Manga and the 1997 anime
This goes so fucking hard. My favorite thing about Berserk is how the creator Kentaro Miura originally made it to just bring his coolest teenage boy, ultra violent, badass fantasies to life but through the story of Guts and how this character evolves we also see Miura maturing. It's a process that many young boys have got to go through and it's uncomfortable and scary and that's what Berserk is. It's horrifying and beautiful and sometimes funny and mostly heartbreaking.
*As a warning, Berserk is incredibly graphic*

Gantz was the first manga I ever read as a child and after recently rewatching and rereading it never realized how much it rubbed off on my personality. I strongly believe it is something you should not die without reading I wouldn't really know how to start describing it I would just go read it, you can easily find it online by searching “Gantz Scans Online”. I would highly recommend completely avoiding the Live Action & CGI adaptations, as well as (while very good) avoiding the anime until you read the books a bit.

This is a 12 volume manga by Inio Asano. I'm not a big manga reader & consider myself highly selective. This was one of the best & most beautiful series I've ever read. A love letter to imageboard culture alongside exploration of diverse human responses to horrific circumstances that can't be understood even as they happen to you and those you love. Sympathy, empathy, pity. Aliens and teen girls trying to cope.
I believe it's getting an anime adaptation soon, which I hope will be well done and impactful. I don't know, it just really stuck with me.

you have to remember that as urgently as you search for your family, they too search for you
