available in DVD and UMD format, Advent Children was first released in Japan back in 2005. Thank God, Square Enix decided to bring it to North American shores April of last year. A limited edition copy was recently released as well, complete with never before seen contents like scripts, deleted scenes, and character booklets.
The movie's producer Shinji Hashimoto has nothing but gratitude for fans who have been continuously supporting Advent Children and the whole FF series ever since. The producer shared,
Thanks to the dedication of our loyal fans, Final Fantasy VII has come to enjoy 10 years of undying popularity. We're sure fans enjoyed seeing old friends brought to new life on the screen. As creators, we are very proud of the finished product, and as developers, it is truly an honor to receive an award of this magnitude.
The story of Advent Children took placed two years after Sephiroth attempted to destroy the world. A strange disease appeared then as old enemies rose from the ashes for revenge. Cloud must now return from seclusion and fight evil yet again to save humanity.

this is class.
now i have to go out and buy it again to see the deleted scenes.
Score
FINAL FANTASY LIVE ON,
Let's hear it for the fanboy vote.
That movie is a waste of plastic.
Gay
should have gotten an oscar
The movie in terms of storyline was not up to par to even get an oscar.
The movie was more appealing to the eyes then anything else. But that didnt stop millions from getting it.
Its a great movie to show off because of the visuals, but other then that, for the satisfaction of a good storyline, this movie just pales in comparison.
Meh, I like the Fullmetal Alchemist movie better. The story was better, the dialog was better, and the scene where Wrath fights Gluttony kicked ass. Aside from the fight scenes, I wasn't crazy about Advent Children. FFVII is extremely popula-...no, overrated.
Meh, I wasn't crazy about Advent Children. Aside from the fight scenes, there wasn't much to it. I liked the Fullmetal Alchemist movie much better; better story, better dialog, and the scene where Wrath fights Gluttony kicked ass. FFVII is way too overrated.
Everyone who doesn't agree with you is a fanboy? I liked it because it kicked ass. I didn't feel the need to hate on it to make myself look like some kind of "upper class" movie viewer. Gimmie a break b'yotch.
It's an action movie plot. You can't compare things like The Matrix to things like Gone With The Wind. Of course Gone With The Wind was a "better" movie.
an oscar? AN OSCAR? THAT THING SHOULD'VE WON THE NOBEL PEACE AWARD FOR ALL I CARE, NO PRICE IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR IT! O.O!!!!
and yeahz I'm an FF Fanboy, so sue me!
First of all, can Advent Children really be conisidered anime? I've always thought something had to have at least some sort of drawn look to be an anime
Secondly, it wasn't THAT good. Sure, I liked it, but it was no masterpiece. Action and visuals were good, plot was terrible. I was also severly dissapointed they decided to "modernize" the characters. Cloud's outfit was a horrible design, Tifa didn't look that much like Tifa, and Barret was beyond recognition other than the fact that he had a gun arm.
..okay im done.
This movie was awful.
They spent all the money on the CGI and forgot to hire a director.
>The movie in terms of storyline was not up to par to even get an oscar.
An Inconvenient Propaganda won an Oscar, so why not AC?
I'm not sure what people were expecting here. It was what it was - a two-hour action addon to a game that had a 30+ hour story. Maybe FMA should have won as it was a good movie, but FFVII/AC just has more fans.
>First of all, can Advent Children really be conisidered anime? I've always thought something had to have at least some sort of drawn look to be an anime
What, like the Appleseed movie? Or how about Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence? Okay, maybe the latter had drawn characters.
I loved the movie...mainly for he reasons other FFVII fans did...memories >.> and tifa fought like a beast lol. anyway im glad it got an award, but now i gotta go out and get the special edition one, i have the dvd and the umd...I MUST OWN ALL FF VII STUFF!
Didn't like this movie at all, it was really boring.
The movie had some nice action sequences, music and it looked great. The story was really lacking, but it was only 90 minutes and they decided to focus on children and new characters (which was a shame, since they were paper-thin in substance).
Not sure what Advent Children was contending against (nor do I care to check), but Square-Enix was lucky that 2006 didn't have much to offer, or that "killer anime movie" wasn't included in the nominees due to some unexplained reason (read: money).
It's a fun movie, but it's definitely not something that I would remember dearly in my heart for a year.
Seriously
It was not bad, but wasn't great either. For some reason as I watched, hoping that it would twist into some kind of fantasy, but it didn't. Good actions and animations though.
those who didn't like it, that's probably because they never played the entire FFVII game. so they know nothing about it.
That's a generalization. Sorry to break it to ya, but RoboCop 3 sucks even if you saw RoboCop 1.
Final Fantasy VII was a very satisfying game (except perhaps the ending), but the movie was not up to par. The story was thin and the new characters were underdeveloped (and unnecessary).
It looked good, gave us a taste of what FFVII could be like on the PS3, how they might sound and kept us entertained for 90 minutes. If anything it deserved Best Visuals or some similar award.
But of course, this is just another opinion by a person you'll never meet on the internet.
How you people love this game when its sooo boring and annoying.. THIS RPG ***** is soo boring; those FF games for Snes were so gay as well, everywhere you stepped on suddenly some monster stopped you to fight you.. How annnnnnnnnnnoyi ng...
And the ps2 FF games are the same CRAP. fighting side by side with HP bars and borin ***** like it.
GROW UP PEOPLE!!!! GO GET SOME ZELDA thats what I call a GOOD adventure game. not this FF crap.
AMERICAN anime awards? give me a break...
and yeah... the movie was ok... i love cgi, so visually to me it was awesome... but hardly the greatest film ever, and whoever put together the english dub should face a firing squad... there were... what.. only 3 voices done well in that? but the overall mix was horrible. sjb is freakin awesome, but ill never listen to the eng dub again..
I SUCK AND I'M A FANBOY..PLEASE RAPE ME AFTER THIS COMMENT
The CGI is brillant and close perfection, but, it's a crap film. no storyline, and really boring. It's reminds me to MI:2 or Matrix Reloaded. it's like a music clip of 1h 40min of duration, really boring.
Post much?
Anyone who hates this movie, is probably scared to admit they like an anime because there all stupid and care about what other people think. Jesus think for yourselfs for once don't giva ***** what others think about you, all other people do is think to much. (thats what i had to say) this movie pwns all of you!!!
WTF? Are you ok? FMA is way over rated. FMA is lame compared to other great animes. It's still good but you have no right to say FFVII is over rated if your obsessed with FMA, even Naruto for that matter lol.
With CGI fight scenes like that, who needs plot?
Love Anime
Love Movies
Love FF7 (everything about it)
Love CGI
FF7 Advent, was boring. If I wanted a movie about fighting, lacking a story, I'd watch Street Fighter the movie. I didn't like FF7 for it's slick fight sequences, I liked it because of the story, characters and atmosphere.
Feel free to continue the flame war.
I will admit FFVII: AC, had some of the best fight sequences i have ever seen, but that and the Final Fantasy name alone do not make this movie deserving of an wards for "best anime movie"
I personally believe that Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa, deserved the award seeing as it had... ya know... a script. And a director. And a point.
However i do think FFVII: AC deserved an academy award nomination for best soundtrack.
It doesnt matter anyway, The american anime awards are a load of crap. Fans vote for the winner, rather than people who actualy have good taste. Im surprised Naruto didnt sweep. Also "Akira" was nominated for best Anime movie. AKIRA?
