This company has only animated one feature-length anime movie. They are also the only company on this list that isn’t Japanese, they are Korean. You may not have been aware that high-quality anime can originate from countries other than Japan, but Kim Moon-saeng certainly made a gem of an anime movie proving that geography has nothing to do with the quality of an anime feature.

I’ll admit that I was a little wary of this anime at first due to its Korean origins. It’s nothing against the Koreans, but I was used to Japanese anime, and not keen to change things up at all. The first time I tried to watch this anime, I even stopped watching because the art style was so different than that to which I was accustomed. Both of these impressions were very much in error. Having watched the movie in its entirety several times now, I can definitely say that this movie is not inferior in any way to its Japanese counterparts. The art style is wonderful, the voices are good, in all technical aspects, this movie is notably above the average anime movie. Story-wise the movie is certainly solid, with a post-apocalyptic society struggling with a significantly polluted world and dissension between its social classes. It also deals with love that transcends these class boundaries and the complications there-in. A definite good time, not suggested for younger children, though, as there is a good deal of violence that may not agree with younger viewers. A shining example of how truly good anime doesn’t have to be produced in Japan.
