Japan’s top cinema rag Kinema Junpo has published a list of the best anime movies of all time.
The ranking, covering Japanese animation and arrived at by a panel of 67 film critics and other experts:
1. Lupin the Third: Castle of Cagliostro
2. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
3. My Neighbor Totoro
4. Crayon Shin-chan: The Storm Called: The Adult Empire Strikes Back
5. AKIRA
6. Nagagutsu wo Haita Neko
7. [joint]
Urusei Yatsura 2
Taiyō no Ōji
The Tale of the White Serpent10. [joint]
Summer Days with Coo
Summer Wars
Castle in the Sky
Grave of the Fireflies
With apologies to those expecting results in an easily comprehensible top 10 format.
As expected, Ghibli handily dominates the rankings, along with a number of classics from the last century.
Summer Wars should’ve been in the top 5 O_o
There’s no The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya and/or K-ON! 映画. A total failure list.
funny I have seen all of the top 5.
