Look Back

Perhaps its Voice Acting quality, Animation, additional OST or Direction, these series are on-par or go above and beyond at elevating the manga's content.

An ongoing list of my favorite and personal anime movies.

This list consists of psychological titles, which helped me to accept inevitability and cope with alienation, as well as some other existentional fears, thereby affected my personality above all others. Anime that makes you realise a lot about the meaning of human life and death, relationships, principles and most important: "self-concept".

Nearly all of them induce depressive thoughts, portray social problems that we face IRL, have biblical references and slow pacing. So be sure that you are in the right mood and prepared to face dark side of reality.

P.S. Despite the hopelessness and predestination you may feel while watching, these works of art still bestow warmth and hope through understanding the uniqueness of existence. The world is truly a cruel place and life is lacking meaning and purpose, yet we got the flustering chance to experience ourselves and the universe we share.

Animes whose main characters start out as loners.

This list contains all movies that aren't related with any anime series.

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.

Some animes that I consider serious and with a final message.

I don't recommend them because they are necessarily good or bad, but because they show us another way of thinking about what we had watched and can impact our lives in some way. And I also believe that some of the realistic animes from this list can help us to see how we are leading our lives.

Titles labeled Certified Fresh™ mean they have a Tomatometer score that's in the top 10% of anime that I've watched. The Tomatometer (ala Rotten Tomatoes) is calculated by the percentage of MAL users who have rated an anime an 8/10 or higher. See Google Sheet for more information: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1661rTFjlvMFahJh5jwqScDe5BiysSU0Vav7NjeGlkPc/

animes about productions and creations of media content (Mangas, Animes, Movies, etc.)

Little insight into anime and manga industry.

Sometimes in large and very realistic way, sometimes smaller and less realistic.

A list of films that puts cinematography and timed auditory/musical cues to the forefront, creating "movie magic" moments in the way they're shot, composed, framed, scored, edited etc. Gorgeous set design. Crafted with finesse. More than just silver-screen placeholders.

Anime with girls who are: weridos, freaks, bitches, a bit gay, terrible, or all of the above.

Need I say more.

Standalone movies from 2020-Present.
Some prequel movies are included: Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and Fruits Basket: Prelude.

A list of anime commented/analyzed by the youtuber Bayfond. There is a playlist in his channel compiling the videos where he talks about them and the order displayed in that playlist is the one being taken into account here, I'll try to keep this list updated to his future uploads. https://www.youtube.com/@bayfond/featured (link to his channel)
He has also talked about the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off anime twice, but it isn’t in the MAL database as of the last update to this stack.
