At the beginning of this anime season, one of the most popular series to be released called K, resurfaced the constantly debated topic of style over substance. Some people will ultimately always prefer a good story over good animation, while others won’t even go near an anime that’s animation isn't top quality. Both sides have their own valid arguments, but what these discussions managed to remind me of, is that anime is such a diverse medium that allows for so much creative freedom.
With that said, I decided to place together a list of the series and films that I find to have some of the most striking animation that you can find in the industry. I'm talking about those anime that the moment you start watching, you are instantly impressed or simply astonished by the visuals presented. It’s a quality in an anime that makes it truly memorable. So without further ado, here’s the list!
