The "Scotland Loves Anime" film festival takes place annually in Glasgow and Edinburgh. It was started in 2010 and includes the "Golden Partridge" jury award and audience-voted awards.

The past winners of the Golden Partridge Award are as follows.

2016: Kimi no Na wa.
2017: Yoake Tsugeru Lu no Uta
2018: Penguin Highway
2019: Kimi to, Nami ni Noretara
2020: n/a

In 2017, the live action Tokyo Ghoul film had its UK premiere at SLA.

In 2019, Isora Iwakiri's film The Sacrament had its UK premiere at SLA.

In 2020, the festival was hosted online. It also included Penguin Highway, Production I.G.'s short film collection and Weathering With You.

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.

Animes set in desert or isolated areas

I remember going to the video store, browsing the shelves, and picking out a movie based on the box art alone. I'd look at the front, I'd look at the back, and more often than not I'd put it back on the shelf. Occasionally there'd be something like Ghost in the Shell or Ninja Scroll, and I knew I just had to rent it, or more accurately get my parents to rent it.

This isn't just a list of movies that were available on VHS at my local video store, this is also a list of movies that I would have rented had they been there. They have box art and synopsis appeal, regardless of the reality contained within.

This is my virtual VHS store, where we say Japanimation and we don't stock TV shows unless they're only a few episodes long. I hope you like violence and nudity. Things here also generally skew older, keeping with the VHS theme.

This is the good stuff list. If you want the bad stuff list, go here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9520

Tags: Old, Oldtaku, Retro, Violent, 1980s, 1990s

Do you like watching trashy 80/90s OVAs and movies that are violent, stupid, and nonsensical? Well this list is for you. Some of these are pretty famous in the community like Violence Jack and M.D. Geist, but I made sure to really dumpster dive for some obscure trash for all of you garbage connoisseurs out there.

Some of the best stand alone anime movies

Anime from 1998 or before (with a few exceptions) with great animation

Stunning animation. Attention & care put into the characters, places, animals, and every single detail of the world to the point that its aesthetic becomes instantly recognizable.
7-10★ materials.

Anime Movies from the 70s & 80s.
Other Movies: Doraemon Movie 07: Nobita to Tetsujin Heidan, Saint Seiya: Shinku no Shounen Densetsu, Little Nemo, Penguin's Memory: Shiawase Monogatari.

Standalone Animes Movies & OVAs from the 80s & 90s that I want to watch.
Only a few notable ones are apart of a series.
Two of the movies are from the 1970s.

More: Twilight Of The Dark Master

Just some classic physical cels and hard work.

Try to get the blu-ray or 4K version of these works (if they exist and after you've checked them to see if you like them) because the high-resolution scans are clean and really help bring out the texture and color of these works. And yes, it looks better on physical media than streaming always.

Ordered somewhat by aesthetic preference.

(Disclaimer: on the off chance something is digitally constructed let me know)

P.S. let me know if there's something i should check out?

Anime that, at the time of the release, was set at least a year into the future but with a date that has already come to pass. Also includes anime with plot-important events set in a future that has already passed, even if the anime's main setting still remains in the future.

Sequels, special episodes and retellings excluded.

I'm open to any corrections and additions! Atm it seems there are no anime set in 2024.

Manga, LNs and other literature set in a future now in the past: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30071

Recommended for older viewers that want an alternative to shows and movies set at Anime High School. Casts in these anime are primarily over 18 and most are intended more for adult audiences, even if they're silly or light-hearted in nature. (Big obvious exception: Dragon Ball Z.)

Anime released on VHS by Manga Entertainment/Manga Video in the UK. If you have any additions or corrections let me know.

(note: this does not include hentai as the stack would have to remain unlisted if it did)
