When it comes to anime, the sequel movie game is strong. It's a common sight for a popular anime series to spawn a movie sibling, but not all are created equal. Most are like cool side quests, fun but not entirely part of the main adventure. However, in the vast anime universe, exceptions shine through. Enter the fully canon sequel movies – the MVPs filling in major story gaps. These gems not only carry weight in their series but stand tall as enjoyable watches on their own. So, next time you're deep into an anime series, keep an eye out for those canon movie masterpieces – they might just be the missing link you never knew you needed. Check out the anime sequel movies you have to watch.
