Progressive anime
'''Progressive anime''' is a subset of [[progressive animation]] that is produced in [[Japan]].  The term was first promoted by the [[Hayao Miyazaki Mailing List]] back in the early 1990s.  Like the broader term progressive animation, progressive anime refers to [[anime]] that truly breaks boundaries and goes in the face of cliches in the medium.  Again this is a very ambiguous definition, but people who tend to use this label are the kinds of people who appreciate artistically groundbreaking works in film.
