Historical anime set in the Hein period + a few that feature Abe no Senmei.

The Heian era marked the height of Japan’s initial imperial aristocracy. With a strong focus on the arts, poetry, and literature; it cultivated the rise of samurai skilled in both aesthetics and battle. The Heian period essentially set the stage for the eventual shogunate and feudal period. Although seen as a rather peaceful era, it was actually rife with not all-out battles, but rather intrigue and power grabs behinds the scenes by the country’s most powerful and influential families; namely the Fujiwara, Genji (Minamoto), and Heike (Taira) clans.

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.

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.

The 100 Best Anime Movies is a book created by Álvaro López Martín and David Heredia Pitarch, which seeks to review those films in the history of anime that they consider the best, thus generating a complete guide to those works that are a must-see for those who are starting in the world of anime cinema as well as those who were already there.

Personally, although I would add some and remove others, I can certainly say that it is a fairly complete list and that it could be useful for someone who is interested in entering this fascinating world.
