A list of the best anime movies
part 1

Zima Entertainment is a Mexican distributor dedicated to distributing movies and series in theaters and home format, mainly only in their original language with subtitles. In this list you will find all the animes that they have distributed, both in home format and movie theaters.

♥ According to Anime News Network, Zima distributes Millennium Actress in Mexico but it was never released in home format, it's still on this list for a reason. The film was released in theaters by Arcade Media for a limited time, and was dubbed for television, specifically for Paramount Channel and later on Cinecanal.Possibly Zima together with Arcade had the film dubbed for television, but it was never released in home format by Zima (and by no one) in Mexico.

No dubs with imitation American accents are included, only proper Bri'ish voices.

Let me know of any mistakes or anything that should be on the list.

This is a list of anime that fall under the 'Cottagecore' aesthetic. The Cottagecore aesthetic romanticizes nature, the countryside and slow living. It consists of peaceful pastoral locations, homemade crafts, and traditional homesteading activities such as cooking, picnicking, gardening, forging, care-taking, etc.

Cottagecore is a western concept, but goes hand in hand with 'Iyashikei', which is a theme often intertwined with Slice of Life. It emphasizes slow living, and appreciates the wonder of being alive. It brings a gentle joy to the chores in every day life, and has a peaceful, serene tone. It's one of the narrative styles that make Japanese works so distinct and charming.

I'll be adding to this list as time goes on. Some of these works wont fully fit the Cottagecore aesthetic, but are close enough that they're worthy of being in the stack.

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

GKIDS is an American film distributor based in New York with, according to the Los Angeles Times, a focus on "sophisticated, indie" animation. GKIDS releases critically acclaimed mostly hand-drawn, international films—such as the works of the independent Japanese anime studio Studio Ghibli—to North American audiences. GKIDS also distributes computer animated and stop-motion films in addition to hand-drawn ones, as well as American films by independent filmmakers. The name is said to be an acronym for "Guerrilla Kids International Distribution Syndicate".

In this list are those anime that have been distributed by the distributor GKIDS.

Enjoy!

Suggestions welcome.

Also should contain Bible Black but including hentai in the stack would remove its visibility unfortunately.

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*

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.
