Discussion Psychologically heavy anime, movies or videogames?

[LonelyPrince]

Does anyone know of any good psychological or philosophical shows/videogames?

I've recently watched takopi's original sin and orb: on the movements of the earth and now I'm craving this sort of stuff.

One that's been forgotten in a lot of circles that I adore is Haibane Renmei.

it's an oldie but The Seventh Seal it's really good.

I would appreciate it if you sent it. Thank you!

It's best to pirate it, the people who made the game encourage it (bunch of drama around a company taking over and kicking them off of their own project). The community usually keeps a download up. Anyways, enjoy

I love monster. It's one of my favorite animes. Never heard of the last one, I'll check it out.

Yesterday I watched this movie: "All about Lily chou-chou".

It has the psychological thematic you want, but there is some pretty dark things that I don't even want to say or spoil it for you, just warning that it can be pretty triggering.

But if you're okay with that I recommend, I liked it very much :D
The soundtrack in this movie is amazing.

I'm a fan of NieR: Automata (androids fighting a proxy war for extinct humans). It has cycles of violence, meaning without purpose, and one of the most existentialist endings. You have to play it multiple times by design in order to see everything.

Memento. Have seen it a million times. Maybe my favourite film of all time

 

[HopelessScientist]

I recently watched watatabe. It kind of reminds me of how loved I am, but that in a sense, those who love me are obstacles to my goal, and I am a threat to their happiness.

Not really sure how heavy it is compared to the rest of these bc I actually don't watch a lot of anime, but I really liked Paranoia Agent. I bingewatched it all in one night last year.
One episode actually features a group of 3 people (a queer man, an elderly chronically ill man, and a little girl) who meet up offline to kill themselves after meeting on an online chatroom like this website.

Alright u guys got me hooked. I remember trying monster a while back , but i guess i will give it another shot.
Also a piece of media i rly love that talks about suicide has to be wristcutters: a love story. Its goofy but it tickled the right part of my brain

 

[Mrlostman]

I'd recommend anything by sugaru miaku. His books are really good and i got the same vibes when i watched takopi. Theres also like welcome to the nhk but its been a while since i watched that so im not sure anymore.

"All about Lily chou-chou".

I second this. Watched it randomly one day without ever hearing of it before and it was an amazing movie. The soundtrack is so good too.
