I like sci-fi and fantasy
I do like comedy anime when it’s mixed with slice of life but I’m not sure if that will If I will like movies like that
Your Name is one of my most favourite films, it’s about bodyswapping.
Evangelion 1-4 are incredible sci-fi, but the TV series it’s based on is arguably superior (or at least, should really be watched first).
Shin Ultraman is very fun if you like campy live action sci-fi.
I highly recommend Perfect Days. Lovely little movie.
I like sci-fi and fantasy films, too, but most of the Japanese ones that come to mind are very well known already, so I’ll include some other stuff as well:
Seven Samurai (1954)
The Castle of Cagliostro (1979)
Tampopo (1985)
Minbo (1992)
Shall We Dance? (1996)
After Life (1998)
Spirited Away (2001)
5 Centimeters per Second (2007)
Throne of Blood (1957)
It’s Macbeth, but in feudal Japan. One of the best films I’ve ever seen. I’m constantly reminded of it while watching Shōgun.
Monster (2023). Went under the radar for mainstream audiences, but it’s an excellent film.
