    definitely gonna have to add some of these to my watchlist, thank you! personally I’d recommend two more of Yuasa’s films, “Night is Short, Walk on Girl” as well as “Inu-Oh.” the former is a really quirky fun night on the town movie of this one girl and her friends living through the longest night of their lives, but is just filled with wacky characters and fun scenarios, in this collage-like artstyle. the latter is his newest release i believe, a historical rock opera where a really charming duo rebel against society and make some badass (and extremely catchy and memorable) music together!! it’s all about living your life and such, moved me when i got to see it. thanks again for the recs!!

    I went to see Belle on my birthday last year. After that, I found an incredible love for Anime movies. I heard of Studio Ghibli for years, but I realized that Japan has a long and diverse history of stunning animated films that are both artistic and entertaining. I feel like anime movies are better than anime shows at this point. Some of my favorites are Satoshi Kon’s films like Perfect Blue.

    I'm definitely gonna try to check all of these out!
    The only recommendation I have would have to be Doukyuusei. It's a pretty cute BL with a really pretty and unique visual style consisting of what I believe to be watercolor, or at least something very reminiscent of it. It's a very calming, chill little movie, and while it's no means perfect, it's definitely a nice little experience worth the watch.

Hope you get to watch those if you haven't already.

    P.S. I'm a new follower and I respect you. Please don't take offence to this: I'd like to politely mention that the intended pronunciation of "Ghibli" is "jee-bly". Love your content and have a nice day!

    Nice list, I’ve actually not heard of several of these, and will probably check most of them out. As for the ones I have heard of:
    - Josee… own it, watch it at least twice a year, if not more.
    - Red Line: been on my TBW list for far too long, should probably take care of that…
    - Princess Kaguya: absolutely beautiful, also own it, and my kids occasionally pick it off the list to watch, it’s an absolute masterpiece
    Keep up the good work 😊

    @SacrificAbominat 5 месяцев назад

    I've been recently getting into Chinese Donghua and I think I'd recommend a couple of them as Ghibli movie alternatives as well. Mostly from 2 studios though.
    Coloroom Animation does some really amazing 3D movies that surpass Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks as technical showcases. Deep Sea in particular is literally a Van Gogh painting animated and it never lets up with how creatively insane it can be. I also really like how striking and poignant Jiang Ziya (The Legend of Deification) is and the villain Daji is like a great Disney Renaissance villain that we've been missing for decades from Disney, unfortunately it's not a musical so no great villain musical numbers with this one. Nezha is pretty, but I think it's story and message are hit or miss. Nezha is pretty unlikeable, but that's kind of how he is in Chinese mythology.
    Light Chaser animation is really good with Wuxia fighting animation, so their movies are great action movies. I think the characters can be a bit flat, but their movies are a pretty good time overall. The White Snake and New Gods series are both really good, and I've heard Chang'an is their best movie, but I haven't seen it yet.

    @SSP50505 2 года назад

    I'm obviously kinda biased since it's my favorite anime movie and probably my favorite movie overall but I feel like Satoshi Kon's Millennium Actress will always be in the shadow of his other works, most notably Perfect Blue and Paprika which is an absolute shame because that film is both a great production and a beautiful love letter to the history of cinematography (mainly Japanese cinema), and the way it seamlessly transitions between the present, Chiyoko's past and scenes from her movies (again, a lot of them based on actual Japanese films), purposefully confusing the viewer about whether what they're watching is real or not inside the story, is basically immaculate.

    I just watched The Tale of Princess Kaguya, and it is, by far, the movie where I shed the most tears. I don't really know why, I just felt something. The ending, I was not expecting that. I was dumbfounded and was sh1tting tears. Maybe it's just me, tho. Still, it is an amazing film, even if the story isn't really that complex.

    But I believe there is something missing....AND IT IS Violet Evergarden: The Movie. Well it is the end to the Anime Series and maybe thats the reason you did not put it in here, but god damn i have mever cried more because of a movie. Yes, one has to watch the whole Anime before, and maybe the short Movie and the Special Episode, but damn its worth it. It has been a long time a story had such a great ending. Did i already mention that i cried for more than a hour, even after the movie has already ended? Well it just hits the spots.
    Another movie i really enjoyed, well not as much as Violet Evergarden: The Movie, was Ghost in a Shell. Thats a certified classic every single Anime fan has to watch because its almost perfect in every sense.
