I am not categorical about this issue. This is just a personal approach, one that I find works well with people who dislike anime.

This is just my own pragmatic "solution" of sorts. It allows me to recommend Perfect Blue, Jin-Roh, The Sky Crawlers, Memories (to people who I think would enjoy them of course) by saying that "these pieces are animated, but they are more like a movie that happens to use animation, not an anime." And it works.

No idea regarding automation, but you can get (some) 4K TV series off rutracker (a public tracker).

The site itself is in russian, but search queries in English work perfectly.

Content from English speaking countries almost always (literally around ~99.9% of the time) includes the original English audio track. You will have to manually set language priority in your video client as russian audio is set as the default track, but this should be easy to do.

Keep in mind that non-English movies/series will include the original audio and a russian dub/VO, English dub/VO will not be included. English subs are typically provided for non-English content.

While this is technically an anime, I would argue the style and topic makes it more of an animated series that uses Japanese animation styling.

Honestly, I would even recommend Dallos if you don't like anime.

Thinking of re-starting Attack on the Titan.

I've only seen the first season back when it was released. The fact that there seem to be ~100 episodes is a little bit daunting (I honestly prefer shorter self-contained series).

Kalki 2898 AD sounds fun. Have not heard of it. Will have to check it out. Cheers!

Falling Stars

This looks cool. Thanks!

It's still a sci-fi movie, no? All post-apocalyptic movies are science fiction.

You're also welcome to give your suggestions. 😄 These are the 2024 movies that I watched and thought fit the bill.

• Alien Romulus - If you haven't already seen it.
• Dune Part 2 - You have to watch the first part if you haven't seen the newer Dune movies.
• Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - I thought this was very good, even though it doesn't really include the eponymous Mad Max

Less mainstream stuff:

• The Platform 2 - People complain it's not as good as the first one, but I thought it was solid. You don't really need to watch the first one.
• Abigail - More of a horror, but has fantasy elements
• V/H/S/Beyond - Horror, but has scifi elements (more than the previous entries)

For a second, I read that as remake of Fantastic Planet.

That would have been a plastic surgery disaster.

FWIW, the Lost World novel (on which the 2nd movie was based on) was solid. The movie was OK, but could have been much better.

This sounds like an interesting movie. Although I would hesitate to call it a documentary.

I can never say no to dystopian cyberpunk media.

For a second, I thought he was working on 1408, the horror movie with John Cusack based on a Stephan King story.
