Top 10 Anime Suggested by: Mike Bryson A mistake commonly made is classing animated films as their own genre. In theory an animated film is just a cinematic device employed to tell a story, the type of story defines the genre. Nevertheless, there are varying similarities between anime releases and as such, I feel I should honour Mike's request. If you're wandering what Anime is, it can best be described as all animated releases hailing from Asia (namely, China, Japan and Korea) that adhere to a certain style and standard. To hack it down, Anime is muscles, boobs, ridiculous hair, big eyes, small mouths and occasionally... tentacles. 10. Suchîmubôi [2004] Western Title: Steamboy Directed By: Katsuhiro Ôtomo 9.
