Hi /trv/, I guess this is the best board to ask this question. I'll probably be going to Japan in less than a month and was wondering if you guys could recommend any movies/tv shows/even anime or whatever based on their culture and folklore? I really want to immerse myself before I go there. If this is not the right thread to ask this question, I apologize in advance.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Seven Samurai
La Blue Girl
Pokémon
Ichi the Killer
Cooking with Dog
Two movies I recommend are Lost in Translation and Tampopo
here is a trailer of the latter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_KctoG0bAE
