A list of the best anime movies
part 1

Short format (and sometimes episodic) anime that you will enjoy in a small amount of time. Wether It has less than 12 episodes or
the duration of the episodes is between 5-15 minutes. Stand-alone OVAs & ONAs are included too.

This list is under development ◖⁠⚆⁠ᴥ⁠⚆⁠◗

I included those anime which are realistic and relatable. You can relate to the characters and events in the anime with your own life.

Sometimes I get in the mood to watch a short or short series, but have found (much to my dismay) that there are so few good ones and so many truly horrifying ones! This is a list of shorts and short series that I've watched and enjoyed and recommend to those that are looking for something like these to watch.

(the shorts are listed first and then the short series)

Movies from 2010-2019 that are standalone.

I watched all of these anime during Spring 2023

Top anime (in my opinion)

New in Spring 2023
Top 1. Oshi no Ko, It's a big mistake to think that this is an idol anime with a music genre (like I was fooled by the title and cover of the comic), because this is about showbiz, behind the fun, smiles, laughter of artists/idols/people in showbiz, there are The dark side of that world, this anime is really interesting because it is related to real life, cases like bullying, stalking, evil comments from netizens, etc.
Top 2. Mashle, the MC doesn't have magic powers in a world that uses magic, so he uses muscle power, this anime is really entertaining
Top 3. Yamada-kun to Lv 999 no Koi wo suru, a romcom anime where in my opinion every scene, especially the atmosphere, is made in detail about the feelings of FL, ML, etc.
The story is about FL who broke up but wanted to take revenge on her ex through an offline meeting in the game Forest of Savior, but there FL meets a real ML figure where her character is in the same guild as FL

Sequel:
Top 1. DR. STONE: NEW WORLD
When modern humans have to experience the stone age again, every episode always makes me curious, what other ideas do Senku and his friends have, what other actions, what else to make, it's really exciting
Top 2. KIMETSU NO YAIBA: KATANAKAJI NO SATO HEN
The animation is really good but in my opinion it's not as exciting as the previous arc in the Dr Stone anime. I also don't really like the use of 3D in action/people/monsters but the use of moves in this anime is still good

Completed Series: HATARAKI MAN
FL who works at a magazine, always prioritizes his work, can change to hataraki man mode (working man) but doesn't have romance, but the question is related to real life

Movie: BLACK CLOVER: MAHOU TEI NO KEN
Former magic emperor vs magic knight
It's really epic, the animation quality of the film is really good, maybe if it was in the cinema it would be better 🤣
In my opinion, the anime movie is mixed canon, even though the author made it, but the storyline of the movie doesn't affect the main story of the manga, aka it wasn't adapted from the manga, even though the characters are the same.
From the first minute to the end the war continues

Notes: I have definitely watched/read the anime/manga that I give a rating
I will not give a rating below 5, Rating 5 for me = 1, >8 = recommended
if it's not good for me, the status "Dropped" and no rating

Top Anime Opening songs of Spring 2023 (in my opinion)
1. Kizuna no kiseki by MAN WITH A MISSION ft Milet (Kimetsu no Yaiba: Katanakaji no Sato Hen)
2. Cantabile by Novelbright (Ao No Orchestra)
3. Shayou by Yorushika (Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu)

Top Anime Ending Songs of Spring 2023 (in my opinion)
1. Always and Forever by Serra (Kanojo ga Koushaku tei ni Itta Riyuu)
2. Kamihitoe by Uru (Jigokuraku)
3. Fireworks by MindaRyn (Kanojo ga Koushaku tei ni Itta Riyuu Ending 2)
