The Animation Film Award (アニメーション映画賞) is an award given to the best animated feature film at the Mainichi Film Awards. The award was established to reward large scale cinematic animation, enabling the Oofuji Noburou Award to focus on shorter pieces. This award was first presented in 1989 for Kiki's Delivery Service by Hayao Miyazaki.

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 :)

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.

A selection of more linear and conventional story telling or just damn good art.
If you want to see how vast the anime world is and explore narratives and art styles that are not part of the mainstream, try them out.

DigiCon6 ASIA Awards is a competition for short films of Asian origin, established in the year 2000 by TBS.

Most of the winning entries from recent years can be viewed for free on the official website and youtube channel:

There is an English version of the website as well, but it doesn't list all the Japanese regional winners. Instead, unlike the Japanese version, it does have winners from other regions:

This list is by no means comprehensive, as many of the winners don't have a MAL entry yet, presumably because the creators might not be established in the industry.
