Tenkuu no Shiro Laputa

Hi everybody! I have prepared a good list for beginners. The ranking is mixed. First ten anime is most legendary anime. I think everyone should watch it. Don't worry it's not my favorite 10.
Then I included the movies. Most miyazaki movies anyway.
The rest are mixed. Watch in the order you want.
Enjoy!

Anime that focuses on the importance of the natural world on its own terms and/or the ramifications of negligent human interactions with the world.

Now let me preface, the title is a bit reductionist, we shouldn't feel obligated to label what something is or isn't. Rather, the media below at the very least has an idea in it that is tangental to eco-politics whereas other works or more directly critiquing a specific topic (say wars effect on the environment).

Either way all of these works have something in them that might add to your perspective of the subject.

Also feel free to message me if you wanna talk or recommend me something. I'm always down to learn/hear a new perspective.

I've added ones that I think are easy to watch, famous enough, intersects with other media niches, or don't have an “anime vibe”.

A list based on the Magazine cover for "General Products Catalog"

JelloApocalypse (a.k.a Brendan Blaber) is a voice actor, writer, and YouTuber. His presence online is largely due to his “Welcome To” and “So This Is Basically” series published on YouTube. He also creates video every once and a while speed marathoning a set of movies while only describing them in 10 words or less, be it Disney Movies, Dreamworks Movies, or even Scooby Doo Movies. This stack is a synthesis of his Ghibli speed ranking video. Jello included some movies that aren’t Ghibli but have a lot of crossover staff wise, so I have included them here as well. Also since the video was published in 2018 it does not include any Ghibli movies beyond that point.

Format:

*movie*
*ranking in comparison to the other movies*
*rating out of 10*

*the 10 words or less sentences*

*if it is in the top or bottom 3 it will be written here*

If I found out I had a year left to live, these are the shows that I would rewatch into the ground.

Anime from 1998 or before (with a few exceptions) with great animation

Basically a Letterboxd vs MAL comparison for 2023.
It's an interesting look into how normal people view anime.

no recaps no short films basically
"Most Popular Anime Film" aka more than 100k watched and how popular it is right now (March 2023) on Letterboxd (as that's how sorting by Film Popularity works and I'm lazy)
I've also labelled movies with less than 5k ratings as "niche" so now you can blend in with normal people.

11 (22%) of the movies were produced by Studio Ghibli.

The only entry you wouldn't expect is Comet in Moominvalley.

Shoutout to the bunch of movies I had to remove when I realized I missed a few stuff (Redline and Aria the Benedizione)

Movies from before 2000 that are not tied to other series

Anime Movies from the 70s & 80s.
Other Movies: Doraemon Movie 07: Nobita to Tetsujin Heidan, Saint Seiya: Shinku no Shounen Densetsu, Little Nemo, Penguin's Memory: Shiawase Monogatari.

Standalone Animes Movies & OVAs from the 80s & 90s that I want to watch.
Only a few notable ones are apart of a series.
Two of the movies are from the 1970s.

More: Twilight Of The Dark Master

Any anime that came out anytime before the year 2000.

Already found and watched anime in this genre.

Here are only the anime I watched, I will fill it as I watch it. I'm still add here, but not very fast and don't repeat for several seasons, only the first one is indicated.

Many things can be said about studio Ghibli - an institution and hallmark of a name that produced movies that are both critically and casually loved and appreciated. Their distinct artwork can be easily recognized and their stories have particular whimsical romanticism that could make us perceive the world as brimming with positivity and magic, as long as we dare to look at it that way.

Most of their works are able to be appreciated from viewers of all ages and there are quite often nuances that could be acknowledged and appreciated by more detailed inspection, the lavish symbolism and meticulous crafting of their stories is something the studio's famous for. Although the magical motifs are abundant and presented in a very organic way, at the core of their tales, lies the empathetic and humane - all of them shows a colorful and poignant cast, who often tries to see the better in humanity, and is not afraid to point at it's mistakes and problems. With their actions, they protest towards the cruelty and unfairness that the world is plagued with, and seeks to find a better way in which everyone can coexist.
