I'm skipping the eighth challenge because I don't really have an answer to it. In the eighth challenge, I was supposed to talk about the worst anime I have ever seen, but I can't really think of anything. Sure, there were anime that I have dropped and never continue but they're not that bad. It wasn't just to my liking or maybe I just got bored of it. I also don't remember their titles because why would I? haha
I have finished some anime that didn't really make sense like School Days, but the ending was kind of interesting, so I can't really list it as the worst. So, here I am.. continuing the ninth part of the anime blogging challenge instead.
This ANIME BLOGGING CHALLENGE was started and hosted by @kuronokenshi. Feel free to join if you still haven't. ^^
What is My Favorite Anime Movie???
There sure are a lot on the list and it's indeed very difficult to choose just one. There are those from Ghibli, Makoto Shinkai ones, anime movie from various anime series that I'm following and a lot more. But if I'm to choose one, it would be "KOE NO KATACHI".

I really admire the message of this movie. It's relatable because it portrays social issues that are actually happening in real life. It somehow allows us to see what's inside a bully and a bullied person's mind. I especially like the character development of the main male lead.
It's sad to see people who are depressed and with suicidal ideation. Sometimes, they are the people we least expect to have these thoughts. So this anime is an eye opener. It's really important to be an ear to listen and a shoulder to lean on. It doesn't matter who... just be there for someone. ^^

I did mention that I also love movies which are actually from animated series. One of my faves would be Kuroko no Basuke's Last Game. I have watched this multiple times already and I;m still willing to watch it several times more. Why not? It's my dream team playing together!
This movie also somehow gave a conclusion to the series. Well, it's still hanging since it only showed the possible path the main characters are most likely going into. It would be awesome to see a continuation of the series... or perhaps another time skip movie? ^^

If someone asks me what my favorite Ghibli animation is, I'd immediately answer "Mimi wo Sumaseba" or "Whispers of the Heart". It might not be as famous as the other Ghibli animation, but I really enjoyed watching this. The characters are just so adorable.
I'm not a huge fan of love stories, but this one is just too cute not to like. They're both middle schoolers who fell in love with each other, but more than that, they're both trying to support each other in order to achieve their goals in life. I guess it's really nice to have someone who will push you further in achieving your goals.
They might be apart for sometime, but for sure, they'd meet again because of the strong bond and connection they have created.

This movie is cuteness overload. <3 I love PONYO so much, too!
Of course, the story is amazing and truly entertaining, but what I like most in this anime is the art style and the setting. It's really unique. Of course, Ghibli is known for combining reality with a world of fantasy, but the world in Ponyo is just so amusing.
Ponyo's dad is also a very interesting character. He might be misunderstood as evil. I thought he was at some point, but I realized he is just like a normal father who can be very overprotective of his daughter.
Well, the list goes on for my favorite animated films... but we can talk about the others next time. :)
