Tonari no Yamada-kun

Here's a bunch of goodies lacking love, many of which are obscure, others just underappreciated. Almost all of them lean more towards being lighthearted, cute and silly. (Not necessarily all at once.) Lots of adventure, too! Keep in mind that they're not all "must-see", but this should still be a great source for finding something new and enjoyable.

Anime that looks like a painting, sorted from A to Z. Mostly watercolor or pastel style with soft and soothing color palette. This list doesn't include Ghibli-esque style. Feel free to comment on my profile if you have some suggestions, and enjoy :)

These pieces have a harmony, uniqueness or just an x-factor to their overall aesthetic presence, to include music/sound design.

This is not to be confused with animation though. While the two intersect, if something is interesting only for its animation quality, hopefully it's not here.

Feel free to message me if you think I should check something out that could be here. And if you disagree or think there is a better representative of something, let's talk.

GKIDS is an American film distributor based in New York with, according to the Los Angeles Times, a focus on "sophisticated, indie" animation. GKIDS releases critically acclaimed mostly hand-drawn, international films—such as the works of the independent Japanese anime studio Studio Ghibli—to North American audiences. GKIDS also distributes computer animated and stop-motion films in addition to hand-drawn ones, as well as American films by independent filmmakers. The name is said to be an acronym for "Guerrilla Kids International Distribution Syndicate".

In this list are those anime that have been distributed by the distributor GKIDS.

JelloApocalypse (a.k.a Brendan Blaber) is a voice actor, writer, and YouTuber. His presence online is largely due to his “Welcome To” and “So This Is Basically” series published on YouTube. He also creates video every once and a while speed marathoning a set of movies while only describing them in 10 words or less, be it Disney Movies, Dreamworks Movies, or even Scooby Doo Movies. This stack is a synthesis of his Ghibli speed ranking video. Jello included some movies that aren’t Ghibli but have a lot of crossover staff wise, so I have included them here as well. Also since the video was published in 2018 it does not include any Ghibli movies beyond that point.

Format:

*movie*
*ranking in comparison to the other movies*
*rating out of 10*

*the 10 words or less sentences*

*if it is in the top or bottom 3 it will be written here*

Some of the best stand alone anime movies

Ghibli Studio movies that weren't directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The description lists the director for the movie as well as Hayao Miyazaki's position if he had one.

Actually this is my favorite anime movie list. MAL rules don't allow personal lists

Many things can be said about studio Ghibli - an institution and hallmark of a name that produced movies that are both critically and casually loved and appreciated. Their distinct artwork can be easily recognized and their stories have particular whimsical romanticism that could make us perceive the world as brimming with positivity and magic, as long as we dare to look at it that way.

Most of their works are able to be appreciated from viewers of all ages and there are quite often nuances that could be acknowledged and appreciated by more detailed inspection, the lavish symbolism and meticulous crafting of their stories is something the studio's famous for. Although the magical motifs are abundant and presented in a very organic way, at the core of their tales, lies the empathetic and humane - all of them shows a colorful and poignant cast, who often tries to see the better in humanity, and is not afraid to point at it's mistakes and problems. With their actions, they protest towards the cruelty and unfairness that the world is plagued with, and seeks to find a better way in which everyone can coexist.
