This stack is a collection of anime that are either set during summer or convey summer vibes (for example are set in a place next to the ocean).

Tags: Anime Summer Feel, Anime Summer Feeling, Anime Summer Theme, Anime Summer Vibes

This is a part of a series of stacks that are about artistic tendencies in anime (and that border the fine line between sophisticated and pretentious).

This stack is a work in progress.

Animes which had more humour than I expected.

Summer means joy, sea, beach, swimming, sports, bright colors and of course friends!
And why not with a little action and sadness sometimes?

so there, you'll find all animes with summer vibes to watch at home during the vacations bc you have no friends !...

ey don't cry bro, we are the same...
come I'll give you a hug



...i wanted to add more animes but we can't add more than 50 entries 💀

These stand-alone movies feature supernatural phenomenon relating to water, the ocean, and flooding. The quality of writing varies, since they often focus more on the look and vibes.

This list contains all movies that aren't related with any anime series.

Anime is a visual medium and these are the series and movies that knock it out of the park in terms of being a treat for the eyes.

A big part of what makes anime so interesting is the fact that it’s all animated. So you get to see color palettes and sceneries that you would never see in real life.

And there’s definitely a few anime that are just more visually pleasing than others.

So to celebrate this beautiful art, I'm going to list down some of the most aesthetically pleasing anime ever made. If you’re big into anime you’ll probably like a lot on this list, and even more so if you’re into art too.

This stack includes anime with narration and dialogues denoting particular focus on romanticism, nostalgia drama and solitude, as well an art style with a clear and recurrent depiction of attractive and gorgeous visual elements, including for instance scenes with cherry trees in blossom, or creative and intense use of light for representing scenes like sunsets, starry nights and landscapes in general particularly recalling feeling of romanticism and nostalgia.

Every anime covered on the Castaway Anime podcast, sans seasonal impressions.

Anime movies that are not followed by any a seasonal anime, there's just the movie.



-Contains BL and GL movies.

Romance standalone movies that have clean and crisp animation. While some series do have other related entries, it’s possible to watch this without any prior knowledge which is why I included them in this stack. I hope you enjoy!

List of the 50 best Anime Movies.
Does not include movies closely related to an existing series (aka sequels/prequels/side stories) so you can watch everything in the list without watching a series prior to it.

Keep in mind, that the industry isn't that old yet and unlike normal Anime, the movie industry didn't explode in the last few years so these are basically all the good movies that currently exist.

List is based on:
- stats (mainly MAL score, favorites and popularity)
- awards
- other peoples opinion (reviews, opinions I've heard on Youtube,...)
- personal opinion (can be seen on "list view", which should be the standard one)

Studio Ghibli is without a doubt the most popular Anime Movie studio and also the only one that created a lot of movies. I've excluded the few bad/mediocre ones so I recommend any listed here. The first 4 are generally seen as the best ones, the rest has no order.

General list order:
- Ghibli movies
- Makoto Shinkai movies
- Mamoru Hosoda movies
- Satoshi Kon movies
- other movies

-

Only movies that are not related to tv series

Some lesser known anime that I really like and think more people should watch! Includes both shows and movies.

"Lesser known" to me is going to be defined as any show with under 400,000 viewers listed on MAL from now on, to prevent me from filling this list with just shows that I like but aren't really "lesser known".
