Well, don't we all love studio Ghibli animation? well, you came to the right place here I will be giving 10 animations movies similar to Studio Ghibli's style.     

1. COLOURFUL

GENRE: MYSTERY AND FANTASY DIRECTOR: KEIICHI HARA

WRITTEN BY:: ETO MORI

Where do I start, this animation is one of my many all time favourite. It's just one of those animated films that just drag you in from every angle. Do you know, when you see an anime or film that is impacts you and makes you go wow? Yeah, this is it. Colourful revolves around the heavy topic of death. This is stated in the beginning of the film: "I" died and was kicked out of the cycle of reincarnation because of the sin "I" committed. An angel told me that "I" won a lottery and he gave me a chance to remember the sin. My spirit possessed the body of the 14-year-old boy Makoto, who committed suicide and "I" tried to recollect my memory. "I" felt distressed by the terrible circumstances of Makoto and the fact that "I" was borrowing his body. "I" have started to realize that people are hurting each other because the world is too colourful to distinguish the true colour of themselves from others.

2.   SUMMER WARS

 GENRE: COMDEY , SCI-FI, DRAMA

 DIRECTOR: HOSODA MAMORU

The animation of this anime is quite for filling in design storyline and visuals. My entire time watching it , i got pulled in and felt all the emotions expressed by the characters. In this animated film, is about a boy named Kenji Kois, who is a 17 year old high schooler with the ability of being a upmost math genius. Outside the realm of schooling, he is a a oz moderator in virtualized reality, which is quite popular worldwide.

As he embarks on this summer job he receives a text which is a maths question that he eventually cracks.
