Popular Enough to be known, obscure enough to feel special:

  1. Odd Taxi (Anime): A middle-aged walrus drives a taxi. The dialogue feels like a Tarantino movie. The entire plot is a mystery involving a missing girl, a mobile game, and a Yakuza group. The finale re-contextualizes the entire show. 12 episodes.
  2. Dorohedoro (Manga & Anime): A man with a lizard head hunts Sorcerers in a post-apocalyptic gritty city. The art is dirty, the characters are morally grey, and the female lead (Nikaido) is a terrifying chef. The anime is 3D CGI done right; the manga is finished and incredible.
  3. Golden Kamuy (Manga is superior): Set after the Russo-Japanese war. A soldier and an Ainu girl hunt for stolen gold hidden on the bodies of escaped prisoners. You will learn about Hokkaido cuisine, hunting traps, and see the most buff, silly men you have ever watched. History + Cooking + Action + Comedy.
