Whats a good non-series anime movie, like Castle in the Sky, and Spirited Away?

Question

Iv seen those 2 and a few more, but im looking for an anime movie i havent seen in a long time and dont remember the name of it. So i want to know all the good anime non-series movies that are out there so i can find it.

Answer 1

Grave of the firefllies -- one of my favorites.

Taking place toward the end of World War II in Japan, Grave of the Fireflies is the poignant tale of the relationship between two orphaned children, Seita (清太) and his younger sister Setsuko (節子). The children lose their mother in the firebombing of Kobe, and their father in service to the Imperial Japanese Navy, and as a result they are forced to try to survive amidst widespread famine and the callous indifference of their countrymen (some of whom are their own extended family members).

The Girl Who Leapt through time

Makoto Konno (Riisa Naka/Emily Hirst), a girl attending high school in Tokyo's shitamachi, realises she has the power to go back in time and re-do things (called a "time-leap") when she impossibly avoids a fatal accident at a train crossing one day.

Bewildered, she consults with her aunt (Sachie Hara/Saffron Henderson) throughout the film, who then implies that she is the protagonist (Kazuko Yoshiyama) from the original novel. At first, Makoto uses them extravagantly to avoid being tardy and to get perfect grades on tests. However, things begin to turn bad as she discovers how her actions can adversely affect others.

I don't know if you'll like this one, but it was okay with me (not that it was bad, it's actually good, not just my preferred genre)

5 cm per second

Upon graduating from elementary school, Takaki Tōno and his close friend Akari Shinohara drifted apart. Akari moved to Tochigi Prefecture due to her parents' jobs, while Takaki attended a junior high in Tokyo. The two kept in contact by writing letters, but despite the special feelings that existed between them, the only thing that persisted was time

Answer 4

Well I'm sorry, it's not exactly non-series (there is a sequel movie which is also awesome) but one of my favourite movies, anime or not, is called Patlabor.

There is also Ghost in the Shell, that is a good movie you can watch without having to watch the series.

Answer 5

Princess Monoko was pretty good, in my opinion.
