Imomushi
|
The perverse and the taboo; the disgusting and the abject; to go beyond one's threshold of acceptability. Imomushi (the Caterpillar) reveals the extremes of depravity to which a housewife must arrive in order to maintain face and the appearances recquired by 1920's Japan. If you loved its beauty covered by horrors, check out Kore ga Geijitsu (This is Art) and its psychological horror dressed with eroticism; on it a we are shown a collection of the sexually deranged go on with their sprees of abjection. If The Caterpillar shows the typical people on extreme situations, This Is Art shows the extreme on typical situations-

Reiraku

Inio Asano (author of Reiraku) admittedly read Yoshiharu Tsuge's "Worthless Man", a classic of Gekiga. Art about the trade of art, both of these manga are pessimistic insights into the results of following one's most intimate dreams. Asano's "Downfall" might make you frown with disgust at its unrepentant honesty and selfishness; Tsuge's "Useless Man" might pull out the most compassionate sighs when it presents to you its crushing apathetic universe.

Kaze no Tani no Nausicaä
|
After the apocalypse there are still oppresors, refugees, greed and life-missions that will make Killy (BLAME!) and Nausicaä (duh) experience countless of battles in worlds beyond our imagination. Blame! is more action-oriented and defenetly more nihilist while Nausicaä more idealistic and misantrophic

Solanin

Solanin and planetes are totally different in concept, but the execution and feeling are the same. Realist, dramatic, nostalgic and inspiring works of fiction about people fighting themselves, the world and striving for something else. Planetes is much more idealistic, Solanin more cynical
