Started Totoro then paused it partway thru and fell asleep again
Yeah, our protagonist's quite the motormouth when he's narrating, isn't he? The male main character of Night is Short isn't anything like that.The Tatami Galaxy 1
Oh good grief, a couple of minutes into this I actually paused it to check if I accidentally had the video running at 2x speed.
Yeah, it's not anything terribly startling, I'll grant you. I'm definitely enjoying it, though; it's written by Kazuki Nakashima, after all, one of my very favourites.Back Arrow ep1-3
Not quite sure how to feel about this one. Its broad strokes are fine - it’s got an interesting world and decent enough mecha designs - I just wish the writing was a bit stronger, it often feels kind of corny and by the numbers.
You're absolutely right: there was no UK release of xxxHolic series 2.Sadly I don't believe the 2nd season got released in this country

Children of the Sea ...I don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting that! As has been said before, it's a visual knockout and maybe the most visually impressive anime film that I have ever seen. It feels a lot more suited to the big screen but AL's Blu-Ray does it some justice.
Its plot is dense - I've not read the manga, but the film feels as if it is trying to wrestle it into a concise form for its whole running time and it somewhat succeeds. But What Does It All Mean? Hell if I know. Towards the end, the whole thing breaks down into a metaphysical soup that visually evokes the ending of Tomino's Ideon: Be Invoked, Marcell Jankovics' magnum opus The Tragedy of Man and the legendary special effects sequences of Douglas Trumbull for 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Tree of Life.. It has been said that we know more about the surface of the Moon than we do about the bottom of our own oceans and it feels like Children of the Sea plays upon that as a jumping off point in much the same way as those sci-fi masterpieces did when turning inward and examining the big questions. It's not in the same league but it is nevertheless one of the most captivating animated films of recent years.
