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.
Paprika, Tokyo Godfathers, and Satoshi Kon’s other works are some of the most imaginative and strikingly edited films out there.
Ghost Stories was a pretty bog-standard anime, but they gave the English translators free reign with most of the lines, so it ended up fucking wild.
The only other anime I know is Sailor Moon cuz that cartoon has the boom anime babies that make me think the wrong thing.

:disgost: WHY
Mob Psycho 100 is about a high schooler (Mob) with insane psychic powers who wants nothing more than to get over his inability to connect with people and be ‘cool’. He works part time with a conman psychic who ‘teaches’ him life lessons, and he constantly is torn between his desire to fit in and his desire to do good in the world with his power. It’s written as a mostly light hearted series, that has a lot of great characters and deep character moments where each main character learns from each other how to be better people, each being affected by each other’s views on life around them. I’d highly recommend giving it a go :)
