I like science fiction movies and series of all kinds, as long as the story is good. In the past I watched one or two Japanese science fiction movies and remember that I liked them very much (I don’t remember the titles, though).
Do you have any recommendation about Japanese science fiction movies and TV shows that you consider good? Thank you.
If you havent already, watch Shin Godzilla.
It’s amazing. There’s a spiritual sequel coming out soon too.
^Boosting this as it’s the only non-anime suggestion atm.
I just watched this and thought it was decent. Directed by Hideaki Anno, known best for Neon Genesis Evangelion, and it’s pretty apparent. The montages of button down politicians and scientists working in sync, filing into perfectly symmetrical makeshift office spaces, and standing at attention like they’re military personnel felt very familiar. I saw a review afterwards that called it “The Dunkirk of Godzilla Movies” which I found hilariously accurate.
I’ll also throw in the very aged, but influential Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)
I never realized it was made by Anno. The dude loves bureaucracy and infrastructure in motion.
Lol that’s pretty accurate.
There’s a Shin Ultra Man too, but I haven’t seen it.
What’s the sequel??? Is it also Anno?
Godzilla: Minus One.

Sounds cool but without Anno I’m not sure they can recapture the magic of that film
I wouldn’t expect the same movie. It seems to have the same tone and atmosphere though. I’m looking forward to it.
