I wrote that as a title to this post because, as much as I think I’m pretty well versed in the world of Japanese animation, I have seen none of the 20 films mentioned in this post. It’s quite an interesting selection — 20 films that I guess could be considered a bit experimental or at least outside of the mainstream, and so are not well known. I’m definitely planning on adding quite a few of these to my watch list. Pictured, Shigeru Tamura’s Glassy Ocean, released in 1998.
