10 Anime With Great Animation

The most crucial elements of anime is animation. A superb animation may breathe new life into the anime world and characters by effectively capturing their emotions, the grandeur of the anime universe and the epicness of the combat scenes. So here I am appreciating some of the best works of animation in the world of anime.

10. Redline

Words can’t express how impressed I am with Redline’s visual presentation. In all seriousness, no words can adequately express how wonderful this movie is. One of the most aesthetically breathtaking animated films ever created by the Japanese animation studio Madhouse must be seen in action to fully appreciate its brilliance. The character designs are varied, distinctive, and intriguing, from the human-based characters to all of the different alien races and cybernetic beings that live in Redline. Then there are the vehicles, which are equally fantastic and come in a wide variety of sizes, styles, and designs, ranging from straightforward to utterly insane, with distinct characteristics and impressive weaponry. Last but not least, the film’s landscapes, which range from the rocky outcrops where races are held to spaceships floating above planets, all have a remarkable level of detail that captures your attention, especially on a huge screen.

9. Bubble

There is no disputing this from a production aspect alone; it is a flawless masterpiece. Lackluster animation, unmoving background characters, and plain backgrounds? Yeah, no, not with Wit Studio. Every scene in Bubble always has a vibrant, lively background. The amount of information is ridiculous. And every frame demonstrates extreme effort. You can pause this movie at any time and take your time taking in all the little nuances. Even great, though, are the animations. The animators at Wit Studio were flexing their skills at this point. The moving camera shots duringcharacter movements exert more energy in the dynamic background. The parkour segments in this film may be its strongest point. There is a lot of movement on the screen, yet you can’t seem to find anything that doesn’t scream attention to detail and effort. This is the closest thing to an eye-gasm there is.

8. Violet Evergarden

Anyone who watches this series will immediately notice how well-produced it is. In terms of technical excellence, this is possibly one of Kyoto Animation’s best pieces to date. The world setting features beautiful, natural landscapes and European-style buildings that are richly colored and intricately sculpted. There is never a lapse in quality throughout any episode, and every camera shot feels significant. To accentuate every minute detail, including Violet’s character emotions and her position as a doll, body movements are also synchronized with precision. In relation to it, Violet has a highly classy appearance according to her character design. It’s difficult to tell she was formerly a soldier if you weren’t aware of her history. Her distinctive hand also has outstanding animation features, making it a trademark. It communicates the message to viewers of who she is. It’s clear to me that the creative team at Kyoto Animation poured a sheer amount of effort and love into making this series as a whole.

7. Garden of Words

Makoto Shinkai is a name that has become increasingly prevalent over the years. And for good reason, too. After hitting the anime industry in 2007 with his opus magnum “5 Centimeters Per Second”, he quickly established himself as a director with the ability to combine masterful artistic talent with emotional, bittersweet storytelling. Does his latest animation achieve that same ideal? In some ways, it does. The artwork and animation, which are nothing short of masterpieces, play a large role in the portrayal of a movie which’s strengths lie in its representation through dejected soliloquies. This is one of the best visually stunning pieces of work I have ever seen in the history of anime. The animation is immaculate with superb cinematography, including the clever use of deep focus in more private sequences to effectively emphasize the use of key metaphors and well-angled panoramas boasting the huge and breathtaking vistas that are a wonder to behold. The painstakingly rendered scenes and landscapes feature elements that are very similar to those found in real life, further boosting the experience’s sense of immersion.

6. Wonder Egg Priority

Every scene looks like it could have come straight out of an anime film. The artwork doesn’t feel like from a TV anime at all. Everything in the show has been made with a lot of love and care, which is surprising for an anime original story that didn’t have popularity. From the background art, which at times appears lifelike thanks to some truly wonderful tracing work, to the cuisine, which with its detail and rich colors looks like it belongs in a Ghibli film. It cannot be overstated how intricately detailed all of the art for this series is. The majority of the transition scene backgrounds, like Ooto walking in the rain or the flowers in the fields, could very well work as 4K. Even though the character designs are vastly more intricate, the action is about as fluid as Mob Psycho. Even if action is not even the main focus given the nature of the tale, Wonder Egg Priority may feature some of the best action moments in recent anime thanks to a combination of quite distinctive-looking opponents, excellent fight choreography, and cuts during major attacks.

5. Pretty Boy Detective Club

I adore this anime’s animation. It lives up to “Pretty Boy” name. The artwork is stunning and extremely artistic. From the brightly colored hair and starry eyes to the shading and the way the shoes are depicted. I haven’t seen anything with the same artistic flair, so it’s distinctive and unforgettable. It seems like they were going for a dreamlike look. If so, they did a fantastic job of accomplishing it. The realistic fabric, paired with the anime appearance, and the starry eyes, in my opinion, are what give it the most wonderful appearance. The backdrops are excellent as well. The intricacies are exquisite, and they all function flawlessly. Both small and large are included. Great character designs can also be found. Even though they aren’t entirely based on personality, I can tell what the characters’ personalities are from the designs. All of them have distinctive looks.

4. Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

Kabaneri was made with a lot of care and precision by the Wit studio, which also handled animation and art production. Due to the quantity of detail in the artwork, it is important to pay attention to it. Detail-oriented elements include the tinting of the atmosphere to depict the post-apocalyptic scenario, symbolic artifacts, and coloring of the Kabane. Character designs are distinctive and go nicely with the environment that Kabaneri is aiming for. The designs are perfect for this series because they are neither too plain nor too flamboyant. No matter what is happening, scenes are always beautifully animated, which is something to admire. The animation pumps out degrees of quality to meet any occasion, whether it’s a battle to see who gets more food, idle chitchat, or even training. Action scenes with characters engaged in combat to repel the Kabane feature some of the best animations. With each movement, the fluidity improves to a remarkable level, increasing the enjoyment.

3. Vivy: Flourite Eye’s Song

The art and animation are among the show’s strengths, and my god did Wit deliver on this one. The Vivy vs. Elizabeth battle and the Diva and Matsumoto vs. Antonio and Yugo fight are two of the best animated hand-to-hand fight scenes I’ve seen all year. If you didn’t know, they really used Minecraft to model out Matsumoto’s flight-capable form, and they did fairly well with the CG as well. The producers did a wonderful job of fusing the 2D and 3D animation, and although some CG models could stand out like a sore thumb, I’d say the CG is way above average compared to some of the trash you’d see in other shows. The animation and the artwork are both excellent. The character designs and settings are very realistic, and the hyper-detailed zoom-in shots are works of art. Wit Studios worked hard on Phantom Blood to achieve some of their best animation and artwork ever. It’s excellent and makes you want to scream, “Look at that budget!”

2. Land of the Lustrous

Over the last few years or so the discussion regarding the use of CGI in anime has grown all the more prominent which in turn has led to disdain from fans, devaluing any show that would dare to use it. And I firmly feel that this series represents a significant step forward in the development of the genre. Overall, Houseki’s animation is pretty darn good! The CGI in this show looks absolutely stunning and moves with fluidity and quality. When in combat, they move elegantly, never appearing abrupt or awkward in the least. I really adore the patterns of each jewel, especially the style of their hair. I adore how it twinkles, softly highlighting the gems’ uniforms, with Dia maybe appearing the best in that aspect. The action scenes are also quite well done, with unique and dynamic photography, and even the way the grass is animated and how lovely it appears is something I can enjoy, and, again, help the world feel more alive and vibrant.

1.Tales of Zestiria the X

I can confidently declare that Ufotable has once again shown that they are capable of managing CG after only a few minutes of viewing this show. Beyond the visuals, Tales of Zestiria the X is more than just another unlimited visual porn. Produced by the renowned, top-tier animation studio Ufotable. When it comes to the animations, this show does not fall short at all. In fact, if there is anything worth discussing, it would be the excellent caliber of the output. Whether it’s the character designs, the creatures (Hellions), or the violent battle scenes, it’s essentially 3D done correctly. Additionally, practically every scene with brief still-shot sequences benefits from the character movement choreography. There isn’t much fan service, and the camera angles are well-timed. You do receive service that is completely action-packed and direct. Even better when it comes to the battles and choreography of the anime, it just blows my mind how consistent Ufotable’s animation standard is—and this for a video game adaptation no less. Everything looks like an action-packed movie quality, and with how crisp, fluid, and just how polished and detailed everything looks was. It’s impressive to say the least.
