Some Anime Films That I Love

Ladies and gents we anime fans talk alot about our favorite shows but for some reason when it comes to movies we never mention them well now I thought i'd do something a tad bit different and tell you some of my personal favorite anime films.

Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms

Out of all the films featured here this is the most recent film to come out and I have to say that it is simply stunning and it's a film where I can see my self going to get the DVD. That's how I know that a film is good so believe all the hype behind this film because it truly is worth it in my eyes.

In This Corner Of The World

Like a lot of the films featured in this post this is a film that has made me cry but to me this film is so much more then that. It's a film about heartbreak and finding the strength to survive at a time where that was impossible heck this film is so good i've not only seen the subbed version of the film but i've also seen the dubbed version of the film and I own it on DVD.

The Garden Of Words

Guys i'm going to let you know right now your going to be seeing alot of Makoto Shinkai's films on this list because the guy is mad talented. For now tho let's talk about what I think is his worst film which is saying something because the film is still really good there's really no more praise I can give this film but if your a fan of the director then you should check this out.

Mary And The Witch's Flower

The first film for any studio is always a hard thing because your film is not guaranteed to make any money. I think tho that Studio Ponoc's first film is truly something to behold I think that Hiromasa Yonebayashi and his team are truly talented and I believe that at some point ponoc could be on the same level as Studio Ghibli or Madhouse.

Your Name

Yup this film again lets face it guys the second you saw the name of this post you knew that at some point this film was going to making an appearance. Now I don't praise it to the high heavens like everyone else does and that's because by the time I got round to watching it the film had been hyped to hell. So no matter how good the film was it was always going to fail because the film was so hyped up in my mind it was this perfect film and yet when I saw it and found out it wasn't that it was shocking to me but it is still a great film.

5 Centimeters per Second

This for me is the best film that Makoto Shinkai has made it has everything that made Your Name the great film that it is and then some. I first saw this film a few years ago and it made me cry like crazy and I still choke up everytime I watch it that's how good it is there really is nothing more I can say about the film because it;s that good.

A Silent Voice

This film came out around the same time as Your Name and sadly it got really overshadowed by that film and that to me is a damn shame because this film is so worth watching.This is the only film in this post where i've read some of the manga before hand and the manga had me in tears I had no idea that manga could do that to a person. The film also had the exact same effect on me and it was in the exact same spot.

Ghost In The Shell

I cannot go on enough about how good this film is it truly is one of the best anime ever made in my opinion. Heck this film is so good that hollywood made a terrible live action version and that's how you know that a film is good. This film is so freaking iconic that to me you cannot call your self a die hard anime fan unless you've seen this film you don't have to have liked it you just have to have seen it.

Rating Some of Makoto Shinkai's Films From Great To Masterful

Makoto Shinkai is one of the best upcoming anime directors around he only has five films to his credit and he's already being called the next miyazaki which by the way is huge freaking shoes to fill and so instead of rating his films from worst to best I thought i'd rate them from great to Masterful because honestly all of his films are great so here we go.

Journey to Agartha aka Children Who Chase Lost Voices

I know that alot of people know this film as Children Who Chase Lost Voices but over here in the UK it was released as Journey to Agartha so that's what i'm calling it honestly the only real issue I had with this film is the fact that goes on for far far far to long but apart from that it's a great film to watch and one that I happily own on DVD.

The Garden Of Words

Now i'll admit that I was going to review this film before it turned into this post but while this film is indeed great there are a few issues I have with it 1) the story never gets resolved yeah the film just ends with no real conclusion and 2) nothing really interesting happens at all this might be way this film is only forty five minuets but nothing really interesting happens at all but still I would take all of that over having a film that feel boring.

Your Name

I bet alot of you right now are wondering why this film isn't at the top well that's because I think there's a film better then this one and that's not a knock about this film infact it's as close to perfect as a film can get but since I watched the film months after everyone else the hype for this film was so huge that no matter how good the film was it was always going to fail in my head because the fans made it out to be the next best thing in the history of the world.

5 Centimeters per Second

Yes this is the film that I honestly think is better then Your Name it's Shinakis second film and it relly is so good if your a shinkai fan then I highly recommend you check out this film because alot of the themes that are present in Your Name were in this film it has a great story that we can all relate to , fantastic animation and the dub is actually freaking great and like Journey To Agartha and Your Name I also own this film on DVD and I try to watch it at least once or twice a year.
