Have you raved to your friends about your favorite anime film, only to be met with resistance and hostility? Have you ever been embroiled in a fan war with other nerds on anime forums?
Well, put down those pitchforks because Tofugu has finally put all those arguments to rest. We’ve taken the best of Japanese animation and smashed it into one list, just for you.
There is one catch though… NO STUDIO GHIBLI films! If we included Ghiblis, they would take up the most of the list (and they deserve a list of their own). This is a showcase of lesser known, but no less talented, filmmakers in Japan.
After watching the vid, head down to the comments and let us know we were right (unless you have a, I don’t know, a DIFFERENT opinion. Unthinkable!)
And if you can’t sit through the vid and want see the whole list right now, head over to Tofugu.com and read the article.

I know its been a while since Cat Island Part 1 came out, and youre all so patiently waiting for Part 2 (soon, I promise!!), so I thought Id put together a TofuguTV quicky in the meantime... also happens to be about the favorite food of cats...
At ざうお (Zauo), a super-fun restaurant, you catch your own fish (and then tell them how you want it prepared). Youre surrounded by aquariums (and possibly sitting on a giant indoor boat) and they give you some bait and fishing poles. From there, you bait the hook and go fishing. The fish are totally dumb and love being caught, which makes it awesome.
This place is a bit gimmicky, sure, but its also one of the funnest restaurants Ive been to. Totally worth checking out, I think!
I also write about Japanese culture, society, language, etc., over at http://tofugu.com (nothing stuffy, only fun). Shoot me an email if I can help with anything!")
