the Best Anime About Protecting The Environment and exploring

Anime has always done an amazing job at depicting nature in a beautiful way, however these specific anime excelled at the job. Depending on who you ask, the beauty of nature can mean a lot.

A quaint garden with colorful shrubs and trees can have the same effect that a forbidden mountain peak stands out against a bare sky. There are a lot of movies in anime that use nature as a theme, and even those that may not be in the wild or green spaces.

my neighbor totoro The rural road behind a truck laden with furniture and boxes opens in a sequence. Mei and Satsuki are heading out of the country, and viewers follow their journey through the sunny Japanese countryside.

Their journey ends in an equally charming but slightly run-down country house that almost looks like it’s grown out of the ground like a plant. Even without the supernatural forest spirit that gives this film its name.

the countryside has a lot to enjoy. The beauty of the environment is equal parts farm and forest, and Studio Ghibli makes sure audiences get the best of both worlds.

6. Howl’s Moving Castle

“Less is more” certainly isn’t the motto of this anime, in fact, it’s the opposite. With one of the best soundtracks ever, the animation is a perfect blend of steampunk, whimsical, dreamy and mystic aesthetics – in a Wizard of Oz type of story.

The story is about a young girl cursed by a witch, and she is accustomed to befriend a young wizard and his walking castle (wildly creative!)

to break the spell. The story revolves around love, loyalty and has an anti-war subplot. The city of Colmar in France is the main setting for the film—a hybrid of German and French architecture with cobblestone streets, storefronts, alleyways and stunning landscapes.
