WHOAH! Well, thank you! I luuuuurve to watch anime!

For movies, anything made by Satoshi Kon and Hayao Miyazaki! They are the master of animation field. Their movies are really amazing. Hayao Miyazaki is a genius of animation! All his movies are so full of life and love and their are funny too! He is better than Walt Disney! And to Satoshi, he was one of my favorite anime director and manga artist, so sad that he died and the saddest part of it is that he died on my birthday last year. RIP to Satoshi.

* Spirited Away – Me and my niece have seen this like gazillion times. I hope someday that spirited away 2 will be made. Or a book or something.
* The girl who leapt through time – The movie was incredibly beautiful, extremely entertaining and had a great message too. You will laugh A LOT and will get pretty sad too. Not to mention the epic story and character design.
* Princess Mononoke – I’m in love with this anime. This movie portrays all sides of humans and nature. This is just a masterpiece.
* Grave of the fireflies – If you want to cry, watch this! Perhaps the king of all anime Tear Jerkers! One of the most powerful anti-war movies ever made. I’ve only seen this once. However with that single viewing this anime movie left an impact on me that few anime have ever done.
* Paprika – Have you watched Inception? Well the writer and director got the idea of the story from this anime. I will rather watch Paprika 2-3 times than watch Inception again. To be honest there is nothing suspense in Inception. 20 mins into the film and you can safely guess what the ending is going to be. This movie was AMAZING. The originality, graphics, and plotline were really cool! I just don’t get why it’s rated R! There’s like…3 seconds of nipple in the whole movie. hahahaha :P
* Perfect Blue – Honestly one of the best movies i’ve ever seen! There were so many twists and the storyline is brilliant! Perfect Blue seems almost identical to Black Swan. I understand Swan’s director met Satoshi Kon, bought the rights to his film so he could at least reproduce one scene. But he denies the story is inspired by Prefect Blue. I don’t think that’s cool. Black Swan was influenced by Perfect Blue to a certain extent.
* 5 centimeters per second – This movie is about as wholesome as they come. The ending is very bitter sweet though.
* Tokyo Godfathers – For me this is something refreshing to watch. Although the art style here may not be your cup of tea, I’d say give it a chance simply because it doesn’t follow the conventional limitations of today’s anime. I highly reccomend this.
* Howl’s moving castle – I’ve watched this a couple of times because i can’t get enough of it. Beautifully directed, amazing animation and memorable characters especially Calcifer, love him :) LOL
* My neighbor totoro – I love this movie because I like the characters. Totoro is so effin’ adorable.

I suggest you watch any movie made by Studio Ghibli! Nothing beats 2D based animation. Especially one from Miyazaki and Satoshi.

Best hear from the source, ask away.
