Totally Spies: The Movie
 

Yes! Finally, a guilty pleasure at the theatre (albiet french theatres)

(for the record...yes, it's superficial, no the girls arent role models in the slightest except Sam, yes it's got all the depth of a plank of wood..but it's fun and often gets away with nifty things when noone's looking)

This I want to see. It's one of the few "girly" anime that I allowed myself to watch (also as a "guilty pleasure") when I was 10-11 years old. It would definitely be a nostalgia trip...

But.. it isn't anime...

Would I need to see the show to watch it? I always liked girl hero shows, but I dont feel like going back and trying to watch the series to see the movie. I enjoyed the Winx movie more than I probably should have.

It's a pretty simple concept in itself, teenage girls saving the world with cool gizmos and equipment, etc. The movie will probably tell you all you need to know.

Yep, it isnt anime...it has the usual anime-esque influences, but it's distinctly NOT anime

The series doesnt have any dramatics, the girls don't evolve much (Clover finally aqquires a boyfriend in the final seasons), and things are back to normal even after season finales. It's as accessible and as old-school as you can get

Looking at that trailer again, I am quite impressed with the animation quality...:o:o:o

I am squealing with joy on the inside. This was definitely a guilty pleasure when it was still on CN. Can't wait to check it out!

I actually enjoyed this series. I too thought it might have been anime at first but i was pleases to find out that it wasn't. I actually enjoyed alot of the storylines. And I've always felt that Sam had such lovely red hair.

Yes, this isn't anime. Oh, and before someone brings it up, Avatar isn't anime as well.
