35 Best Anime Movies That You Should Watch Asap

Generally, anime films are recognized through their use of stark colors, vibrant characters, and fantastic or futuristic themes. Sometimes, what sets an anime film apart from other animations is the stylistic choices made; anime cares less about the movement and places more emphasis on the details and settings of the characters, the combination of effects, and unique art styles including varied character features such as large, emotive eyes.
