Monster and Bakumatsu Kikansetsu are two anime aimed at anime fans looking for a deeper story with a dark atmosphere. While Bakumatsu does have some romance which Monster doesn't have, the flow is very alike and there's plenty of mystery and even a similar sense of evil.
>Gunbuster is the Directorial debut of Hideaki Anno, of Evangelion fame, and you can see many similarities. Gunbuster does two elements particularly well, tell a complete, emotional story in a short timespan, and delve deeply into it’s characters, making it a believable and immersive sci-fi/Mecha experience.
>Нереальные образы, перетекающие один в другой, персонажи, которые кажутся то одним и тем же, то разными, а то и вовсе превращаются в лучи света. Невероятный трип под такую же беснующуюся музыку. Ну и остальные участники Genuis Party тоже прекрасны.
>Это аниме, кстати, очень любил сам Хаяо Миядзаки. Очень размеренный, немного мрачный и таинственный, с невероятной атмосферой мультфильм — сказочной, глубокой, местами жутковатой, как во снах. Мне кажется, лучше всего его смотреть одному.
See >It is an anime about two female assassins. It has practically no fanservice, and absolutely no silly stuff. These two women go on missions and murder people. It is a very sedate series with excellent music and atmosphere.
?.. >Great show by Ikuhara with tons of societal commentary dealing with lesbianism in Japan. Some of which symbolic yes, but it's very obvious symbolism. Check out the reviews on this site too as you watch because they're great to understand the historical background of lesbian issues in Japan.
