What anime (Japanese animation) film moved you?

Post by Kratika Joshi »

I would love some anime movie recommendations. I would recommend everyone to watch Satoshi Kon's work like Perfect Blue, Paprika, Millennium Actress etc. They are such a good blend of fiction and reality. A surreal experience. Kon was one the best out there in using the strengths of the animation medium. Let me know what's your favourite and why!

silent voice, It's always one of the first recommendation for anime movies that would make you cry but for good reason. I love the concept and it actually made me cry which isn't that surprising.

Naruto was the first anime I watched and I wasn't disappointed but quite the opposite. This anime is hilarious and very entertaining, they were some times I even cried while watching Naruto. The anime does not only focus on battles and combat, it teaches us the importance of having parents.

Must agree with this. Number one recommendation for this exact category. Or you can try Doraemon. Every single Doraemon movie definitely invites onion choppers. I haven't seen that many anime lately, though. Some Makoto Shinkai's or Ghibli always seem both aesthetic and melancholic, so maybe you can check which ones you haven't watched and try them.

I wholeheartedly agree with you! Silent Voice had me in tears long after I had watched it. Thanks for the recommendation, I totally should rewatch it!

Yes! Naruto by all means is one of the classics that will never die. There is so much to uncover and learn from this single anime. This is the reason it stays on top of the anime watchlist for many people.

Truly! Ghibli movies always have a way to move you without one even realizing so. Great recommendations! Thank you!
