I don't know if Professor Layton is really considered an anime but I kinda already consider it one myself -^^- And there is a movie about it too, so I guess it's hit the anime world a bit. I really love this movie (well I love the whole series too, but not the point) . It has everything you would expect in a movie about Professor Layton. Of coarse its absolutely charming but its also funny and even brings in aspects of the game into the movie itself.

About: Layton and his apprentice Luke are invited to an opera by one of his former students, Janice Quatlane. He learns that most of the audience in attendance have come seeking eternal life elixir, which has been promised to be given to a single person who successfully comes out on top after a series of puzzles. Along with the claim that a young woman who died has been reborn as a child. The mysteries run deep as Layton seeks the truth behind all the riddles. When you think you know who the culprit, there's even more behind it. Will Layton unveil the truth behind everything?
