Everything good from the series and then some. Better pacing, better action, more of the introspection and question asking.
The Garden of Words
Short, sweet, and ridiculously beautiful in animation.
Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale
While not without plot holes and a slapped-together ending, this grounds the series back down to its roots and keeps asking those very relevant questions.
Fate/Stay Night: Heaven’s Feel I. Presage Flower
A great start to the best arc of the Fate/Stay Night series. A masterful feat of animation.
Your Name (Kimi no Na wa)
A magical, emotionally moving piece with the most gorgeous of visuals. It feels like the magic of a Ghibli movie.
Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms
Maquia blends sweeping, immersive fantasy with raw, heart-tenderizing emotion focusing on the bond of mother and son. Prepare your cry holes.
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door)
A great capstone to the series (that chronologically takes place before the series ends). Definitely worth finding and watching.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion
An eerie finish (?) to the Madoka series that keeps the curveballs coming. Inu Curry's unsettling abstract animation is back and Yuki Kajiura's soundtrack is phenomenal, but the story can be tricky to follow.
Mary and the Witch’s Flower
Beautiful visuals and enchanting story, but in the end feels like a less enchanting Ghibli knock-off. If you haven't seen many Ghibli films, watch this first so you can enjoy it.
