100 highest-rated feature-length animated films on Letterboxd.

Here's a database of my other lists on Letterboxd.
End of Evangelion is not included because it is a sequel to an anime series; Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time is included because it's part of a standalone four film series. More info on why:

Those that are included can be enjoyed on a standalone basis—and I've taken the decision to remove films that only do a brief recap (such as Steven Universe: The Movie) at the beginning that may not give the quality of context necessary for enjoyment. The rationale for this decision is so that viewers can finish this list without having to see a multitude of other episodes and films.
In addition, series recaps are also not included. These decisions have been made to keep the list consistent and achievable. Please feel free to create your own list if you disagree.
List is updated at the beginning of every month.
