A 1988 anime masterpiece set in cyberpunk Neo-Tokyo. The film follows a group of biker-gang teens as they try to rescue their friend who has been captured by the Japanese government for experimental science. The end of the movie transcends all reason and is better felt than comprehended.

A classic in its own right~
Spearheaded by Otomo (Creator of Akira)
3 Back-to-Back Anime films by 3 different directors. Magnetic Rose, Stink Bomb and Cannon Fodder: all as cohesive as they are stylishly animated. If you’re into Sci-fi and wild worlds with rich characters I highly recommend giving it a watch ✨

An absolute classic, I do recommend all Satoshi Kon movies, and his serialized anime Paranoia Agent. But I would start with his biggest classic Perfect Blue.
The animation is beautiful, the character designs look very distict and each location feels very specific, specially Mima's room, giving a real sense of personhood to the character.
The story features Kon's critique of not only Japanse mass entertainment, but celebrity culture in general. It feels specially relevant in curret days where the concept of having a persona separate from yourself feels more and more common for most people.

The trend right now is to find new things that guys are rawdogging. But fam, just rawdog everything. No headphones, no scrolling, no constant inundation with media. Just exist. And then consume media intentionally during dedicated times where you can truly focus on it.
kinda retro if you think about it

If you’re hungry, but don’t really wanna buy food, you can just fill up on beer. It’s got calories, tastes good, and makes you feel nice. And it’ll make you feel bloated just like if you’ve eaten a big meal. life hack.
