It's amazing to me how anyone could believe anything about anime not being a legitimate art. It has come along way in America, but there are still naysayers. This is why when showing someone unfamiliar with anime works I skip to the best possible thing to show them, Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. So popular are the movies created by them, they are released by Disney in the United States. If anyone ever has doubts about the anime style they need only take a look at this movie. The scenery and background are not just there in the back as a thing to anchor the character they have an undeniable presence all their own. They are almost photo realistic, but unmistakably still has touches of anime. The pictures below really don't do justice to the amazing artwork in the movie and it can not be described how breathtaking it was to watch this for the first time. Not only for the art, but the wonderful fantastical story line as well.
