Mad props for recommending ‘Dead Set’, watched the first 2 eps last night and I already love it.

I haven’t read the manga, but the anime is an instant classic for any sci-fi fan. Something in a similar vein is Paprika, it’s about a psychologist that has a machine that allows them to enter a patient’s dreams and I won’t say anything else, lest I spoil it.
Last, but not least Cowboy Bebop. Chances are you’ve seen it, but it’s a really poetic show, in a laconic kind of way. I don’t even like anime that much and it’s easily one of my favorite series out of all genres.

And on a completely unrelated note, I recently saw a mockumentary (if you could call it that) that I feel you might really enjoy. It’s called “Punishment Park”. Check it out if you have time.

Thanks! It’s been a while since I’ve watched anime, but heck if it’s good science fiction then why not?

@Eldge

Oh that’s a show my friend wants me to watch too! Alright, bumping it up my list :)

@Mr B

Read about that in Wikipedia! I have that on my list.

The other thing I forgot to recommend. Check out ‘Dead Set.’ It’s a zombie outbreak satire set in a Big Brother situation (the horrid reality tv show).

It is a six part series that has just finished on C4 called Utopia. WATCH IT NOW…you will not regret it.

Im not even gonna give you a synopsis….just enjoy.

As for GiTs, It’s pretty good, though I have my complaints (Though usually its the same problems all anime has, not anything entirely specific to the show.) I flip flop on how I feel about it.
It obviously has roots in classic Sci-Fi literature. When it comes down to it though nothing beats the classics and this show just sparks my interest for them more than anything.
(though let me be clear GitS is still enjoyable, despite my general aversion to anime.)

When it comes to hidden sci-fi gems one that I recall is ‘the lost room’ It’s been a while since I watched it – I’d recommend checking it out if you can find it. – It’s been a while though so maybe Im looking through rose-colored glasses. Good sci-fi seems like it can be hard to come by sometimes so you gotta take it where you can get it, heh.

P.S. It’s been a while, but if I recall second gig is pretty bland.

Thanks! I’m watching it right now. Mr. Brooker is really an intelligent and articulate man no doubt about it. I’m beginning to hold him in the same esteem as Christopher Nolan, Andrew Niccol, and classical studies author Robert Greene.

As a previous poster suggested, youtube anything Charlie Brooker related- particularly his annual ‘news wipe’ and hilarious ‘game swipe’ In fact here’s a link-

No dude, I would never think of you as a stalker. I really appreciate your thoughts on almost all of my articles. Yeah, I’m not quite normal. A typical conversation for me would be debating with a friend whether or not robots should have the same rights as humans in the future lol Let me know what you think okay? It would be cool if there was some platform where we could all talk about the stuff we like :)

@James

Yes, I will check that out! Thanks

@trashcanman

Hey there! Wow, I just looked up Ghost in the Shell. Do you recommend I watch the anime or read the manga?

@Draugr

Awesome! Let me know what you think :)
