I have the distinct impression that when a lot of Westerners talk about Anime, they mean not just "Animation created in Japan" but "Japanese animated films of a paticular genre and style". I could say that Akira falls in that genre/style while Spirited Away does not, but I'd be lying since I was stoned out of my gourd when I watched Akira.
I'm told the Japanese call any animated film from anywhere "Anime" and I don't think I was on anything when I heard that.

None of it?
The more popular movies seem to get a good review (Akira, Spirited Away)Possibly. Maybe I haven't had enough exposure. Grave of the fireflies has stuck with me for a long time, but obviously that was the emotional story. The subjectively crap animation and annoying voice actors, not so much.
My daughter is currently watching a show on Netflix called 'Demon Slayer'. Absolute shit.
