The most realistic anime films?
Al_Sleeper:
Due to the presence of a ghost girl, On a Paper Crane is not completely realistic.

oh ok. i'll erase it.
I haven't seen the movie and I thought it was realistic as i read the plot..

One of my favorite movies; surprised it didn't get listed yet:
• The Wings of Honneamise | Ouritsu Uchuugun: Honneamise no Tsubasa
It's been 8 or so years since I've seen it, so someone correct the recommendation if I forgot something important. However, I believe it doesn't have anything "unrealistic," in that it adheres to all the known science and physics of our world. It does set the story in a slightly different history and timeline than our "real" world. It fictionalizes the actual countries and precise tech match-up for the time period, but more or less is approximately a WWII-era story about the first manned spaceflight with all the politics of warring nations competing to be first.
Magnificent animation and story. Still a must-watch if it somehow doesn't meet your precise "realism" needs.

well, haven't seen it (although it is in my to-watch list in the next few days), but seeing "sci-fi" and "parallel universe" as tags in the torrents section, I'm not sure if it fits in this category here..

That's why I used quotes for "realism." If you require historical accuracy then, no, it will not meet your REQ. Thus the comments I made about it.
"Sci Fi" and "Parallel Universe" are convenient close fits, for lack of more perfect keywords.
It is a fairly immaculate telling of a story that could have happened in the middle of the last century if our world had followed a slightly different path going into and coming out of WWI. "Parallel Universe" is a bit too strong; "Alternate Timeline" or "Alternate History" would be a bit more precise. The events depicted are very significantly based upon the real history of the Russian vs. U.S. space race ... had it occurred in Asia a decade or so earlier.
[ EDIT: @Al_Sleeper - thus, I stand corrected. Thank you! In my memory, I was sure it was Earth; clearly not. I need about six months with nothing to do but watch anime. So many new titles on my pile, and I want to re-watch about a hundred+ I've loved over the years ... :-\ ]
