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 "[[anime]] connoisseurs", the kinds of people who appreciate artistically groundbreaking works in film. 

Some examples of progressive anime:
*[[Akira]]
*[[Angel's Egg]]
*[[Digital Juice]]
*[[FLCL]]⏎
*[[Grave of the Fireflies]]
*[[Katsuhiro Otomo]]'s [[Memories_(movie)|Memories]]
*[[Manie Manie]] (aka [[Labyrinth Tales]], aka [[Neo-Tokyo]])
*[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]⏎
*[[Only Yesterday]]
*[[Serial Experiments Lain]]
*[[Spirited Away]]
*[[Tamala 2010]]
*[[Texhnolyze]]
*[[Wings of Honneamise]]
