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

    I saw Godzilla Minus One recently and wow, that hit close to home. My mother grew up in post-war Japan and had the whole survivor guilt thing. Nearly tossed herself off a bridge.

    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)

    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.

    Monster (2023). Went under the radar for mainstream audiences, but it’s an excellent film.

    I like Red Lion. It isn’t either genre, but it is a feudal Japanese film that is filled with a surprising amount of comedy. Could be of interest to you if you can tolerate older movies. Shin Gojira and Gojira Minus One are also both good, but unfortunately don’t fit in the genres you suggested either.
