I second the 1997 berserk, it's such a sick show. Different themes but very old-school and just a cool series

Buddhism and Shintoism have had a profound influence on Japanese lifestyle, but Japanese people are largely unaware of religion. Currently, only 1.5% of the Japanese population is Christian, which is a very small percentage. Nagasaki is the only region where Christianity first entered Japan, and even now, it has a higher percentage of Christians than other regions. The setting for ‘Apollon on the Slope’ is Nagasaki, which is the region with the highest percentage of Christians in Japan. From the year 200 to 1873, people were required to pay taxes to the government in the form of gold or rice. Nagasaki, with its extremely limited flat land, could not produce large quantities of rice, leading to prolonged poverty and hardship for its people. This made it easier for Christianity to spread there compared to other regions. I am from Nagasaki and graduated from the same high school as Sentaro and Bon. Among the graduates of this high school is Keita Ogawa, the percussionist of Snarky Puppy. He also played jazz drums at bars frequented by American soldiers during his high school days, just like Sentaro.
