Furious has received an excellent review, the prequel that belongs to the Mad Max saga has embedded a new image of the protagonist embodied in Anya Taylor-Joy, so if you were a fan of her or the story and feel a void when finishing the film , here I recommend anime titles that will heal the wound in your heart.
Furious It shows us a world full of chaos and destruction, it leaves a bitter taste and also makes the structure of the world more complex. However, it is not limited to action, but also invites you to think. Have you already seen it? What do you think about it? Tell me more in the sections below.
Without further ado, I list the titles you should see if you are an otaku and you loved it Furious.
Akira
Akira It is one of the masterpieces of steampunk, You know, the variant of science fiction that allows us to see weapons that are a little more “rudimentary” if we compare it with the most modern futuristic sci-fi.
Our protagonist lives in a post-apocalyptic environment, after the “third world war”, in a new Tokyo that is rebuilt in pieces from past blows. The decay of the structures permeates the characters directly, we can see how they survive in the “ruins” of the previous splendor.
The protagonist has comrades from a motorcycle gang who are not afraid of anything and will make a reckless mess that will lead them to more strange and dangerous conflicts.
Although things begin in a simple way as a local revolt, the appearance of a child with very particular characteristics will cause history to take a dramatic turn to review new constructs of power.
Akira is available to rent on Apple TV.
Ergo Proxy
the anime of Ergo Proxy It looks a little more like the dark aesthetic of Furious. And the narratives could also get quite existential and confusing, although the desert heat of the saga of Mad Max, Yes, we see other types of empty and desolate environments in the anime of Ergo Proxy.
Re-L Mayer —this premise will remind you a little of the Metallic Rouge hunt, but in a light way—, is a girl who must investigate an avenging android even though peace is supposed to have come to her world. —in which coexistence between different groups is a harmonious fact.
The hunt for the girl will take her to the most marginalized places and will allow us to pose a mystery full of tension, because blood is present and at any moment things could take on a much more dangerous tone.
Mayer’s enemies are very powerful and almost invisible, the action is guaranteed, but so are the philosophical problems.
Ergo Proxy Is available in Crunchyroll.
Tengoku Daimakyō: Heavy Disillusionment
A post-apocalyptic world is something that steam punk usually has as its essential backbone; at the end of the day, with the little we have, societies are reformed and, in any case, mechanisms innovate.
This is something quite exemplary and reflects the continuous advances and modernizations at different levels, Because yes, there is a lot to do with the ruins—oh yes, something very poetic too. And in Tengoku Daimakyō: Heavy Disillusionment Wow we see that, in addition to mysteries and power conflicts.
Two worlds unfold as parts of the same reality and two characters looking for their other half will have to devour their respective realities to connect and give birth to a new space.
Tengoku Daimakyō: Heavy Disillusionment is available on Disney Plus.
Cyberpunk: edgerunners
Cyberpunk: edgerunners It is an anime that broke the series algorithm. Studio Trigger’s phenomenal animation in neon colors along with the delicate lines allowed us to recognize a sleeping city that was falling apart in the lowest places.
Besides, weapons and body modifications —perhaps in a cleaner way than in the film, due to the plasticity of the animation— they will remind us of the film on more than one occasion.
On the other hand, the group tension experienced in an attempt to survive is also similar. Furiosa tries to return home, while the anime kids want to keep their home with as little interference as possible.
However, what runs through both narratives is precisely the notion of “lower” territory and class distinction. One dominates the other, and this fact directs the audacity of the protagonists who move in the midst of dreams and chaos.
So much Cyberpunk like the film are must-see titles for science fiction fans in general. Remember that the Studio Trigger title is available in the Netflix catalog, check it out here.
We recommend: Furiosa was intended to be an anime instead of a live-action
Furiosa and anime
In case you didn’t know, the prequel Furious It had been ready—in a story outline—for fifteen years, Doug Mitchell commented in an interview that the film was originally envisioned as animation—probably because of the particular notion of science fiction and the versatility that anime can give if you know how to take advantage of it.
It even had a name and a tentative director! It was titled The Peach and would be in charge of Mahiro Maeda who is a very popular director, recognized for his work at Studio Ghibli and yes, focused on the most steampunk titles, such as Castle in the Sky, Nausicaa and Porco Rosso.
However, things changed and the story was adapted to live-action with a cast that ensured an audience, as it featured actresses and actors who are popular for their work in different contemporary projects.
Remember that Furious It premiered on May 24, 2024. So you have time to see the title on the big screen.
