just something dark and serious.
Please no Akira, Ghost in the Shell or anything old generally, unless it has a clean animation style like nausicaä.

Pokemon: The First Movie is dark and serious?
Have you seen howls moving castle? It's not really dark so much as it is abstract. I loved it though.
YOU might like Karas. I didn't. It features a loose (awful), very dark plot and over 5 billion gallons of blood...

That pikachu versus pikachu fight scene was some heavy stuff.
F*ck, there was the one creepy movie that scared the sh*t outta me that showed on Toonami... but I can't remember the name...
Also, have you seen Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away?

Karas - No thanks. There needs to be substance.
The Moving Castle - Also no thanks. Too light-hearted for my taste.
Something like Kara no Kyoukai. Something that makes you think and is beautiful.

Mononoke; Yes.

Have you ever tried Murder Princess? It's not a movie but with only 6 episodes it might as well have been. You can tell me how it is.
Edit: Oh, wait. Something that makes you think...?
*shrug*
Have you seen Blood: The Last Vampire?
If you liked Summer Wars, watch the Digimon movie. It's the same thing. The first part anyway.
The first two live-action Death Note movies are pretty good, but they aren't anime...

Yes, i've seen Blood: The Last Vampire Anime & Movie and Yes, i've seen the Death Note Movies & Anime.
And i watched everything-digimon as a child, so no to that too.
:L
And jkid, Murder Princess sounds so... wat.
Grave of the Fireflies?

Maybe it's just my princess fetish talking here but the concept sounds..."neat", to say the least. Apparently a princess falls off a cliff onto an assassin and during their near death experience their souls get confused and enter the wrong bodies so you have a psychopathic princess chopping off heads and a naive, most likely adorable, assassin going around trying to make friends.
Like I said. If you do watch it it's something that's interested me so if you like it I can trust your opinion enough to try it myself. =P

That sounds quite neat, actually. I'll check it out tomorrow.
As of now, i found a movie anime movie called 'King of Thorn'

But thanks to everyone for the help. ^^
Grave of the Fireflies is pre-Ghibli. It's as serious as can be. I could spoil it for you, but people die is sad ways. Kids. And watching it a second time makes you realize what a person at the beginning of the movie dumps out of a tin is actually the ashes of the guy's sister. There's no happy ending. It's based on a real story, only they went and killed the guy in the movie that lived in real life just to make it bleaker.

I still haven't seen that. I was gonna get it through netflix, but I think the last DVDs we borrowed still haven't been returned.
So, I know you're looking for dark kinda movies.. but I don't know too many xD or at least can't remember those I've seen well enough to recommend it.
Howevuh o3o if you haven't watched Paprika yet, maybe you should give it a try :3 it's definitely different. The animation is pretty awesum too, in my opinion.
And this isn't a anime.. but Silent hill is a pretty dark movie.. for the most part.

There is a Live-Action Version too and a remake of that.
In other news, i just watched King of Thorn...
...i'm not sure if this is the most epic thing i've seen or if its just fucking with my mind.
i swear, in the last 30 minutes of the movie i definitely said 'waitwhat', 'wha' & 'no way' at least thirty

Papurika? It got lots of animation prices, so bizarre though.
Also, Slient Hill?

I really have to check that out at some point, 'cause everyone seems to love that movie even though it got horrible reviews.
Its a video-game movie, how can that be good. pffchhpfff.
Yeah, it has to be one of the weirdest anime movies I've seen so far. It was really good though.
And I don't see why Silent hill got such awful reviews. everyone I know that's seen it has liked it too.
given that's only like.. four or five people.. but still xD
The keroro gunsou (sgt. frog) movies are pret-*COUGH COUGH*. the *cough*. I'm sorry i'm a horrible liar. the Sgt. Frog (Keroro Gunsou) Movies or the cartoon are ridiculously funny and not serious at all. So, sorry, I prefer comedy over seriousness.
