Between Ping Pong: The Animation and The Tatami Galaxy, there was a lot to choose from as far as Masaaki Yuasa’s canon of work. While both of those titles are exquisite examples of anime that incorporate style and substance in equal measure, we’re of the opinion that his best outing was his personal take on Go Nagai’s apocalyptically enthralling magnum opus.

Prepare yourself, this one doesn’t hold back on shock value!
