Throughout my anime journey, I’ve always been fond of good emotional and romantic movies and series (I’ll cover them in another post sometime later). As I kept watching, emo-romantic movies list finished too fast and yeah I was so cheeky on what kind of main characters or story I want to see and due to this habit I happened to watch some good underrated stuff most people usually miss. In this post Im going to list some good underrated anime movies that are must watch but I think most people usually miss them.
This list isn’t in any order but I’ll try to put good one on top tho : )
1. The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes
Earlier I said this list isn’t in any order but I have to contradict my own words here ー this masterpiece is a must watch and could be easily top in our list.
The story revolves around a guy named Kaoru Touno and a girl named
Anzu Hanashiro Who just transferred in from Tokyo. In the beginning they dont really get along well but later due to some certain situation they become like a team and explore a mysterious tunnel Urashima Tunnel ー a tunnel where if you once enter you can get anything but you’ll have pay with time…because time is money (笑）
Story is quite complex and I cant really just spoil it here too just go and watch; this is a pure masterpiece and ending is sick too.

2. Maboroshi
I just can’t explain how much I love this anime (movie). It has everything a romantic movie need; story is fine too though it might feels slow in the beginning but just hang there for half an hour and you’re gonna thank yourself.
Story goes like Masamune was living a normal life with his friend until
a mysterious blast happens in a factory in their town and their age and everything in that town get stuck forever. Story gets interested when Masamune follows his mysterious classmate Mutsumi Sagami when they encounter another mysterious girl who can’t speak and story gets another turn…leading to an intense romantic and emotional plot.
Must Watch.

3. Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop
If you wana see something different (I mean art style) this one is your thing.
I really liked this movie as the main character (male ニャ) seems to be an introvert that was a thing I felt very relatable and art style as well as story is really fined tuned. AND if you like Haiku or you wear braces and mask (srry xd) you’re gonna love this.
Story starts as two people; a guy named Cherry (kawaii name) and a girl named Smile ツ both with communication issues due to different reasons interact to each other and their love story starts. It has very heart-touching light-hearted story with multiple unique plots.
TBH if you’re an introvert or just like romance you are gonna like this for sure.

4. Patema Inverted
Patema Inverted is one of those anime movies whom most people dont even know exists…(To be honest, I never met a single person who has watched this movie). I really enjoyed every single second of it.
The Story is very unique and serene, a princess named Patema who lived most of her life in an underground world, where people lived normally like humans but they have to wear special clothes all the time. Patema’s favourite place was a dead end Danger Zone During her exploration journey she happened to cross the world and stumble in a different world (Our World) where she met a guy named Age (yeah you read it right…its age). Anyway slowly they become close and their love story unfolds as they also explore the wonders of story. There are a lot more story so just watch it.
Edit: (There’s also a prequel Patema Inverted: Beginning of the Day too ig)

5. The Boy and the Beast
This one might seem an action movie from first view…yeah it has some action but it also has full load of emotions and ofcourse romance material too. I just liked it and you’re also gonna like it.
The story revolves around an orphan guy named Ren tho mostly called Kyuuta (Kyu 九ー9) as he was nine year old when given named.
Story starts as a beast Kumatetsu who was looking for a student as he had to participate in a certain competition to secure the throne of beast kingdom but due to his anger issue no student lasts an evening with him. He happened to pass across in the human Ren but dont really like him and leave for the beast kingdom but Ren follows him and happened to pass into the beast kingdom. Many things happen and when Ren becomes a teenager he started getting human like interests and started visiting the human world where he met Kaede a girl who offers him free tuition and their relation slowly develops into something beautiful ❤️.
If you want romance, action, and emo at one place…its a must watch.

Final Note
I guess, its enough for this post. I know I just covered only 5 Anime…don’t worry as soon as I get the time & motivation; I’m gonna add more or just post a part 2 of this. Its my first post so please excuse any silly mistake or grammar errors. Feedback is really appreciated so please let me know if I did something wrong, missed any good anime so I could put it in my future posts or missing something in general. Cheers!
