However, outside of Japan, it has become the catch-all term for animation from Japan.

Because all things anime tend to be lumped together, it’s tempting to think of anime as a genre. It isn’t, at least no more than animation itself is a genre, but rather a description of how the material is produced. Anime shows, like books or movies, fall into any number of existing genres: comedy, drama, sci-fi, action-adventure, horror and so on.

For decades, anime was produced by and for Japan — a local product, with a distinct look-and-feel to not just the artwork but the storytelling, the themes, and the concepts. Over the last forty years, it has become an international phenomenon, attracting millions of fans and being translated into many languages.

Here is our list of Top 10 anime classics that everyone should watch.

Jungle Taitei (Kimba the White Lion)

So, what characteristics actually make up a classic anime? Is it their popularity throughout the years? Or maybe rather how old they are? Well sure, those things play a huge part in the equation, but the most important duty anime classics have is to leave a footprint in the world of anime, allowing it to continue to evolve in the future. One classic anime that nailed this task is Jungle Taitei (Kimba the White Lion) (aka Jungle Emperor Leo). The story is based around the tragic story of a little lion cub named Leo who loses his parents at a young age and is forced to grow up without family, but there is no need for fret because Leo soon meets new friends who care for him as family… Yes, I know, deja vu right? The plot of the story is a bit similar to Disney’s famous Lion King. Well if serving as some sort of inspiration for a Disney movie isn’t a huge footprint on the world of anime, then I don’t know what is!

Koukaku Kidoutai (Ghost in the Shell)

Based on the manga of the same title, this sci-fi anime set in a technologically advanced world, was a huge box office hit in Japan and is now considered a true classic anime by fans throughout the world. It even inspired the Wachowskis in their creation of the hit Hollywood film The Matrix. Also classic is the OST of Stand Alone Complex, composed by prolific musical genius Yoko Kanno.
