I like sci-fi and fantasy
I do like comedy anime when it’s mixed with slice of life but I’m not sure if that will If I will like movies like that
If you haven’t seen the recent Shogun tv series - I’d recommend that.

Casshern (the 2004 live film not the original anime)
I think I saw “One Cut of the Dead” with subtitles on a plane, so I assume subtitles are an option. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7914416/
I didn’t expect to like it, but ended up liking it by the end of the movie.
If you liked Squid Game, consider Oldboy
Squid game is Korean and I saw clips of that but could never get into it as It didn’t interest me at all
It also feels like the internet over-hyped squid game past what it originally was
It was good, but I don’t ever want to watch it again. Same for Oldboy. And I’m not in for season 2.
I’m aware it’s Korean but I stand by my comparison.
Anime Sci-Fi classics that you might already have seen:
Akira (1988)
Ghost in the Shell (1995)
If you’re ok with abstract cinema:
Tetsuo the Iron Man (1989)
Visual appeal:
Metropolis (2001)
Not Sci-Fi, but one of my favorite films of all time:
Cure (1997)
e…maybe there are some probability that Japanese movie is famous for tokyohot
