10. Egao: 7.1

Many anime fans prefer to call Egao a music video rather than an anime because of its amazing soundtrack and short run time.

The story mainly tells a warm and moving story about a little girl and a hamster. Simple and sincere, they live in a comfortable state. "Many people often complain about their daily life and I think modern people are highly fickle. I just want to convey something positive in the anime to make people reflect on their past lives and move on happily," Makoto Shinkai said in an interview.
