    Lots of great suggestions in this thread already. A few things I wanted to add

    "Serial Experiments Lain", though the technology in the film is dated, the emotional core of the story is very much intact

    "Perfect Blue", still an amazing psychological thriller and everything by Satoshi Kon should be featured here

    "Jin-Roh", a very dark fairy tale with lots and lots of relevancy today

Authorities have not confirmed that the manifesto is from the same attacker but continue to investigate it.

    That's what you get if a bunch of privileged old people who barely know how to operate a smartphone are allowed to make decisions for everyone else.
