Anime movie is a branch of cinematics. Unlike traditional movies, anime movies stand out with special characteristics in terms of how they shape the personality of the characters and how they portray the inner world of those characters. “Realism” and “surrealism” are important elements in anime movies to portray the stories. In this article, the special aesthetic of anime movies is analyzed using the works produced by Hayao Miyazaki. The internal conflict between “realism” and “surrealism” is analyzed in order to understand the character image and story theme in an in-depth manner.
