Xenodu.

A Fantasy, A Musical, A Place Where Dreams Come True.

Aqueous transmission is still a song that never fails to get a “Okay, what song is this?” whenever I play it for someone.

My favourite incubus album without a doubt.

Alot of the serious things that people here already mentioned, unable to see a bright future for humanity. Cant afford a house of your own, etc.

But another thing that affects me day to day is Seeing stray cats and dogs on the side of the road. They just make me sad and then i have the urge to help them. And then realizing that i cannot help them all.

People who litter. Throw their rubbish out the window of the car. Or who throw rubbish in public, like into drains or sidewalks.

It’s in the mentality, and I say the lack of education is the reason for it.

It’s sad to see the people of my country do this, and to see it with your own eyes.

Love the list that you have compiled. Will check out a few of those which i have not yet read. Thank you…

As you mentioned Ghost in the Shell, i will cheat as well and include Akira. I think everyone will be more familiar with the 1988 anime adaptation, but the manga is the source material which tells a more complex story compared to the condensed two hour anime. Both the anime and manga are made by the same person, Katsuhiro Otomo.

I think both the anime / manga got a lot of things eerily right about the future, with all the political unrest and even predicted the Tokyo Olympics.
