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.

I'm not knowledgable about all of these, as the list wasn't originally made by me, so some entries are missing detailed descriptions. Sorry about that.

In this list we have all the anime movies released in Mexican theaters around the history of the country. I will try to be as accurate as possible with brand new titles. Take this as an agenda to rescue those titles distributed in Mexico in a movie theater! Enjoy! 💖💖💖

From Animage magazine, September 1991

A list of classic Toei Animation films. Some are better than others but, in general, they are interesting titles to see and analyze from different perspectives, especially, from the perspective of the history of anime and its international distribution.

This list includes those anime films distributed on VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray in Mexico. Currently, due to the death of the home format in Mexico, they are all discontinued editions, but they are collectible pieces for every Mexican anime fan.

Toei Animation was Japan's first major animation studio. Throughout the 1960s, they made several films inspired by American studios such as Disney. These movies tend to have animation more fluid than that of the average anime.

Movies with Openings for AMQ, Famous or Not!

A basic recommendation of anime classics starting from the important year 1963 when Astro Boy debuted. Only one anime per franchise allowed, and selection is partly based on watchability, so you can get right into what seems interesting.

This is the first part of five, this part covers 1963–1974

Part 2 (1975–1986): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57265
Part 3 (1987–1998): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57268
Part 4 (1999–2010): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57273
Part 5 (2011–2022): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57279

In the first years of this part much anime was black and white. During all the years experimental and pioneering anime paved the way for franchises, companies, and the industry as a whole. 1969 was an especially strong year for anime (Sazae-san, Dororo, Tiger Mask, Attack no.1, Puss in Boots, Himitsu no Akko-chan, Moomin, The Flying Ghost Ship, Animerama 1).
