Why she in her undies.

For graphic novels:

I can't avoid bringing up Alan Moore's Watchmen. Probably the most influential graphic novel ever written, it is a masterpiece on every level. Even if you're not into superhero comics (which this is kind of a deconstruction of) the story stands on its own.

The Sandman series by Neil Gaiman. Feel free to pirate these considering Gaiman has turned out to be a piece of human garbage. But you can't deny the mastery of this series. Gothic, romantic fantasy with incredible depth, beauty and power.

Saga by Brian K. Vaughan is a popular space opera series by one of the best writers in comics. Just really charismatic and engaging, great art, great characters and a narrative that effortlessly carries you along for the ride.

Sweet Tooth by Jeff Lemire is a strange, unique post apocalypse story. Great writing and characters but very dark and the overarching plot is kind of weird (but not really the point of the story).

Preacher by Garth Ennis is a modern fantasy with some of the sharpest writing in comics and a brilliant concept. I'd compare it to a Tarantino film where the overarching story is just an excuse for razor sharp dialogue and ultra-stylish characters and scenes (but the overarching story is great, too). Be warned that Ennis loves over the top shock and gross outs, which I personally find tedious but put up with because the rest is so good. Note that I think the second half of the series (there's a major event and small time skip at this point) is kind of dull and self-indulgent and can essentially be avoided.

For manga:

Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed by Masamune Shirow are very influential and well known (in the west) scifi manga, but they are pretty dense and technical and not everyone's cup of tea. Both go into a lot of very detailed world building and politics, but also have some of the coolest Japanese cyberpunk action every put to page.

Berserk by Kentaro Miura is probably the most famous fantasy manga in the west. Unrelentingly dark and grim, it isn't to everyone's taste but the spectacular art and unique, epic story make it stand out in the genre. Contains some nasty sexual violence.

Fullmetal Alchemist is a steampunk fantasy setting with great characters and story. It's aimed at a younger audience but mostly avoids the common tropes and cliches of that style. Easy to read and charismatic series.

Akira is the obvious entry point, its a masterpiece.

The Shining Eyes.

Regardless of the messed up links, I think the bots are bad for the sub in general. They're consistently the lowest voted posts and add very little to the community, imo.

But I particularly hate the type of tunes they post, so maybe I'm not representative of the community and people would rather have more content rather than less but more curated content.

See if you can get your hands on a series of OVAs called Genocyber, it takes cyberpunk concepts to their extremes. Very dark and violent.

Also worth watching Wicked City if you haven't seen it. It's more supernatural than cyberpunk but has very CP vibes and atmosphere, it's a classic of the era.

Have you watched many other OVA from this era? This is the shit that got me into anime in my late teens and early 20s.

I think the drum breaks are pretty standard jungle, but thanks for the input!

The Wedding Singer. Even if you don't like Adam Sandler's usual schtick, he plays this completely straight and is really endearing. Great 80s soundtrack and Sandler and Barrymore are adorable and funny.

Streetcleaner definitely leans more into the metal side than industrial.

That's a small fraction of the promised final game.

Did I see Laidlaw's 400 Boys in there!?!? O_O

We taught a lion to eat tofu!

Absolute clickbait.

My wife and I watch The Thing at least twice a year.

Your reactions are very exaggerated, overly emotional and not actually grounded in reality. The French Alps don't actually smell like pig shit.

I much prefer the internet tbh, here I have control, if there’s something I don’t like, I don’t have to ever see it again, but I can also engage with it freely without the interaction ever escaping my control

You type this but then say that you're not hiding from anything? I'm sure psych textbooks could give you a name for this. Do you really not see a difference between "I don't litter to avoid attracting flies" and "I don't want to interact with any situations that I can't completely control"?

I find it all absolutely disgusting, and what’s even more disgusting is that these things can affect my unfortunate meat flesh prison

Nature is pain and agony

I’ve visited the French Alps as a kid and it smelled like pig shit

I much prefer the internet tbh, here I have control

These statements are all super dysfunctional, imo. You seem to be trying to hide from the realities of the world.

No, I’ve actually had pets. That said while I value the companionship I would prefer an artificial companion instead.

I think this says everything that needs to be said about the position this opinion is coming from.

Yeah there isn't much official content for it in 5e.
