Train to Busan was great, and was one of the few eastern films that managed to hit my radar.
Tangentially, I’ll just add here: the Rebuild series of films for Neon Genesis, I thought were awesome in and of themselves, and managed the crazy hard task of both honoring the original while adding to the universe through the themes that Anno has grown to appreciate as he got older. I think true beauty is enhanced by context and subtext and imo he’s a master of using those tools to convey a story
