La Maison en Petits Cubes was a heartwarming, tear-jerking masterpiece I happened to stumble upon. A man goes searching for a pipe he lost and ends up seeing a slide show of memories he has of the past rooms of his house. Doubt I'm the only one that did, but I cried a bit during this. It hit home in several ways and brings back an overwhelming nostalgia for me. Now, for the breakdown.

Story: 9
The story of this movie is a simple but powerful one. A man goes on a journey back through his memories to realize the worth of his life.

Art: ... 10
Ah, the art. Where should I start? I found the artistic style of this anime phenomenal. The colour schemes were divine. Even the general blue colours had so many different shades to them, very enjoyable.

Sound: 9
I really liked the choice of music for this movie. Not much else to say.

Character: 7
Obviously, there's not much room for character depth within 12 minutes, but the overall theme and message the movie conveys makes it well worth watching.

Enjoyment: 10
I enjoyed this movie quite a bit, as I like general surreal stuff.

Overall: 9
Overall, La Maison en Petits Cubes is a fantastic short, but powerful film that inspires a lot of introspection even upon finishing. I highly recommend it.

Well, here it is, the all-famed Death Note. I have to say, I figured since so many people love it, it can't be bad. Boy, was I wrong. Death Note has an incredibly mediocre plot for what it set out to do. The story, as we all know, is about the discovery of the Death Note that can kill those whose names are written in it. Original? Somewhat. Well-executed? Hardly. The art and the sound were really good, which is a shame that they seemed to make it pretty and ran out of focus and funding for a good story and characters. Don't even get ... me started on the characters. L was the cute, quirky villain(original right? Oh wait, that's been beaten to death) and Light was your typical emotastic sqeenix type character with a vendetta against society. I've seen much better crime drama anime like Boogiepop Phantom and Paranoia Agent, which is a shame because this piece of crap ended up being one of, if not the most popular, crime anime. Oh well, you guys can have your Death Note, I'm just saying it's an all-around bad anime that really doesn't deserve all the hype it gets.
