Alright I’ve been toying with the idea of getting into anime for a long time but the genre is vast and I’m not easily hooked. Pitch me a show or film that’s really, REALLY different. Not necessarily out there for the sake of it but artistically or thematically in a class of its own.

Bc it’s a median for storytelling and I wanna give it a chance beyond just a few Miyazaki films

Paprika, Tokyo Godfathers, and Satoshi Kon’s other works are some of the most imaginative and strikingly edited films out there.

Revolutionary Girl Utena

It’s about lesbians escaping the patriarchy with cool swordfights. Also a girl turns into a cow and lays an egg (not in the same episode). It really makes the most of its low budget. Oh, and it’s uploaded to youtube in its entirety. Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TQFlVcPyUA&list=PLrrh84y760v-hDEulas0Tp_wiQy0FcjLl&index=1

don’t skip the recap episodes

The movie is great too, it’s got some really beautiful art and imagery and is every bit as weird as the show.
