2010: How to Train Your Dragon 2011: Kung Fu Panda 2 2012: holy poo poo there are a bunch of animated films I missed out on from this year, so going off of just what I saw I would probably take Rise of the Guardians 2013: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 2014: The Book of Life 2015: The Peanuts Movie 2016: Storks 2017: Coco 2018: Spider-Verse 2019: Klaus, it is the only one I have seen outside of Frozen II and Klaus is muuuuch better than that

The friend I'm thinking of goes so far as to call the whole film racist, but tbh he seems like a thoroughly miserable person all-around at the moment, and has difficulty getting enjoyment from much of anything.

How to train your dragon. I swear every time I watch it I get something new out of it. The biggest revelation was that hiccup is left handed and forces himself to use his right hand as a 'real Viking' and it is a metaphor you see

This was a weak year for wide theatrical releases, but between Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus, Rocko, Klaus, Promare, and Fate/stay night Heaven's Feel II, this has been an almost weirdly good year for streaming and limited release stuff (I'll post my decade list later when I get home, but I just wanted to get this out there immediately since everyone's been calling it a weak year)

I'm not really sure how you can simultaneously be into animation as a general concept and invested in its global progression, and also hate everything Japan makes on principle to the point where you'd just dismiss it all as "a crime" There's a lot of garbage rear end anime, between stuff that's creepy/gross and stuff that's just flat out boring, but I'm gonna acknowledge it when something comes out that actually whips rear end because its nation of origin or art style do not inherently make it bad

It's kinda my winner by default, as it's like the only one I've seen this year (aside from Promare, which wikipedia says isn't a 2019 film (not that I loved it all that much either, liked it but didn't love it)).

I dunno what to say. Also just technically Japan has some of the best animators ever. I work with guys who have been at Dreamworks and ILM who wish they could animate like Okiura: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv4grHvq7E8

Like there are 100% valid angles to poo poo on at least one of the two anime I named, FSN Heaven's Feel requires a stupid amount of investment in a franchise with an absolutely horrible (and partly deserved) reputation to even sort of vaguely understand what the gently caress you're looking at But "it's Japanese" is a really fuckin' weird and bad angle

The only things worse than Pick’s weak hot takes about animation ever since she got some popularity for making fun of Bee Movie, is a) everything else about Pick and b) her overall as a person

On the surface FSN might as well be made up entirely of "this poo poo is awful" red flags and if I'd discovered it as an adult vs. 10 years ago when my tastes were way less discerning, I'd probably be put off by it too, because you don't typically see "based on porn written by Japanese Henry Darger" and expect good things. It's just that nearly everything you'd typically consider a horrible-poo poo red flag is either way less of a thing than it would appear at first glance, or is handled way, way better than average for anime. Like, it's one of the very few things from my high school weeb days that actually kinda holds up (along with DBZ, JoJo, Berserk and Hellsing) and I really was not expecting it to when I dove back in. And not only that, but the Heaven's Feel movies are taking a really particularly great part of it, and turning it into absolutely loving gorgeous movies that cut out all the bullshit cruft and get straight to the essence of why this poo poo actually kinda rules

Nothings looked good to me this year  uhhh gently caress it does the Rocko’s short count?My favorite of the decade is a toss-up between Its Such A Beautiful Day and Spider-verse. Spider-verse has extremely great visuals and animation work, but the way Don Hertzfeldt is able to tell such a strong story with stick figures is just so loving great PenguinKnight fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Dec 31, 2019 |

I am going to list my followups also: (These I'd consider "must-sees" to animation-y liker types) 2010: How to Train Your Dragon, The Illusionist*, Secret World of Arrietty 2011: Adventures of Tintin 2012: Madagascar 3, Earnest & Celestine, It's Such a Beautiful Day 2013: Frozen 2014: The Lego Movie, The Book of Life*, Song of the Sea*, Stand By Me Doraemon, Mune* 2015: Spongebob Movie, Long Way North* 2016: Zootopia, Kubo the Two Strings*, The Red Turtle, A Monster Calls (animated sequences) 2017: Coco, The Breadwinner, Boss Baby* 2018: Smallfoot+, 2019: Klaus, Lego Movie 2 * For animation/art direction primarily or almost exclusively + For plot almost exclusively There are still plenty I haven't seen, especially from studios abroad, but anything not on this list or my years' best-of, I wouldn't have minded skipping. Maybe I forgot a couple. I have heard they're remaking the legend of the white snake, which is of course also the source material for the first-ever color anime film in 1958.

if anything these lists are reminding that it has been almost 10 years since some films have come out, and so now I get to feel old. Also for some reason I totally thought that Madagascar 3 came out in, like, 2009 or something so seeing it in some of the lists so that's been throwing me for a loop  Oh right, also my top film for the decade is a toss-up between Spider-Verse and KFP2

There should be an honorable mention in decade-end reviews for The Prophet. It's not good enough on its own as a movie, but it's a great showcase of animation from 2014.
