In common sense, blind is the worst factor as a katana fighter. Means Zathoichi is not a real but some symbol of resist spirit of ruled people by katana, samurai.

Fantastic thank you

Throne of Blood is a Japanese version of Shakespeare’s MacBeth including ghosts & witches.

My Brother-in -Law & I used to watch Samurai shows, on Saturday nights, just like our Western TV series of the 50-60’s most in black & White. One featured a blind Swordsman another a traveling masseuse Swordsman another a gaudy loud & flashy well-dressed Swordsman. All of course used their swords for good & featured well-done & well-rehearsed fight scenes. Most were in Japanese but like watching soap-operas. You can pretty much figure out what’s happening by watching them beginning to end.

nice video, but anime is reference the origen, like champagne ( France)or the cheese -parmesano, gouda...) the corean films are not anime. there animation style anime

Hi - really enjoying your content! One thing in regard to this video, which is otherwise excellent, is that Suspiria is not a giallo film. It seems over the past decade or two, the term giallo has come to be synonymous with any Italian film with bloody murder set-pieces. However, gialli are very specifically murder mysteries, generally a police procedural, without any overt supernatural elements. If you look further, there is a lot written out there on this very subject; Suspiria is a departure-point from gialli for Argento [to briefly return with Tenebre, and a few lesser films much later in his career].

you had me at Zato...

Please i want some more.

For me, the scariest anime is the grave of the fireflies. Although the story isn't actually scary, I'm scared of the idea to watch it again...

Akira is scary? One of the scariest? 🤦‍♂️

I'm a new fan and I hope you get rich from UA-cam

You have a cool accent and you are very funny I don't have to explain anime to you you already know what it is

For anyone wanting to add a couple more honorable mentions to this great list -- I highly recommend "Shiki" and "Serial Experiments Lain".

I have to rent that,the ending was something else.

Belladonna of Sadness is amazingly beautiful!! a masterpiece! i recommend to anyone!

ill take ya up on that Kawajiri deep dive !!

Zato is not lowest rank in society, in these movies and series it means masseuse. ua-cam.com/video/UqgXFS3aYK4/v-deo.html&ab_channel=SAMURAIVSNINJA

Always in groups. A cultural affectation.

you forgot HILE GERIMA from ethiopia

They are amazing. Watch anyone of the over 20 and its going to be good. He is a bad ass but he is funny as hell at the same time. I mean the guy flicks a booger in some jerks tea when he isnt looking. He is smoking a pipe in one movie and a guy starts messing with him and he blows the burning tobacco out and it shoots into the guys eyeball.All the girls love him but he always leaves them hanging. The series is just as good also

A thought regarding other incarnations of Godzilla on film, covering the span of everything you mention in both this video, and the previous one: I do think that the reincarnation of Godzilla as protector, as nature, as a slightly goofy hero is sort of a way to redigest something which was, let's face it, born from trauma. Embracing things that could or have destroyed us, or framing them within fantasy, reinventing them with a silver lining - all of these can also be really effective ways to deal with and process terror and trauma. See Guillermo del Toro's Chronos, Devil's Backbone and Chronos in particular for example. Additionally, Japan's own embracing of the character as a cultural icon also fits not only for all of the above, but for the economic and (film) industrial bridges it built with the rest of the world, namely the US itself (see direct domino effect of this leading to cyberpunk/ Blade Runner tropes of depicting Asian/ Japanese corporate, technological and economic growth/ power). I think, and this isn't an original thought, in many ways Godzilla can be seen as a hero in that way, too. Children cheering for Godzilla as a hero? Possibly yet another way to process and navigate the multi-generational trauma preceding that era as well. (also, marketability... sigh) Personally, I enjoy both. I enjoy Gojira/ Godzilla films for their horror, as well as giving us the opportunity to side with those (existential) horrors. It's easier to sit with that which fascinates us as well as terrifies us if we can also laugh at them at the same time, you know? Kind of how when we sit around with our friends and/or family telling horrible stories from our childhoods while having a laugh. Same for grief and other pain. Sometimes you just have to smile or laugh with it. The horror of inevitable destruction made incarnate as a vehicle for our processing of it. Other times morbid curiosity prevails, and we can't help but immerse ourselves in those existential fears - Alien, Annihilation and other films like them come to mind. Those which thrive on weaponizing our place in an incomprehensibly vast unknowable universe and what might be awaiting us simply for existing in it.

Amazing video, amazing channel.

I agree with you. But definitely add devil man 🦇

most of my favorites were on here and the whole time I'm thinking I'm gonna suggest Perfect Blue then its number 1 😂. Great list.

Comment

This is real anime. Not that dragon ball z, high school super hero bullshit all the dorks watch.

Yo - anime just means animation - just a foreign word for animation - Shrek is an anime..........if you mean Japanese animated movie - the word is and has always been MANGA! Can't wait till people get it right!

Midori is a masterpiece of horror animation!

I would have included the Blue Gender movie in the place of either Akira or Paprika.

I’d say the best horror is Pikachu pet detective 😱😱😱😱 believe this film left me sickened 🤨

without further ado = 30 seconds of visual and music before #10.

LMAO. Realism is not misogyny. women have always needed men to protect them since the dawn of humanity. Typical American woke feminist bull excrement.

Knew to this cinematic style and information. Would like to see some of these Japanese movies myself.

misogyny? i'll be watching that one

Great list. I only need to see king of pigs. Perfect blue is in my all time top 3. Off the top of my head I would add Blood the last vampire, demon city, harmagedon and possibly robot carnival and ghost in the shell. Definitely enough for another video

Not a feature but part of Animatrix.. The Second Renaissance. My favourite anime.

As an assault survivor I found Belladonna of Sadness empowering. Jeane refuses to be the broken flower everyone wants her to be. She refuses to disappear and will not allow anyone to stop her from enjoying her sexuality as she wants. She's a badass and I love her for it.

Jubei does have a special technique, its shown that he projects a strike from his sword swing.

ehh....... you should watch yami shibai s01ep01 there is a reason its a long running horror anime. the jerkiness of the camera, the unrefined style of animation, the very low framerate, everything make it scary. for more modern anime check shiki, parasyte, and mieroku chan.

In King of Pigs, for some reason, I see similarities, perhaps even a reference to Lord of the Flies

Oh no... he has a robotic arm... ffs.

I hope I can get the time to watch all of these. Thank you for the list! You should definitely do more videos on 80s/90s anime. :)

You put a lot of cool recommendations my way! Thanks! Great video btw I love your editing and your commentary. Just earned a sub!

Thanks for sharing this video! One of my favorite film podcasts, Scene By Scene, discussed the trilogy and the meanings within each film, earlier this year. They covered it so well, excellent discussion!

Please do the Kawajiri video 🙏

Mifune was awesome, in one movie he and Ichi face off, and both survive though injured. That’s my favorite.

fun fact 15:13 zatoichi and yoshiro actors are actually brothers! they even look similar!

Nice. Fun fact, they used real swords in Harakiri 1962.
