SPOILERS (kinda)
Forgot I have seen this movie before, but on the second time around I remembered close to the end that I had seen it.
The reason this is awesome is of course because of the animation, music, and overall enjoyment. I do, however, want to shed light on the theme for Sword of the Stranger:
-By the end of the movie, Nanashi and the boy (and dog) are the only ones left.
-It seems that every other character (except for the Shogun's wife) were extremely selfish in their wants and desires. They all wanted power, money, or personal gain.
-Nanashi was the only character to self-sacrifice

Only watch this show if you're bored or yearning for a 90's anime. The characters are lacking, the story seems forced, and on top of that it's average 90's looking. The only plus side is that it's only an hour short.
The story throws you into mid-scene of apocalyptic earth with 60% of the population dead from nuclear war, but you don't know why. The relationship between each character has no reasoning behind it. Just from these facts alone, the show already sucks. I had to continuously scroll through the second episode to get to the end because that's how bad it was. Do not ...

Shokugeki no Souma
(Anime)
add
Just started and finished this show this week. I gotta tell you, I really really enjoyed this anime. I hope that this show gets a second season next year. The story is unique to me since I've never really watched any animes about food before. The only thing that's a little weird is the foodgasms. If they would have toned it down a little bit on that it probably could have gotten a 10/10 for me. Souma is great character and I really want to see how the second season goes (hoping they have one like i said). The sound and animation were very good.

Kill la Kill
(Anime)
add
I just finished Kill La Kill today. I don't get what the buzz is about, it's really not that good. The first twelve episodes were fine to me, the characters were fairly likable and the story was decent. Around episode 14 the story gets so convoluted and just plain stupid. I'm sorry, but I'm not that impressed. The best part of this anime is that the action makes up for the story being ridiculous.
My favorite character is Mako, and if you haven't watched it yet that doesn't help you much. She's a support character that's best friends to the main. Her dialogue during serious ...

Ping Pong the Animation
(Anime)
add
Ping Pong the animation gave me mixed signals in the first episode. I toughed it out through episode three and the show became great very quickly. The story in itself is amazing, but very basic: it's about conflict with one's self and this theme can be seen in EVERY character. The art is very very different, but after episode three you find it funny and enjoyable. Like I already said, the story is amazing, and you can't have an amazing story without amazing characters. Once the final credits roll, you kind of wish there was another season (or 20 episodes). I enjoyed this very much

Death Parade
(Anime)
add
Okay, so this is not your average anime. It starts off very psychologically intense and the viewer probably believes it will continue to be an intense show. Death Parade is nothing less of brilliant. The opening episode captures your interest and "shocks" the viewer with another possibility of life after death. The story's characters are arbiters and judge human lives, sending them to either "heaven" (reincarnation) or "hell" (the void). I will not spoil the story, but it is definitely worth the watch.
The story is above average in my opinion and can be seen as very touching. The main character (which doesn't remember her ...

Saraiya Goyou
(Anime)
add
House of Five Leaves (Saraiya Goyou) is a subtle, samurai tale in Edo-Japan. If you are planning to watch this, do not expect fight scene after fight scene (hence subtle). The story is a blend of five characters lives into one storyline that explains how they all met, why they are friends, etc. The character development of this anime is very prominent and one of the best I've seen in a "basic" samurai anime. The animation art is different and that can be seen in the characters' faces; it is definitely unique. The show's soundtrack is a mix of present day and classic Japanese music,
