To wrap up our Animation Attack theme week, here are six more anime cult flicks that are as beautiful to look at as they are fascinating to behold:

Ghost in the Shell (1995)

From our review: “It’s a solid jackpot win when you find an anime film that manages to hold a reasonably interesting story together underneath all the visuals. Ghost in the Shell is one of the few Japanese animated titles I’d recommend to anyone without hesitation.”

Lily C.A.T. (1987)

From our review: “Lily C.A.T.I.N.T.H.E.H.A.T. isn’t nearly as gross or disturbing as some other anime ‘classics’ that I saw back in the day, but it does recapture some of those special moments of tension and lurking horror that its inspirations held.”

Akira (1988)

From our review: “Akira‘s a hell of a show. But just like the genre it exemplifies, it’s an acquired taste, and one that doesn’t come too easily.”

Robotech: The Movie (1986)

From our review: “So not only did Robotech: The Movie lack any solid connection, visual consistency, or continuity with the beloved series, its source material contained a bit of sexual and violent content that made it a poor prospect for the kiddie demographic.”

Spirited Away (2001)

From our review: “Spirited Away is birthed from the mind of insanely talented Hayao Miyazaki, possibly the best traditional animated artist alive today. While we’ve begun to take computer animated films for granted, Miyazaki still manages to put supercomputers to shame with mere ink and paper — his work is that beautiful.”

Girls und Panzer der Film (2015)

From our review: “It’s more akin to a sports comedy in the vein of The Bad News Bears and The Mighty Ducks. Except the sport in question is simulated combat in WWII-era tanks. What’s more, it’s viewed in-universe as an activity for girls that is as classically feminine as flower arranging.”
