The 64 most beautiful animes of all time

Have you ever wondered what the most beautiful animes are? In this article, we will share a list of the most beautiful animes of all time. Of course, we must understand what the criteria for a beautiful anime are.

What will we consider as a beautiful anime? Its art style? Its exciting story? The appearance of the characters and settings? All these aspects can contribute to the anime being on this list.

Remember that this list is a personal opinion; there may be other better animes, or perhaps you may not find some animes on the list beautiful. With that in mind, I will not number them in a ranking format, and at the end, we will share another quick list of the 50 most beautiful animes of all time.

Amagi Brilliant Park

Seiya Kanie is a handsome and perfectionist boy who is forced by the mysterious Isuzu Sento to visit an amusement park called Amagi Brilliant Park. It is facing serious financial problems and is about to be closed forever.

What Seiya doesn’t know is that it is actually made up of refugees from a magical kingdom called Maple Land. The park is a facility for collecting magical energy from visitors while they have fun. As such, the park is the only way the refugees can maintain their existence in the human realm.

The big challenge will be to save the park from closure. For this, Seiya is hired by the owner, Latifah Fleuranza, the princess of Maple Land, to become its new manager and save it. However, they only have three months to attract 250,000 visitors, a feat that seems impossible given the current situation of the park.

Nagi no Asukara

Nagi no Asukara tells the story of Hikari Sakishima and Manaka Mukaido along with their childhood friends who are forced to leave the sea and attend a school on the surface. There, they will have to deal with the deep hatred and discrimination between the people of the sea and the surface. They will also have to manage the storms in their personal lives as well as the impending storm that will affect everyone living on the surface.

With the world safe from Bahamut’s destruction, bounty hunters like Favaro Leone are very common. Favaro leads a carefree and immoral lifestyle while evading the bounty hunter Kaisar Lidfard, a righteous man who swears revenge on Favaro. However, Favaro’s carefree life is thrown into chaos when he meets Amira, a mysterious woman who holds half the key to the fragile peace of the world.
