Japanese anime movies that you must watch in your lifetime

1. "Spirited Away"

Miyazaki Hayao's world-renowned Japanese animated film, its excellence has caused major authoritative film awards to compete for the "Best Animated Film" "Give it a gift." On the IMDb Top 250 global best films list, it ranks 29th and is the highest-ranked animated feature film. Hayao Miyazaki is not as fancy as Disney, and he is even a little behind the times. Until 2005, he insisted on using hand painting instead of computer drawing to complete his cartoons. But he knows how a cartoon, or a movie, can impress others. Therefore, the image painted by Hayao Miyazaki is an individual, not an unconscious cartoon image.

2. "Arrietty the Borrower"

Ghibli's feature-length animation adaptation of British children's literature. Adhering to the tradition of Ghibli, it is simple and full of childishness, and inadvertently tells big and deep themes. Through the miniature people who are born from borrowed objects, the sense of "owning everything for ourselves" that we take for granted has been questioned... Although the film failed to reach the level of "Spirited Away", "Princess Mononoke", "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" "Such a height, but the advantages of Ghibli animation are all reflected in this film.

3. "5 Centimeters per Second"

Exquisite background, bright colors, excellent light and other iconic features of Xin Haicheng. For Makoto Shinkai, being based on reality and transcending reality is the greatest magic power of animation as a medium. In terms of story, there is actually nothing new, but Makoto Xinkai’s advantage is the graphics. "Drawing like a photo" is something that goes against the rules of painting, but in an industrial assembly line, quickly drawing a photo-like background, paired with music and lens switching, can easily create a sense of distance. Feeling - "like" a photo rather than "being" a photo, it creates another kind of dreamy feeling.

4. "Wolf's Children Rain and Snow"

It is regarded as a masterpiece of Mamoru Hosoda's animation that will take up the banner of Japanese animated films after Hayao Miyazaki. The main focus of the story is the parent-child relationship, describing the 12-year story of a 19-year-old female college student, Hua, who fell in love with a wolf boy, gave birth to a pair of cute wolf siblings, and then raised them. "It can be said that this work has created a new era. However, as the author, the director may not have realized that in the process of pursuing techniques, such a work was naturally formed."

5. "The Wind Rises" ""

The final work of director Hayao Miyazaki. Since then, Hayao Miyazaki has retired. Of course, the old man still couldn't bear the loneliness and returned to the world again. Hayao Miyazaki not only vividly demonstrated his love and obsession for airplanes, but also used his staggering imagination to create a dreamlike and colorful world when the protagonists meet. Film critics and media in South Korea who have watched the film praised the film. The Chosun Ilbo said that "The Wind Rises" has "the same ability to calm people as Hayao Miyazaki himself."
