Piano no Mori

Films that were nominated for the Best Animation of the Year prize given by the Japan Academy Film Prize Association, first awarded in 2007. All five nominees are awarded the Excellent Animation of the Year (優秀アニメーション作品) by the association.

This list only contains entries which were nominated, but did not win the Best Animation of the Year prize.

There are many music related anime out there, but music is a rather broad term. Some anime focus more on the singing aspect, others more on the stage show, and some anime are just music videos. This stack is a collection of music related anime where instruments play a larger role. Some characters are simply learning to play these instruments, others play in a band or they use them for special occasions. All kinds of instruments are collected here, such as the piano and keyboard, violins and guitars, brass instruments (trumpet, tuba, trombone, horn, etc.), fluets and others.

Everyone knows Studio Ghibli's amazing work, but what about the other studios?

Most of the Top Movies are related to an anime series, so it is not too easy to find something which can be watched without any previous knowledge.

I will list those standalone movies which I enjoyed besides the Ghibli shows.

Anime shows and movies that have or will have a German dub, but do not currently have an English dub.
If you find any errors, just drop me a PM :)

• Girls Band Cry (2024)

Masayuki Kojima is a Japanese animator, storyboard artist, and director, best known for directing the acclaimed anime series Monster and Made in Abyss. He was born on March 11, 1961, in Yamanashi, Yamanashi, Japan.

Combing through all the tiny, lovely but lacking, stacks focused on rock bands, ensembles, singers, and music makers persuaded me to make the big all-encompassing Interest stack myself. I love singing and playing music, and watching musicians in anime giving it their all makes me all hyped up. Do you also want to see more music anime? This list was compiled and sorted for our convenience!

𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚
The anime must be about making and/or performing music. One title per franchise. Idol animes are excluded as they already can be found conveniently here:

The theme called Music features Music Videos (MVs), Idols anime, music listening anime, and animes in which music making is only secondary. This stack is a little more focused. For the whole MAL Theme "Music", use this link:

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐞
I recommend checking out related titles to the ones in this stack, as some have alternative or independent story lines (i.e. Bang Dream, Argonavis, Liz to Aoi Tori, Piano no Mori). Also, the following anime didn't meet the criteria but are worth mentioning:
　Oshi no Ko — Anime series about an idol singer and a fan
　Perfect Blue — Classic mindf*** movie about an idol singer
　Revue Starlight — Girls battle with singing, acting, and dancing in this theater/opera series
　Bakumatsu Rock — Alternative history series where samurai have guitars instead of swords
　Hypnosis Mic — Hiphop is a weapon in this war torn world, let the rap battle begin
　Takt Op Destiny — Humanoid classical music pieces are weapons in this alien-invaded world
　Vivy Fluorite Eyes Song — In this series an AI singer must destroy all androids or else mankind is cooked
　Lu Over the Wall — Ponyo-like setting, with musicians
　Healer Girl — Schoolgirl healers treat injuries with song
　Dance with Devils — A musical(!) anime series with vampires
　Alien Stage — Korean YT series with MV-like episodes
　Interstella 5555 — Music video movie for Daft Punk album
