  • It sounds like you tend to like shows with good story lines, and don’t seem to mind older shows/animation as much. Simply based on their story telling, these are probably my 3 favorites.

    • Monster (2004): The story revolves around Kenzo Tenma, a Japanese surgeon living in Düsseldorf, Germany whose life enters turmoil after getting himself involved with Johan Liebert, one of his former patients, who is revealed to be a dangerous serial killer.
    • Ergo Proxy (2006): Set in a post-apocalyptic future where humans and AutoReiv androids coexist peacefully until a virus gives the androids self-awareness, causing them to commit a series of murders. Inspector Re-L Mayer is assigned to investigate, discovering a more complicated plot behind it that involves a humanoid species known as “Proxy” who are the subject of secret government experiments.
    • Fruits Basket (1998, but the 2019 remake is miles better and more complete): This is a beautiful story about trauma, love, guilt, and belonging. Don’t be put off by the typical highschool slice of life trope. This is probably the most wholesome, heartwarming show I have ever watched. I’ve seen it 3 times, and on the most recent rewatch I cried the most. Probably every 1 of 4 episodes. I kept realizing subtle plot details I had never noticed before. It has great rewatch value.

    Um, okay. That doesn’t really address my comment though.

    I’m not going to sit here and pretend the US doesn’t have an absurdly high per Capita incarceration rate or that there aren’t better examples of democratic governments in the world.

    I was just pointing out that it makes sense how low the “official” statistics are when they don’t include, for example, any of the Uighurs in reeducation camps.
