I have recently watched several Japanese animated productions and my curiosity has been picked regarding what other Japanese animated gems are there to enjoy?
This sudden curiosity about Japenese productions arose just after I started to watch a mystery/horror animated series called Another. So far I have only watched 3 episodes but I am loving it. I tried to remember if I have watched a horror animated series in the past and I can't remember anything like this series so it is a totally new experience for me. The most similar one would be Castlevania from Netflix but it is more about dark action than horror/mystery. Another Japanese animated series I am currently watching is the well-known Attack on Titan.
Regarding films and shorts, Your Name and Into the Forest of Firefly Lights were very intense and touching stories. Perfect Blue was an excellent thriller, and I also have to mention Ghost in the Shell which is pretty great.
I wonder what other animated Japanese productions for adults that are well worth the watch would you recommend? Preferred genres would be horror/mystery/thriller but drama could also be ok. So, what are your favorite Japanese animated/anime movies/series of all time?
