I'd say it's almost safe to assume she didn't watch all 500 of them or a lot of them were quite a while back. Given that a google image search could deceive one to make this sort of mistake. Hell I found One Piece pics when I tried it just now.

You might even find it hard to populate the list with 100 anime movies period if you insist on a definition of movie as something which was shown in a theater.
First it looks like Kirei's going to smile, then he looks all serious as if he's trying to hide his laughter and is overcompensating, then he just looks kind of bored like Rin's taking too damn long and he has a bunch of shit to do so can he go now.

I don't remember much about the other parts of the manga, but I think the anime is a fairly faithful adaptation in that respect.

I finally decided to check out the first SatoJun Venice videos and, beyond some of the travel porn stuff, it was interesting to see what he learned as he went through the city and rode on a Gondola first hand.
So there's a lot of photo-referencing:
But it was funny because they had already produced some episodes by that time and after the trip, Sato decided to go back and redo all the sculling animations because they got it wrong before they went on this trip. He even noticed how the water would reflect light onto an oar and decided to add that into the show as well, although to be honest, I didn't really notice that the million times that I watched the show.
Now I feel like rewatching the whole series again though. Must resist.

In the UK the list would be the top 2 essential anime movies to watch!
1. Akira
2. Spirited Away

Hidamari Sketch? I haven't seen it, but that's the impression I've gotten.
Kanamemo.
The funny thing is that
Rin was the only character to be suspicious of Kirei from the very beginning. She's already a much better judge of character than her father.

To be fair to Tokiomi, Kirei's own father had no idea about what Kirei was really like either. Kirei even comments on that after he's dug out of the rubble by naked Girugamesh, that his own father didn't know anything about him. That being said, Tokiomi ended up being pretty worthless all around, if Rin ever found out how useless her father was in the Fourth Holy Grail War she would be pretty pissed considering how competent a mage she already is as a high-school student during the events of F/SN.

Just because it's not in one series doesn't mean it isn't (or used to be, recently, anyway) relatively common in the genre, which it is.
You mean this for shonen/etc. stuff, I assume... but yeah, that would be most of the reason.
What? You were wrong.
... Green?
Yeah, that's what I thought you meant.
Oh, just something about animation, not the actual characters or something.
Yeah, it's definitely a complex enough series that you're unlikely to notice everything on your first time through it. Nothing wrong with that though. I know opinions on the series are mixed, but I definitely thought it was good.
Don't kill yourself yet, there's so much to live for, like pretending that you never watched this series...Fate/Stay Night 20
Ah. Love Hina's good, try it...
It's definitely the Star Wars theory on planetary design. Eh, why not, though... I've never really minded it.
Combination action-RPG and dance game, or something? Could work, perhaps.
Immature maybe, but fanservicey? No, not really, unless you mean "anime characters are usually teenagers" is fanservice.
Yeah, Kino's Journey used that same design as well. It does simplify things, of course, but it's not completely impossible, certainly. I mean, sure it is convenient that every place they run into in things with this kind of design can be easily distilled into a single setting or style, and that is unrealistic, but still... the alternative would be too complex for most any movie or tv series to handle. And having at least some single-environment planets makes reasonable sense, I think.
That thing's not over, really? I guess everyone was hoping it was...
Actually, the funniest thing is that (FSN spoilers)
he looks all smug after giving Rin the dagger without knowing that the same dagger would be used to kill him a couple of years later.

Episode 20 is the worst episode ever. EVER.
If only they warned me of the episode that was to follow...

this show is . . . too good.
gotta love the comedy and the way it balances that with escalating stakes and the feels. It's also the best looking show this season, and the hip, goofy aesthetics coupled with the vibrant colors really make shit pop. i'm sure tons of other folks have commented on the character developments and all the assorted quality writing perks. the way that they develop and now have bloomed feels natural and right. even with the off-the-wall premise it still feels grounded by the believable characters and the lack of dorama for the sake of dorama (fuck you apollon).
i am satisfied; let god nakamura lead the way as the FALSE IDOL apollon falls by the wayside. saving episode 11 for tomorrow. i'm going to be so sad when this is over. But thursday is going to be so hype.
natsuki why you so moe

Not bad, but nothing special, really. The whole show felt like a throwback to action anime from the 80's and 90's, visually and thematically, which is nice I guess, gives it a sort of a unique feel among anime today.
It was a bit rushed, a lot of it is left unresolved and I expected some more action (especially from the finale), but I wasn't bored and it kept me entertained for the 20 minutes per week I was willing to spend on it.
I guess I'll read the manga someday.

what happened to the dignity of moe pirates.

The show gets better with each episode. The start is slow, but if you're catching up that shouldn't be a problem.

Wow, dude did you read my mind? Right on. Yeah, Brief was really my only source of enjoyment so it deserved some praise for that.
To be a one, assuming I wouldn't drop it (ie forced to watch it cause of friend obligation or something, like P&S), the anime would just have to be plain bad, really slow and dull filled with ugly characters, ugly art, ugly animation, terrible and unlikable characters, a plot I couldn't care for, essentially anime like Honey and Clover, or something with absolutely no redeeming factors and just barf inducing like Ikkitousen or Blood-C.

Xin and Diao are hilarious, there were so many good parts, all of the interaction parts are often unforgettable as well. Xin is definitely making this anime fun. The music while running to the destination was nice. Though the best exchange was whom would carry whom with Xin and Sei.
