Any scifi(?) that’s very well written, dives deep into a character driven arc through some sciencey premise (id prefer there not being overshadowing hard scifi explanations so the actual character writing and theming can shine- but its fine in moderation). Freud/Jung stuff, identity complexes, ship of theseus- i can get into any of these concepts/ideas if the story does it outstandingly well. I know that there’s different styles of storytelling between hemispheres, and also between mediums, but im just looking for something in the ballpark in creating a complex and compelling character/narrative with a great conclusion. I also hope for it to be moderately entertaining and not feel like the worst drag ever for minimum literary merit.
Edit: a couple other scifi anime i thought were interesting were Ergo Proxy and Texhnolyze (latter one was very slow though- both had great endings tho)
