Anime, descending order of quality:

  • Hellsing Ultimate (review)
  • Wolf Children (review)
  • From Up on Poppy Hill (review)
  • Hotarubi no Mori e (cute one-shot with predictable twist ending, no real reason for anyone to watch it)

Movies:

  • Prince Avalanche: beautiful visuals of a burnt but recovering nature, pretty good OST by Explosions in the Sky, story was kinda an awkward buddy flick which felt almost deliberately dumb. Recommended as nature/scenery porn.
  • The Princess Bride: fun and enjoyable, and now I will understand references to it.
  • Mediastan: sort of an awkward exploration of Wikileaks trying to find people to write articles on its cables.
