If you want stuff that's explicit about the bomb, there's always Barefoot Gen. There's also a really moving, quietly devastating manga called Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms that touches on the discrimination of bomb survivors.
I'll be teaching east Asian history this summer (japan, the koreas, and china)
and a part i'll be teaching on Japan is the psychological effects of the atomic bomb that affected Japan's culture esp. in anime and movies
eg. akira, dbz, godzilla, naruto (kinda), grave of the fireflies, etc.
im not a huge anime watcher. only read naruto but I watched a couple anime movies like akira, grave of the fireflies, only yesterday, 5 cm per second, spirited away, etc (basically all the famous ones)
anyways, I was wondering if any of yall can give me some more reference/examples of traces of the atomic bomb showing in animes?
