I don’t know yet so kind of bouncing around.

The Ghibil movies are great. I loved loved Valley of the Wind. Howls Moving Castle was good.

I watched several Full Metal Alchemist episodes but wasn’t feeling it. I think I watched a new Ghost in the Shell it was ok.

I really liked Demon King Daimao. Saga of Tonya the evil. Neon Genesis Evangaleon, so weird but great. I’m not sure what genres these would be considered

Nausicaa is my favorite among the Ghibli movies ❤️

I've never actually seen Neon Genesis Evangelion. Just one of those classics that I evaded me.

I'm unfamiliar with the others you mentioned though. Hope you enjoy your dive. I love anime as a medium for storytelling. It gets a bad rep from super fans.

Ok, I watched Akira and Ghost in the Shell. Both good but Akira was better. Ghost in the Shell spent whole 2-3 minutes on scenery and music but when it came to the ending it was like ok time to wrap this up we are out of money. Seemed rushed.

Will check out Cyberpunk now and see if that tickles my fancy
