Retro Futurism and Telekinesis
Being an avid anime watcher like myself, I have way too many recommendations to give out on what’s the best to watch out there. I am a big fan of the late 80s feature film Akira. It circles around a biker gang leader named Kaneda trying to get back his friend Tetsuo who has been kidnapped by the government in a dystopian, futuristic, neo-Tokyo, set in what’s supposed to be 2019. When Kaneda and his gang try to take him back, they come to find out that he has psychic powers, which proves a problem for them. It’s a very action packed, visually pleasing, and sometimes even disturbing film to look at. This movie has a lot of aspects about it that you might want to search for in different titles. If you like futuristic films such as this, especially films that embody the retrofuturism of the 90s, then Blade Runner and Back to the Future: Part 2 are both excellent choices to capture that from. In one way or another, they manage to make great depictions of a what a futuristic world would have entailed from the perspective of the late 80s and early 90s, covering things from cybernetic augmentations, to vehicles, to holographic advertisements, to outlandish clothes and patterns, etc. These films accomplish the task of painting a unique, aesthetically pleasing image of the future while still conveying a very interesting plot. Blade Runner is brimming with urban and cyberpunk elements of what’s supposed to be a 90s depiction of what would come in the coming times. Even though they are set in their respective timelines. Both Blade Runner and Akira keep traditional elements for their environments. Akira, being set in 2019 Neo-Tokyo Japan, displays holographic advertisements of traditional Asian women, just like Blade Runner does with their outlook on a futuristic Chinatown in 2019 Los Angeles.

I tried this method of searching and it worked
If I could travel back in time and whisper one word to my younger self, what would it be? Anime! I was drastically late in boarding the anime train. However, better late than never—this saying doesn’t universally apply to every situation in life so practice at your own risk. In my youth I did occasionally dabble in: Dragon Ball Z, Pokémon, and Digimon. Sadly, such shows are merely crumbs of what makes up the anime world.

If You Liked Fruits Basket Then You Will Love Kamisama Kiss
I feel like every anime and manga buff I talk to knows of or has emersed themselves in the sweet slice-of-life known as Fruits Basket. It is an adorable animation that pulls at your heartstrings. The show seemingly wears its own mask of sickly sweetness. A façade that they address beautifully as they zoom into the ugly undertones of life. This show is every bit far fetched, but these revealing moments humanize the characters and makes them relatable to the audience. When the audience is finished, emptiness and longing for more settles heavily upon them.

WANO KUNI- LAND OF SAMURAIS
One piece manga has completed 1000 chapters a few weeks ago. So I want to give my personal opinions about the land of Wano which a closed and isolated country from the world. Though it enjoys the power not to obey World Government but it also lost the protection from the navy, a unit of World Government.

ANIME DEDICATED TO TEACHERS WHO ARE TRUE TO THEIR PROFESSION
Assassination classroom is an anime series that is mainly based on assassination but it has shown an ideal teacher. The teacher-student relationship is a secondary plot of the series but I found that presentation very interesting. Teaching is one of the pure and responsible professions in society. It is the job of a teacher to guide young minds to pave their path in the future.
