We really need both foreign and animated recommendation lists NOT made by awful god damn anime fans. Anime fans have the most god awful taste in everything, and the attention span of god fish. They actually do japanese animation a disservice by only focusing on shit literally aimed at 11 year olds.

I doubt it's better than Takahata's masterpiece Omoide Poroporo. But i've not seen it yet, it keeps slipping by me because it's a TV movie and i rarely include TV movies in my search when i'm looking for shit to watch on IMDB.

It's getting to the point where they're bitching about Akira and Ghost in the Shell as being boring, when those were the gold standards for the anime boom of the 90s. When it comes to pacing, these are pretty god damn standard for real ass films, especially European films and american films before 2000.

I fully expect the "classic" anime to be seen as dated, boring, tripe, within only a few years, where a new generation who grew up on 00s shounen series take over and all the "best anime films" list get replaced with One Piece shit.

Don't let them ever tell you there was never an art shift in anime. There used to be more variation, with some having more realistic designs, and adults (especially adult women) could look like actual adult women.

Looks exactly like 2026 isekai slop. Unc needs better glasses.

I love how clumsy this sounds! Its just like talking to your crush!

nah, Grave of the Fireflies and Pom Poko are better.

this one is very very very underrated though, good work son.

Watched Whisper of the heart recently and I thought it was kind of dull.

reminds me of the nekocat temple girl manga. except she's a college dropout or something. and the mangaka drew doujins of her getting fucked by old men for money.

It's half the reason i watch anime from the 70s, 80s and 90s almost exclusively.
The art was just better.

It's just awful now.

Yup, is the best one, funny thing it was a TV film with a C team. This, Maison Ikkoku: Kanketsuhen and Kimagure the movie are his best films in my opinion. I wish he did more stuff like this. He also directed other interesting stuff like Twin Spika, a really good tv show. Sadly all his other stuff is just commercial slop

Go back to /a/

bump

i liked the nuanced character writing
it seems quite a bit is lost in translation with this one, class dynamics and stuff, as a brit I wonder if some of this stuff is harder to catch for americans

Princess Kaguya is the best.
Spirited Away is also incredible (I don't care if it's popular, sometimes it's for a good reason)

Worst you mean, even worse than goro's computer generated one
