A list for those who like anime with anthropomorphic animal characters.

These anime can look as beautiful as they are nightmarish.

These TV shows, movies and OVAs make horrifying images look as aestheticly pleasing as possible sometimes through creative character designs, bold color choices or breathtaking animation.

I'm trying to keep the characters as young as possible because these works tend to present more imaginative, even incoherent, segments, often due to a limited perspective or understanding of the world inhabited by the characters. Typically, this entails engagement with the unknown or unfamiliar or scenarios that are not fully grasped, and tapping into that feeling is easiest with children. This can include ordinary life expressed in an abstract way in Googuri Googuri, the augmented reality of Dennou Coil, or the dream world of Little Nemo. Initially, the list was meant to catalog independent short films with imaginative transitions, as I feel these capture the tone of what I'm going for best, but there aren't enough good ones that meet my criteria.

A list of 80s/90s anime OVAs and movies you may not have heard of. Some are good and some are bad, but the bad ones are of the "so bad it's good" variety. Think of this as the anime rack at an old video store.

Every cinema or direct to video anime film that came out in 1998.

Some of the best that classic animation has to offer. I left out some obvious picks since you already know how good something like Akira or Princess Mononoke looks.

Cell animation leaves a particular effect and tone that, if paired with great animation and style, enraptures me like little else can. "They don't make 'em like they used to" some say, these anime are examples are skilled animation that will never be replicated. Although these were produced long before digital anime became common-place, the skill put into these works leaves them timeless.

Personal list of stuff to watch to get that 90s fantasy adventuring vibe. Break!! RPG is a TTRPG inspired by fantasy anime and JRPGs. Some entries might be from the 80s or 00s, because I'm a maverick.
