Junkers Come Here

The Animation Film Award (アニメーション映画賞) is an award given to the best animated feature film at the Mainichi Film Awards. The award was established to reward large scale cinematic animation, enabling the Oofuji Noburou Award to focus on shorter pieces. This award was first presented in 1989 for Kiki's Delivery Service by Hayao Miyazaki.

An ongoing list of my favorite and personal anime movies.

Updated 12.11.2024

Visual presentation and exploration of romance or relationships.

This list contains all movies that aren't related with any anime series. (Pre 2014)

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/1267
Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/7998

I watched 35 movies from this list and these are my most favorites:

- Wolf Children
- The Tale of Princess Kaguya
- Tokyo Godfathers
- The Wind Rises
- The Girl who Leapt Through Time
- Kiki's Delivery Service
- 5cm Per Second
- Perfect Blue

Collection of films and OVAs (and one TV series) that "feel" like Ghibli films, but aren't related to the studio and aren't connected to its canon lineup. Factors considered include story beats and character designs that are often seen in Ghibli works as well as works by Ghibli staff completed for other studios.

Dogs in dog form that play an important role in their respective anime.

Welcome to my Obscurity series, which I hope will help you delve deeper into the depths of anime, particularly the classics.

The criteria here is simple: Anime released in 2001 or earlier, with under 35,000 MAL Members, and which I've rated a 7 or higher.

I'm also not including anything that I've already included on my Good Stuff list: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9517

It is perhaps worth noting that I rate things entirely on gut feeling. It's just, "I like that, that was good, it gets a 7.", that's the whole process. I can also find enjoyment in just about anything and there's very little that bothers me.

*My dog passed away just recently. I dedicate this stack to him. May pet owners who recently lost their pet dog find healing with these cute shows about dogs.
*Edit: I lost 2 senior dogs in a span of 5 months in 2022. Heartbreaking!
*Update: Received 2 new puppies last February.
*Another update: Sadly, one of the 2 new puppies passed away. Also, got to spend a week or so with another puppy who unfortunately also went away. So, I lost 2 dogs in a span of 3 days this May. It hasn't been a year since the one I dedicated this stack to died and I already lost 2 more. A total of 4, 2 senior dogs in a span of 5 months and 2 new puppies in a span of days after another 5 months. Devastating! Tight hug to the remaining puppy, she's a survivor.
*Yet another update: Our dog got a new companion this September. We just adopted a new one who happens to look like one of our previous dogs.

Pre-1990 films with talking animals, excluding Ghibli.

Movies from before 2000 that are not tied to other series

anime with little to no oversexualization/hypersexualization of female characters. no harems regardless of horniness because it's still weird & misogynistic. i tried to avoid shows that simply have little to no girls at all. i'm tired of feeling grossed out by every anime/manga !!

Anime I feel would greatly appeal to fans of Ojamajo Doremi, both old and new. If you're someone already loves Doremi, there's a very strong chance you'll love at least one of these too!

Most what is listed shares key staff with Doremi or otherwise has a similar tone or aesthetic. If you have any suggestions for what should be here, feel free to message me or post a comment on my profile!
