It's easy seeing popular and successful anime series getting movies, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fullmetal Alchemist, Inuyasha you name it! If they're big enough, they get movies, most likely.

I'm just wondering though, because in my experience it's usually the first of the movies made out of these series that are actually ok; as in it has a good story which doesn't seem repetitive somehow, milking cliché concepts without much backing it up, provided there are at least three or four movies.

I really enjoyed the first two Naruto movies, maybe the third one as well. I liked the two first shippuden movies, the ending of the second one giving me goose bumps not seen since the opening of the shippuden series!
Then there're a lot of other examples from other series, as for me; I like both Fullmetal movies and the first two or three Bleach movies.
As for One Piece though, it's more scattered as far as my liking those movies goes. The Z movie has yet to be subbbed I believe, thus I can't say much about that one now, but it looks as if I might like that one, so maybe there are exceptions?

What do you all say about this?
I say it's an often recurring phenomenon!
Which movies do you like??



Note: I might as well say this here to make it clear: This is not a thread about which movies are better than which, as much as it is about whether you recongnize the phenomenon described above. This doesn't mean I discourage disagreement, as some may feel it's not like this, perfect!; as that's what I'm asking for as well.
On the other hand, I don't mind hearing which ones you like, and why if you want to say this as well, but if you want to argue with others about it, please make another thread for that.
It's also ok to just talk about these movies in general.

Yeah, this is what I mean with OP, I like strong world as well, but it certainly isn't the first movie, so I guess there's exceptions!
OP is an exception because the newer movies should be better due to more characters and much more capabilities of characters. Since the first one only had Mugi, Zolo and Nami and gradually more SH's were introduced thus OP movies got better due to it's vastness.

Hmm.. Indeed, but that follows for series like Naruto and Bleach as well; they have lots of characters, new ones as well though don't use them as actively as OP, I'll give you that.
I'm pointed more at how new movies tend to milk cliché stuff without backing it up properly. I think it's an important apsect of a story to be able to make it relatable to reality~
