Ranking The Best Anime Movies of All Time

Shimokawa Oten developed a five-minute chalk-drawn video in the early twentieth century, which launched the profitable animation business in Japan. In the decades that followed, the medium expanded gradually, with a peak during World War II. The Japanese government utilized anime for propaganda and it came to be acknowledged as a component of the country’s cultural identity, both at home and abroad. The beautiful world of anime may often seem a bit impenetrable to novices, with so much to choose from various genres. The meticulous attention to detail and the blend of drama, action, romance, and other genres truly distinguishes them as a work of art. Here, we have listed the anime movies you cannot miss.
