1. Grave of the Fireflies (117 votes)
Directed by Takahata Isao, the co-founder of Ghibli, this film follows two siblings as they struggle to survive the war. This piece is often used for war and moral education in Japanese elementary schools, leaving tears in its wake as it depicts the harsh realities of war and people with painful accuracy. It must have had quite an impact if it got more than twice as many votes as the next in rank…
The survey wasn’t limited to Japanese anime, though: Big Hero 6 and Toy Story 3 also made it to the top 10.
10. 5 Centimeters per Second (24)
9. Stand by Me Doraemon (28)
8. One Piece: Episode of Chopper: Bloom in the Winter, Miracle Sakura (28)
7. Toy Story 3 (29)
6. Big Hero 6 (34)
5. Crayon Shin-chan: The Storm Called: The Battle of the Warring States (35)
4. A Dog of Flanders (40)
