The contents of this movie fall under the spoiler territory so I won’t be mentioning too much of them here. However, just for a general understanding, this movie is insane. The story focuses on the world-building of the entire anime and works its way through it.

 

Moreover, as the movie progresses, we get to experience some heart-wrenching moments that make this 2-hour long movie, a journey of its own. With such a beautiful presentation and emotional weight, this anime movie is too good to skip. And you can’t beat that.

7. Kizumonogatari III: Reiketsu-hen

 

 

 

This is the third and final movie from the Kizumonogatari segment of the Monogatari series. The reason why this one ranks so high is that it balances the contents of both the previous instalments. It has an amazing story like the first part and brilliant action like the second part.

 

This is what makes this anime so much more engaging and captivating for anyone and everyone. Plus, this is also a considerable conclusion for the Kizumonogatari franchise and Shinobu’s story. Therefore, this is a feast for Shinobu fans all around the globe.

A movie from the Fate franchise. The reason why this one manages to rank so high is that it has an insane story and action to support itself. The story focuses on The Fifth Holy Grail War which has gone way out of hand for anyone and everyone to handle.

 

And as this story progresses, things seem to take some serious turns as well. Moreover, the animation specifically makes this so much more engaging and captivating that this manages to annihilate its competition without breaking a sweat.

 

 

10. Kimetsu no Yaiba Movie: Mugen Ressha-hen

 

 

 

I don’t think this movie needs any introduction. The literal record-breaking monster film, Mugen Train. This movie, for the selected few who don’t know, is a continuation of the Demon Slayer series and dives into the happenings of a train.

 

The outstanding feature of this movie is its unreal animation and action choreography. Studio Ufotable portrays why they are in a league of their own with this movie. And that is what makes this movie so much more remarkable. The sheer hype and fun that these 2 hours offers are just too good to be true.

 

 

11. Kaguya-sama: Love Is War – The First Kiss That Never Ends

 

 

In Kaguya-sama: Love Is War – The First Kiss That Never Ends film released on December 17, 2022, director Mamoru Hatakeyama and A-1 Pictures bring to life the captivating narrative from Aka Akasaka’s manga.

12. Made in Abyss Movie 3: Fukaki Tamashii no Reimei

 

 

 

This movie from the Made In Abyss franchise is a continuation of its predecessors. It dives into the fifth layer of the abyss and there, our main cast comes across what is said to be the Sea of Corpses. Moreover, every step that they take in this layer results in them becoming weaker and weaker.

 

Things start to get darker and darker and every move makes the world and their life, more and more hopeless. How will our cast make it out alive? Well, that’s the mystery that is solved within the time duration of this brilliant movie.

 

And trust me, this is the best you can get from Made In Abyss.

 

 

13. Mononoke Hime

 

 

 

Movies that give a social message are the best for the media. And so, Mononoke Home is standing so high on this list. This movie talks about a man who wishes to find a cure for a curse. And in the search, he ends up in an area where a battle between two leaders is going on.

 

At one end, we have someone who wishes to destroy the forests. And on the other end, we have those who wish to save the forests. Princess San will be the savior of the forests. And using this story, the movie wishes to impart awareness about deforestation and the usefulness of plants and animals.

 

Creative, right?

 

 

14. Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time

 

 

 

It is not all that hard to realize how messed up these Evangelion movies are. After all, just look at the titles. These titles are good enough to give you an idea as to why these movies are considered to be so complex in the medium.

 

The series dives into the realm of Evangelion, this time, focusing a lot more on the truth of this world and its happenings that define the course of action for our main cast. This is a rather new movie that takes small details from its previous installments and manages to create a cocktail that is beyond tasty but not that easily digestible.

 

 

15. Howl no Ugoku Shiro

 

 

 

Studio Ghibli never disappoints with its quality. And Howl’s Moving Castle is an example of the finest creations of the studio. The show talks about a girl named Sophia who gets stigmatized by the Witch and is now supposed to reach Howl’s castle to find a cure.

 

However, let’s just say that reaching Howl’s castle is no joke. And staying in Howl’s castle is nothing less than a mental break. Therefore, this entire experience will shape your entertainment-craving bug forever. And so, this movie will become one of your all-time favorites in the medium.

 

 

16. Seishun Buta Yarou wa Yumemiru Shoujo no Yume wo Minai

 

 

 

I am a massive, MASSIVE, Bunny Girl Senpai fan. So seeing this movie rank so high on this list makes me quite happy. It focuses on Shouko Makinohara and her puberty syndrome which is much different than the ones we have seen so far.

 

Sakura, just as always, tries his best to solve the issue. However, in the process, he might end up losing some close ones in his life. And that is why this movie is so heart-touching. The way it manages to grasp the emotions and make you cry is just so good that we can’t help but love this movie as hardcore fans of the series.

 

 

17. Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu

 

 

 

The Haruhi Suzumiya franchise has what is considered to be one of the best anime movies ever created. And this is the piece I am talking about. It focuses on the disappearance of Haruhi from the SOS Brigade and a sudden change of events in the lives of the members.

 

Everything collapses. No one knows the SOS Brigade now, Haruhi is gone and no one remembers her and even more problems have arrived within the story. How will our characters deal with these problems shortly? Well, that’s what this movie tells us.

 

And the way it tells that to us is just mind-blowing.

 

 

18. Mushishi Zoku Shou: Suzu no Shizuku

 

 

 

Mushishi is one of the most tranquil anime series you will ever experience. It is just a story about a man who is traveling with the intent of finding the truth about Mushi. He is a Mushishi, a person who tries to figure out the reason for the existence of Mushi.

 

And on his journey, he gets to have some of the most unique, simple, yet grasping experiences that we can imagine. All in all, this man is going to have a time of his life trying to know the roots of Mushi.

 

And this movie dives deep into the same. Mushishi fans should watch this movie at all costs.

 

 

19. Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki

 

 

 

This is another heartwarming story of a single mother trying to raise two beautiful children. Unfortunately, those children are no simple beings. They are wolves. This lady married the final blood-holder of the werewolf family. And now, his children will carry on the torch that needs to be carried on.

 

However, it wouldn’t take an expert to realize that raising two children who can transform into wolves in a general environment is not a simple task. And so, the lady tries her level best to give these children the best life they can have while also saving them from the outside.

 

The anime is full of ups and downs which makes the viewers hooked to the series. It has a lot of emotional scenes and a dense storyline.

 

 

20. Kizumonogatari II: Nekketsu-hen

 

 

 

Kizumonogatari movies are everywhere. And this is no surprise considering that these movies are said to be some of the best installments from the Monogatari series. Don’t ask why. Just watch the movie and you will know. It talks about our boy Araragi, trying to save Shinobu.

 

However, in the process, he will be facing some lethal villains that can kill him in an instant. As a result, Kizumonogatari manages to grasp the other person’s attention and then manipulate it the way it wants to. And as unique as it may sound, this is exactly how it goes.

22. Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai

 

 

 

The English title for this movie is I want to eat your pancreas. And those who haven’t watched the movie yet will think that this title is ridiculous. However, those who have watched the movie know how fitting this title is.

 

The story talks about a girl named Sakura who is suffering from pancreatic disease and is going to die soon. When she meets our lifeless main character, she starts to live her last moments with her. And in these last moments, she might have found her love of life as well.

 

That’s what this movie talks about. Emotional, right?

 

 

23. Fate/stay night Movie: Heaven’s Feel – II. Lost Butterfly

 

 

 

Fate Series is just so impressive from every angle that you can’t help but love it so much. This movie from the Fate franchise specifically will help you realize how insane the story can get for this work.

 

The fights and the action are just so good that you can’t help but love it as a fan. It still focuses on the Holy Grail War and its aftermath altogether. However, this war is going to take some serious turns soon enough.

 

And so, the story will take some serious turns as well. Without a doubt, a must-watch for you and me.

 

 

24. Kara no Kyoukai 5: Mujun Rasen

 

 

 

This instalment from the Kara No Kyoukai series deals with a police case and acts that result in sinister happenings in the said realm. Therefore, this movie gets a lot of love and appreciation from the fans of Kara No Kyoukai as it is heavy with feelings, darkness, and a lot more story than you would expect.

 

Altogether, this anime movie is just one that you wouldn’t wanna miss out on. And for the fans of this series specifically, this movie is just a must-watch for sure.

 

 

25. Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion

 

 

 

The End Of Evangelion is one of the best installments from the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. And this is because it gives a completely new perspective towards the end of the show. It is all about the depths and messages that this show offers that makes it so impressive and admirable.

 

Moreover, the movie just gets into the gory symbolism of the show that allows them to touch the hearts of all the fans who love their classic Eva. Plus, this movie was fairly new for its time so it also makes it even more admirable.

 

 

26. Gintama Movie 1: Shinyaku Benizakura-hen

 

 

 

A Gintama movie. This shouldn’t come as any surprise if you think about it. Gintama is incredible. And we all know that. However, deep down, we also know that Gintama has a lot of valuable instalments and side stories as well.

 

And this movie just goes on to explain the same. The movie dives into the typical Gintama setting with lots of fun and humor. However, just like always, it also deals with some action and drama making it another impressive instalment from the franchise.

 

 

27. Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Movie

 

 

This movie hasn’t been brought to the general public yet. Yup, it is still far from being released outside of Japan. However, there’s no denying that when it does, it will annihilate the box office without breaking a sweat. The Jujutsu Kaisen series is said to be a one-of-a-kind new-gen anime where the story is much darker than ever before.

 

And the first season did a pretty good job of laying the foundation. However, this movie just raised the bar so much more. And the main character and his backstory in this movie will also pack a punch for all the fans around the globe.

 

 

28. Perfect Blue

 

 

 

The Perfect Blue is a masterclass for anyone who wishes for some exceptional work from the medium. It dives into the life of a celebrity who has a stalker. And that stalker won’t leave this celebrity at any cost. This might sound simple at first.

 

However, this stalker takes some of the most groundbreaking steps for our celebrity in the movie. And soon enough, his actions result in misery and chaos in the life of this celebrity. This is what this movie deals with. Some unique and impressively structured narratives.

 

Do you think it’s up to your alley? Then give it a go!

 

 

29. Josee to Tora to Sakana-tachi

 

 

 

This movie will make you feel full of wholesomeness and amazingness. It’s about love. But not regular love. It’s about love that happens by accident. And as time goes on, it grows stronger and stronger. Our characters Kumiko and Tsuneo, have an interesting story as to how they first meet.

 

And soon enough, this couple becomes more impressionable to us than we could have ever imagined. They are just so good that our eyes will be filled with tears looking at them. That’s what Jose is all about. It’s a wholesome story good enough to make an old man cry.

 

 

30. Hotaru no Haka

 

 

 

If you haven’t cried in your life yet, this movie is a great opportunity. Because oh my God, it is just so sad. Hotaru No Haka also known as Grave Of The Fireflies is an incredible movie created for highlighting the aftermath of the war in Japan.

 

It talks about siblings who lost their families, their houses, and everything because of the war. And now, they are on the streets. They are walking along, hungry and thirsty, searching for survival. And on this walk, they get to know that the most humble people they knew turned their back on them instantly.

 

This is how deep this brilliant movie is. Graves Of The Fireflies is a type of anime that will get stuck in your mind and will make you cry and think about the world in a different way.

 

 

31. Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! Movie: Kurenai Densetsu

 

 

 

The KonoSuba series has always been a beloved show for anyone and everyone who desires some incredible humor. And that’s what the movie from the franchise also has to offer. However, to add some spice to the contents of the show, the movie adds a lot more to it.

 

One of these secret ingredients is love and chemistry which may seem a bit out of place at first. However, soon enough, the movie makes that romantic connection, a lot more valuable and admirable. And this romantic situation stands between our characters Kazuma and Megumi.

 

 

32. Zoku Owarimonogatari

 

 

 

This is a rather new installment from the Monogatari series. The movie may seem like a short series at first but has been listed as a movie so we can’t question it. It deals with the graduation ceremony of our boy Araragi and the end of his incredible yet one-of-a-kind experience with creatures from the other realms.

 

All good things must come to an end. And so, there might very well be an end to their relationships as well. However, what will be the end of this unreal story? However, will Araragi have a conclusion with such brilliant beings?

 

And that is the question that this movie wishes to answer.

 

 

33. Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata Fine

 

 

 

This is an unknown movie for a lot of anime fans out there. However, trust me when I say this, it is a lot better than what you would have imagined. Saenai Heroine is a Comedy Romance movie created by one of my favourite studios of all time, Cloverworks.

 

The story talks about a group of people making a game as their passion. However, when you work in a team, there are a lot of things you need to take care of. These include being able to live a romantic life.

 

And that’s exactly what this movie deals with. After all, we don’t get such an impressive harem these days. So enjoy it while you can.

 

 

34. Steins; Gate Movie: Fuka Ryouiki no Déjà vu

 

 

 

I have always been a massive fan of the Steins Gate series. For me, it is one of the most ingenious things to ever exist. And this movie just proves why all of the love and admiration for Steins Gate is so worth it.

 

The movie talks about the aftermath of events that took place in Steins Gate and so, the movie does a great job at explaining why time travel is a terrible idea. It is because of this complex natural yet beautiful presentation that Steins Gate managed to become as successful as it is right now.

 

And the movie is a must-watch for all the fans out there.

 

 

35. Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Movie 3: Hangyaku no Monogatari

 

 

 

The Madoka Magica series is just too good to be settled into one movie. And this one is just a continuation.

 

The movie deals with the same characters and storyline as its prequel. However, significant progression takes place in the narrative which explains why this place and this realm of the Madoka Magica series is so impressive. Your emotions will ride a rollercoaster while watching this movie.

 

And you can bet a million on that for sure.

 

 

36. Gintama: Yorinuki Gintama-san on Theater 2D

 

 

 

The title itself will be good enough to prove why it is a true Gintama movie. After all, this show is known for being a troll. This movie tells us about the normal Gintama stuff. You know, you have your comedy, some drama, and amazing action.

 

This movie just does that but a bit better. And that’s what makes this such an incredible watch for anyone. However, if you are planning to watch this movie, make sure that you do so after watching the original series.

 

The character comedy will become even more impactful once you do that. Otherwise, you might miss out on some fun.

 

 

37. Natsume Yuujinchou Movie: Utsusemi ni Musubu

 

 

 

This entire franchise stands as one of the most admired slice-of-life series of all time. Yeah, that’s how insane this show is. And the movie just steps up the game for the show. It deals with our boy Takashi Natsume who has to deal with ghosts, including his favorable ghost Madara.

 

And this man, who has the book of these ghosts, is going to have an experience of his life with these supernatural beings. Moreover, this movie just gets a step ahead and further elaborates on the peaceful yet stressful life our boy Takashi has to live.

 

And that is why this movie is here on the list.

 

 

38. Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou

 

 

 

Maquia. A cry fest, to say the least. This movie dives deep into the reality of love. Love is not about cuddling or being together. Love is about being selfless and giving up on yourself just to see your better half smile.

 

And this movie depicts the above-mentioned situation in an amazing metaphor. Think of it in this way, the show depicts what true love is with the example of a mother who just can’t die and a son who wasn’t supposed to be where he is.

 

However, as the turn of events takes place, this movie becomes a story that most of you will remember forever and ever. And that’s a fact.

 

 

39. Bubble 

 

 

Half a decade ago, the world experienced an extraordinary occurrence—gravity-defying bubbles descended upon the earth, endowed with unknown powers.

 

Among the chaos, Tokyo became the epicentre, trapped within a colossal bubble after a mysterious explosion.

 

The former capital of Japan, now deemed a forbidden zone, succumbed to a sea of altered gravity, causing its inhabitants to abandon the city.

 

Left behind, orphaned children reside unlawfully, engaging in risky parkour battles amidst the dilapidated remnants of Tokyo’s structures.

 

Hibiki, an exceptional participant capable of leaping between bubbles, hears cryptic sounds emanating from Tokyo Tower.

 

Driven by curiosity, he embarks on a quest, unaware that his encounter with an enigmatic girl named Uta will unravel the secrets entwined with the cataclysmic event that forever reshaped their world.

 

 

40. Violet Evergarden Gaiden: Eien to Jidou Shuki Ningyou

 

 

 

Violet Evergarden is one of the most gorgeous pieces of work in recent anime. And this movie is just a step up from the typical beauty of this series. The show talks about a royal girl named Isabella who wishes to write a letter to Taylor, another soulmate of Isabella.

 

However, this soulmate is not a lover. She is the sister of Isabella and that is what makes this segment so beautiful. Violet, just like always, will prove her insane standards by writing some of the most beautiful letters in existence.

 

And this Royal girl will get to experience what her sister did all this while. A beautiful story by a beautiful franchise.

 

 

41. Cowboy Bebop: Tengoku no Tobira

 

 

 

If you are one of the new-gen anime fans who watched Cowboy Bebop in chronological order then this movie might seem out of place for you. However, if you are a hardcore fan of this series, you wouldn’t mind it anyway.

 

This is a movie from the classic series that deals with all the stuff you might assume it to deal with. And it does so in the same way as you want it to deal with. Our boy Spike is on his way to dealing with the villain for this arc.

 

However, for him to do that, he would require a lot more effort and teamwork from Faye and Jet. This is what this movie is all about.

 

 

42. Kizumonogatari I: Tekketsu-hen

 

 

 

The Kizumonogatari movies deal with our boy Araragi, trying his best to get a cure for himself. And in the process, he ends up meeting an apparition named Shinobu. Now Shinobu needs help and Araragi is someone who wouldn’t hold back from doing it.

 

The problem is that saving Shinobu isn’t going to be a simple task. After all, saving a monster like her means dealing with Monsters like her. And so, our boy Araragi goes head to head against those who are not what we see in the norm.

 

And that experience changes the game for him forever. This is what the movie deals with.

 

 

43. Kaze no Tani no Nausicaä

 

 

 

This movie has a lot of influence on the anime industry. And it is all thanks to the lessons that it provides. In a way, it deals with the world war setting and explains the reasons why War is never an option.

 

Therefore, the true essence of this movie has been lost since we are not living in an age where world war can happen. Oh, wait. Anyway, the movie deals with a predicament taking place in the realm of the series, and our main cast tries to take care of the problem.

 

However, what makes it so good is the way every character deals with the story. And that’s why this movie is so here on this list.

 

 

44. Suzume 

 

 

While on her way to school, Suzume Iwato encounters Souta Munakata, who is in search of abandoned places.

 

Intrigued, she leads him to a nearby ruin and decides to explore it herself.

 

Inside, she discovers a door that reveals a surreal universe she can observe but not enter.

 

A peculiar stone she finds transforms into a cat-like creature and scurries away. Unbeknownst to Suzume, leaving the door open has unleashed a perilous consequence.

 

The release of the “keystone” enables malevolent forces to escape and wreak havoc throughout Japan.

 

Determined to rectify her mistake, Suzume teams up with Souta, who is devoted to preventing the proliferation of evil, in a race against time to locate and seal all open doors before the nation faces destruction.

 

 

45. K-On! Movie

 

 

 

K-On is one of the most wholesome shows you can watch in the medium. On paper, the idea of cute girls playing music might not seem that appealing. However, when you watch this show, and this movie as well, you will realize that the sheer tranquillity in an anime can be good enough to make you fall in love with the show.

 

The Light Music Club is on the verge of disbanding in the current movie. And that makes every moment they spend together more and more interesting and memorable. It would be great if you became a part of that memorable experience.

 

 

46. Made in Abyss Movie 2: Hourou Suru Tasogare

 

 

 

Made in Abyss is said to be the Madoka Magica of this generation. And anyone who has watched both of the franchises will know why it is said that way. Made in Abyss talks about the depths of an Abyss which leads to curiosity.

 

However, this curiosity will be much more than what you are imagining. It gets dark, and darker with every step. And that’s how this story becomes so dark that it will break you from the inside. This movie specifically is at the top of the Made in Abyss insanity.

 

And that is why this show is so freaking insane. Without a doubt, one of the best from the new generation.

 

 

47. Tenki no Ko

 

 

 

This movie is one of the most popular ones in the entire world. And I don’t think anyone can deny that, right? Tenki No Ko, also known as, Weathering With You, is one the most recognized movies of all time.

 

And this is all because of its storytelling. It dives deep into the greatness of anime as a medium by creating havoc in the world. Moreover, this is a romance story which explains why people would feel so inclined to watch it as well.

 

With amazingly written characters like Hodaka Morishima and Hina Amano, the story offers an incredible experience for its viewers.

 

 

48. Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance

 

 

 

The Evangelion franchise has a lot of content to offer to its fans. This includes some amazing action, a mind-blowing storyline, and deep messages. However, the best attribute of the franchise is its complex nature. This movie enhances the complexity of the series and makes it much more engaging and memorable.

 

Think of it in this way, the more confusing it is, the more you remember it. And that is what makes this movie so good for fans all around the globe. For hardcore Neon Genesis Evangelion fans, this movie is a must-watch.

 

 

49. Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Movie 2: Eien no Monogatari

 

 

 

The Madoka Magica series is, without a doubt, one of the most insane series to ever come out. The show is much different than our typical magical girl’s show and has some interesting turns being taken into them. Moreover, the series also portrays some amazing feats with this movie as it takes its turn of events in the same way as the typical Madoka Magica episode.

 

However, let’s just say that the emotions are going to be much stronger and more impactful. Therefore, if you are a fan of Madoka Magica, this movie might very well be your favorite forever.

 

 

50. Hotarubi no Mori e

 

 

 

People who are heavily into AMVs and stuff would know that Hotarubi no Mori e is a gem. And that’s mainly because this movie has the most-watched AMV of all time. Therefore, this movie is already very popular. It is a romance movie that talks about love between two individuals.

 

One of them happens to wear a mask all the time. And as the show progresses, this love story, a rather blind love story, goes in different directions and so, they both have their way around the essence of admiration.

 

And that is just one of the many reasons why this movie is so good.
