Hi user nanaphat! Hope you’re doing well!

Here’s a list of animated films that you might like :) (Nothing can compete with The Grave of the Fireflies though)

- The Summit of the Gods dir. Patrick Imbert

- Tales of Earthsea dir. Goro Miyazaki

- The Swallows of Kabul dir. by Zabou Breitman and Eléa Gobé Mévellec

- Persepolis dir. Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi

- Flee dir. Jonas Poher Rasmussen

- Colorful dir. Keiichi Hara

My favourite from this list is The Summit of the Gods. I adore Jiro Taniguchi’s work and the film beautifully adapted his art style. Nothing can top the sheer beauty of his words and drawings and yet I feel like this film succeeded in encapsulating the essence of his work.

thank you so much for this high-quality list omg! i will slowly work through all of them and who knows!!! i might liveblog if i remember to!

the funny thing is that i actually read the original manga version of the summit of the gods and i really liked it. (our tastes match yay!!) so i think i'll put that at the bottom of my watch list for now, since i still remember how that plot went. but i have no doubt the film was the perfect adaptation for it hehe
