Kurenai no Buta

The Animation Film Award (アニメーション映画賞) is an award given to the best animated feature film at the Mainichi Film Awards. The award was established to reward large scale cinematic animation, enabling the Oofuji Noburou Award to focus on shorter pieces. This award was first presented in 1989 for Kiki's Delivery Service by Hayao Miyazaki.

Classic 20th-century series and films that most old-school otaku have heard of and many older fans will cite as the reason they became a life-long weeb in the first place. Some have gotten sequels or modern reboots, while others have been relegated to the past and stand alone as fondly-remembered products of their time. If you want to take a journey through anime history, these shows are the place to start!

Additional info as requested by MAL staff:

Definition of classic: "A work of art of recognized and established value."

Criteria for this list: Were popular or well-known at some point during the 20th century, or were based on well-known source material of the time.

SBS - the free to air channel with actual international content that everyone either spends 5 minutes watching or 3 hours watching, no in-between. They used to air a fair bit of anime alongside their normally scheduled programming, and you might even be able to catch a few Ghibli films every now and then today.

Titles in which the characters are piloting flying devices (planes, brooms, etc) within the atmosphere. The characters being pilots is relevant to the plot, and during a big part of screen time there is action in the air.

Added one title per franchise.

Shows where there are characters that pilot airplanes, shows that just have some airplanes appear on them don't count.

Dieselpunk is a retrofuturistic subgenre of science fiction that combines the aesthetics of the diesel-based technology of the interwar period through to the 1950s with retro-futuristic technology.

Anime movies that are not followed by any a seasonal anime, there's just the movie.



-Contains BL and GL movies.

Zima Entertainment is a Mexican distributor dedicated to distributing movies and series in theaters and home format, mainly only in their original language with subtitles. In this list you will find all the animes that they have distributed, both in home format and movie theaters.

♥ According to Anime News Network, Zima distributes Millennium Actress in Mexico but it was never released in home format, it's still on this list for a reason. The film was released in theaters by Arcade Media for a limited time, and was dubbed for television, specifically for Paramount Channel and later on Cinecanal.Possibly Zima together with Arcade had the film dubbed for television, but it was never released in home format by Zima (and by no one) in Mexico.

Anime that comes packaged with socio-political commentary. Sometimes as subtext or metaphor, sometimes screamed out loud with abandon.

Romance standalone movies that have clean and crisp animation. While some series do have other related entries, it’s possible to watch this without any prior knowledge which is why I included them in this stack. I hope you enjoy!
