text: I love anime and Japanese movies! Akira is one of the classics and Ghost in the Shell is good. If you want more extreme go for Legend of the Overfiend (its a bit mental but a classic). \nCheck out Appleseed too, http://www.appleseedthemovie.com/,  that's worth a watch. \nI personally like some of the more extreme Japanese movies (not necessarily animated). One of my favourite directors is Takashi Miike - if you've got a strong stomach check out Ichi the Killer (there's an animated version too) and Audition. Happy viewing!
