Just found an anime about Agartha, the city inside the earth theory

It is called Children Who Chase Lost Voices or Journey to Agartha. Starts a bit slow and the main character is a young girl but it seems really interesting.
It is like an anime Journey To The Center Of The Earth with a mystical twist instead of being scientific.

I can already tell it is a very beautiful and deep movie, seems the focus is about losing loved ones which I know many of us can relate too.
Very beautiful animation, reminds me of a Myazaki movie! For a minute I thought I found a movie from my childhood I have searched for but this came out in 2011

Great movie, love the part where she converts to Islam and dons her burka, never to show her shame in public again, best ending ever.

I missed it I guess but just saw it on demand and was instantly interested. The animation is absolutely beautiful!
I am near the end and so far is has been equally sad and inspiring, all around very moving anime.

Yeah that ending got pretty dark for a minute Still it was a very touching story about life and death and I felt it portrayed many aspects of life very well.
I will have to get this one on DVD one day, could be an interesting movie to watch tripping aside from the couple darker parts. I love love loved the animation

The god of Agartha at the end reminded me of FMA brotherhood actually and the strange creature on the other side of the gate I need to re watch that, such an amazing show!
Ghost in the shell is on my watch list as well, I saw a lot of it as a kid but never watched any of the series or movies back to back.

Well Agartha is an actual myth, the rest of it seemed more of a loose spiritual/ mystical aspect. There were a lot of cool random concepts though.
The ark of the covenant/ god and all the spirits were really cool,
This reminded me of a few other random anime I need to watch.
I wonder if I am up for trying to watch through Berserk

I was talking about GitS the original movie based of the manga
Berserk isn't as violent as people make you believe you can watch the original episodes online, it's a stupid 1990's kids/teens show in japan lol

I am not sure I have seen the original Gita movie I realized last night.
Also have you actually watches berserk? 
I only watched some but it gets pretty damn dark. The movie trilogy is the darkest anime I remember watching as a kid aside from elfin lied now that is a traumatic anime...

Have you seen the movie Iron sky 2??
The earth is hollow and inhabitid by reptilians.
A reptillian sarah palin starts world war 3 so that a T-rex hitler may start his invasion from the earths core with his reptilian army.
Pretty deep shit

The majority of anime is Shonen it seems, or for an even younger demographic. I can appreciate some Shonen still but a lot of it is clearly for kids 
There isn't enough Seinen out there sadly, the few I have found I really enjoyed though. Dimension W is the one I can think of right now 
It may be for teenagers but I am pretty sure Berserk is way darker and more brutal then Gits, but the latter is a sci fi and is way more intellectual clearly.
I can appreciate both for different reasons. Berserk just has one of the darkest fantasy settings I remember seeing in an anime, crazy ass demons and stuff.

Pretty sure I remember blood and nudity but it has been years I definitely remember people being ripped apart/ eaten by demons...
Are you talking about the new berserk or the old one? Also I have been considering just reading the manga perhaps.
Anyways those are 2 of the least important aspects in an show I appreciate nudity and gore as much as the next guy in certain situations at least.
But I will gladly take an intense story with out either over a super bloody/ sex filled show with a terrible plot. Berserk and Gits both have interesting plots IMO.

If you don't mind a little plot spoilers here is a loose overview:
It is about 2 guys who die and are duplicated by a super computer to partake in a game of sorts where they have to hunt down and kill aliens
It is a very violent and sexual show I believe, I remember really enjoying the sci fi aspect of it too

Your missing out, there is a lot of really amazing obscure anime. Pretty much every one of the craziest/ deepest/ most original shows/ films I have seen have been anime.
There is a lot of crap too just like with everything these days but I have seen so many beautiful/ deep psychedelic concepts in random anime 
Been meaning to check out the new JoJo series that has been coming out. The original is pretty interesting, had a friend recommend it to me.

Sadly a few of the best anime I have seen are only subbed and may never get dubbed. I know some people don't mind but I hate reading as I watch crazy shows.
It really throws a wrench in the immersion I get when an incredible story sucks me in and I can't stop binging it

Just wanted to say I finished gantz and while some of the anime is alright it has a lot of downsides.
The ending sucked and apparently (no surprise) the manga is much better and also has near 400 chapters! I may start reading it soon.
I really liked parts of the story, some of the most brutal social commentary I have seen in a long time. It is a very sadistic show though and even makes fun of it in the first few episodes. Really though it just shows a lot of fucked up sadistic humans as social commentary which is pretty powerful. Stuff like hobo hunting or people just standing by and or taking pictures when others die instead of helping 
It gets pretty damn dark, I am excited to read the manga though as I really like parts of the plot and characters which are better in the manga.

The ending was just super vague. I also read almost the entire second season is filler.
They also apparently left out some important characters from the manga.
If you think gantz is dark stay away from Elfin Lied 
I read about how dark that was as a kid and stupidly watched it with a friend... Very traumatic to say the least.
