This is an interest stack of the most well known/relevant to pop culture anime movies. This will be entirely original movies and not series movies. This isn't about money made but rather about cultural relevance/popularity. This stack is open to suggestions
Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi
Movie, 2001, 1 ep Me:- Author:9
This is the first of Studio Ghibli's movies included in this stack. Ghibli is the most well known anime movie studio, but I don't want this to be the Ghibli list, so only the most famous ones will be included. That's still a lot of movies, but they've made a lot of movies.
