An effective, more classical approach to horror that lets the supernatural stay supernatural. While being somewhat one-note near the end, it does its job of keeping you up for a night or two.
Another
ODDTAXI: In the Woods
A reframing/retelling of the main series that is slightly more condensed, and with a tiny amount of new content/story. Not suitable to watch "instead of" the main series, but to be done after.
ODDTAXI
An absolutely amazing mystery, crime, drama ride that simultaneously feels very comfortable and very dangerous.
In/Spectre
An interesting mystery and exploration of truth with strong classically Japanese cultural spirits, albeit with somewhat shallow and annoying characters at times.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0
A fantastic prequel with a slightly more serious tone than the original series, and fantastic acting and animation.
Ghost in the Shell 2.0
An important, seminal cyberpunk experience that has aged a little since 1995, but still an interesting piece that cements the genre.
Great Pretender
With a more adult tone than most anime, this felt like Cowboy Bebop meets Matchstick Men in a bright, bold, modern style. Definitely worth checking out.
Lord El-Melloi II’s Case Files {Rail Zeppelin} Grace Note
A fun (though verbose) Fate/Zero spinoff that channels the vibes of Sherlock Holmes, Hogwarts, and the Fate Universe, with a myriad of cameos from other Fate entries.
Higurashi: When They Cry
Despite poor animation, Higurashi brings a unique and potent horror experience that will stick with you for days or weeks on end.
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
This is the best anime movie from a TV series that I've seen. KyoAni's love for their craft is strongly felt here in a beautiful and emotional piece. All the good of Haruhi improved while trimming all eye-roll moments.
