So I watch one anime movie a week. I do so on one of my days off and I do so because its both fun and this is how I trick my unfocused ass to watch a 2 hour movie once a week. lol

Im kinda stuck in the mud about what to watch though. I dont want to watch a movie that belongs to an anime like Gintama because Ive accidentally watched the movie before the series twice by mistake and had to watch the series in case I missed something.

If anyone has any suggestions Id be really, really happy and thankful! Also sorry for asking for recommendations two days in a row!

Thanks!

Omoide Poroporo, Sennen Joyuu, SayoAsa, and Koe no Katachi are amazing dramas.

Akira and Paprika are epic movies in the action/thriller genre.

Also recommend Kaguya-hime and Mary to Majo no Hana (and anything else by Ghibli directors).

I'm gonna count longer one-off OVAs as well for this list. Not all of these hit the 2 hour mark, but they're all fairly enjoyable

Aru Zombie Shoujo no Sainan
Asagao to Kase-san.
Black Magic M-66
Gall Force (it's technically the start of an anime movie series, but the story is contained and fulfilling on its own)
Genmu Senki Leda
Mass Effect: Paragon Lost
Expelled from Paradise

They're part of a larger franchise, but Gundam F91 and Thunderbolt are both self-contained movies with brand new original casts that don't require any context or franchise investment to enjoy

You should watch Kimi no Na Wa, its good. All the other anime movies i think of are linked to a series.

All Makoto Shinkai films, yes all of them are pretty good
Namely,

Kimi no Nawa (Overrated but it's good)
Garden of words
5cm/s
Children who chase lost voices
Voices of a distant star

And other highly mentioned titles
Silent Voice
etc
