the characters in these flicks have got
big eyes fast moves and when they want
they can really kick ass welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 anime
movies of all time number 10 Porco Rosso
this exciting adventure is the creation
of Hayao Miyazaki considered by many to
be the king of anime and it tells the
tale of an ex world war 1 fighter pilot
slash bounty hunter in many ways the
hero is your typical dashing brave
slightly cynical hero it just so happens
that he looks like a pig now that is
going to cost you in true miyazaki style
moments of great beauty and tenderness
are juxtaposed with electrifying
excitement making for a fantastical good
time care to shut them up I told you we
should not take any more the mushy goo
palms are sending out their afternoon
spores number 9 Zika of the valley of
the wind also brought to you by miyazaki
this post-apocalyptic story is
substantially different from traditional
anime war has devastated the earth
creating a jungle full of mutated
creatures and leaving few areas
habitable for humans know its colors our
health our wise title heroine leads a
tribe of people that wants nothing more
than to live in peace but that desire is
endangered when other groups threaten
war on the mutants and she must use all
her skills and resources to restore
harmony number 8 perfect blue if Alfred
Hitchcock and David Lynch collaborated
on an animated film the result might be
something like this directed by Satoshi
Cohn this bizarre thriller follows a
former pop singer who has changed her
career path and image by starring in a
TV series and finds herself threatened
by a stalker addressing issues of
identity in the Internet age the film
absorbs you from the first frame and
never lets go
we have another clue number seven
Princess Mononoke when it was released
this Miyazaki movie grossed an
astounding 150 million dollars in seven
months in Japan making it the most
successful Japanese film to that point
and it’s easy to see why
Princess Mononoke story of mystical
animal God’s battling medieval humans is
an ecological epic that never skimp on
the action and as usual there’s the
stunning animation that is the hallmark
of a Miyazaki film number six Cowboy
Bebop the movie there’s plenty of
shoot-’em-ups but few Stetson hats in
this 2001 big-screen adaptation of the
beloved anime series these Cowboys are
futuristic interplanetary travelers and
they’re tracking down a mass murderer
before he can carry out his next evil
plan
the plot is pretty standard but the
characters dialogue and detailed yet
fluid animation are anything but serial
number five spirited away released in
2001 Miyazaki spirited away became the
first anime to win the Oscar for best
animated film beating Hollywood
blockbusters like ice age and lilo and
Stitch and it’s no wonder it’s a lost
little girl story replete with
fascinating and grotesque characters
lessons and learning self-assurance and
gorgeous cgi enhanced animation that
adds up to a spirited package you can’t
turn away from
number four ghost in the shell’ what is
human what is real and which applies to
a cyborg cop you’re treated like other
humans so stop with the angst but that’s
just it that’s the only thing that makes
me feel human the way I’m treated deep
themes lie underneath the sci-fi
adventure surface of this movie in which
nothing is exactly what it seems and the
puppet master runs the show
director mimoto oh she’s distinctive
personal touch is evident even amid the
mind-boggling technological designs and
action sequences that inspire the makers
of the Matrix
number three grave of the fireflies this
seesaw Takahata masterpiece is one of
the most heart-rending and moving
depictions of the effects of war on
ordinary people ever put to film another
one released in 1988
it follows 14-year old SATA and his
little sister during the final days of
World War two orphaned and alone they
attempt to survive in a world that has
no use for them few films of any kind
are so powerful number two my neighbor
totoro Miyazaki’s 1988 masterwork is
that rare movie that truly deserves to
be called both joyous and whimsical and
it accomplishes this while still
containing scenes that pack a punch here
is this maze it’s not hers
Oh superbly animated and delicate
without being fragile my neighbor totoro
creates a fantasy world of innocence and
charm that will captivate even the most
cynical with its mystical forest world
and adorable spirits
either party
number one Akira
generally considered the film that
brought animate to the attention of the
worldwide audience 1988 akira is filled
with the vibrant color visual
stylization and kinetic energy that
define the genre for so many director
katsuhito Otomo captures raw energy and
places it front and center creating a
cyberpunk field film that is brash and
at times harsh but never less than
enthralling
post-apocalyptic dystopias were never so
much fun
