Kowloon Generic Romance

Kowloon Generic Romance is anything but generic. Its tale of past, present, and retro-futuristic relationships makes it one of the most intriguing love stories to come along in ages.

In a reimagined, neon-grimy version of Hong Kong’s Kowloon Walled City, introverted real-estate agent Reiko Kujirai spends her days trading snark, sharing lunches, and quietly catching feelings for her loud, charming ‘work spouse’, Hajime Kudou. Her life here may be mundane, but for Reiko, this chaotic maze of a city is equal parts heaven, hell, and something dreamlike in between.

But dreams have cracks. Reiko begins experiencing strange flashes of another life, and everything tilts when she finds a photo of Hajime with a woman who looks unsettlingly like her. As she tries to grasp memories she’s sure she once had, she edges closer to a truth that was never meant to resurface.

Based on Jun Mayuzuki’s manga, this cyberpunk noir is a must-watch for fans of ’80s–’90s sci-fi classics like Ghost in the Shell, Akira, and Cowboy Bebop — nostalgic, stylish, and just the right amount of weird.

dandadan


Dandadan

Momo Ayase is a gyaru (the Japanese equivalent of a valley girl) who believes in ghosts but not aliens, while the nerdy Ken Takakura (whom Momo later nicknames ‘Okarun’) believes in aliens but not ghosts. The two high-schoolers challenge each other to a dare — Momo will visit an abandoned hospital rumoured to be an alien-abduction site, while Okarun will visit a tunnel reportedly haunted by a spirit known as Turbo Granny.

No prizes for guessing both are proven right — Momo is kidnapped by extraterrestrials intent on extracting her reproductive organs, while Okarun is possessed by a sadistic and foul-mouthed spirit. Cue a wild, hilarious ride of supernatural chaos, flying punches, and missing body parts.

Directed by Fûga Yamashiro and based on Yukinobu Tatsu’s Shonen Jump manga, Dandadan is a uniquely bizarre blend of horror, sci-fi, and rom-com energy — imagine The X-Files meets Danny Phantom with anime-style absurdity.

rurouni kenshin


Rurouni Kenshin (Kyoto Disturbance)

It is easy to underestimate Himura Kenshin, the diminutive and polite vagabond hero of Nobuhiro Watsuki’s shōnen manga. Once the legendary assassin known as Hitokiri Battōsai (sword-drawing manslayer), Kenshin has taken a vow to never kill again and to protect the innocent.

In this remake of the anime adaptation (so, essentially, a second anime adaptation), Kenshin is informed of a threat to the Meiji government named Shishio Makoto. Leader of the feared Jūppongatana (Ten Swords) gang, Shishio had survived a burning that left him disfigured and wrapped in bandages. Can Kenshin stop this deadly mummy without reneging on his oath to never use lethal force?

The ‘Kyoto arc’ is widely loved among fans for its fight scenes and the showdown between Kenshin and Shishio, with the arc not only featured in the original ’90s anime, but also getting two-part live-action films, Kyoto Inferno and The Legend Ends. With a third season of the anime remake on the way, the wandering swordsman’s journey to redemption is far from over.
