12 Underrated Anime Films Adults Absolutely Need to Watch Once

From “Ghost in the Shell” to the films of Studio Ghibli, anime movies have always enjoyed popularity amongst Western audiences.

Instead, I want to draw attention to underrated films for a more mature audience that might have gone under the radar. I want to show that anime films can reach a wider audience than mainstream anime films today might suggest.
