Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

getter robo isn't actually nagai! ken ishikawa did the whole thing, nagai contributed a few notes (like it was his idea to make the getter combine from planes, ishikawa was going to do cars) and i think did a one shot or two. and you gotta read go shin and arc! that's where it goes from good classic super robot to all time great
akira has both the dark horse translation AND the very fun og marvel translation from the 80s. the marvel one is a pretty good translation, especially for the time, and it's delightful seeing the way they colored it. they put a lot of care into it, otomo redrew a bunch of it so it would work better when flipped for the american release, and it was the first comic ever to use digital coloring. it's gorgeous
Didn't know all that cool!
oh, two more i like a lot that are ongoing
liar satsuki sees death is about satsuki, an ambiguously gay and pretty autistic high school girl who has the power to see corpses in the future and has to use that to try and prevent anyone from dying. no one believes her when she tells them "you're going to die in a few hours!" so she has to use other methods to save their lives. making friends, trying not to get detention for all the reckless shit she has to do, figuring out the mystery of why her school has so many accidental deaths
until i become me is about a young boy who magically turns into a girl and just spends years processing this. she feels conflicted about her gender identity, is terrified that she won't pass when going to school and will be exposed, is working through her sexuality and making friends. really quiet and grounded for a magic gender bend series, and it doesn't alienate me as a trans woman who has transitioned which is impressive for the premise
