  Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust 2000

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  Is to the first movie what Road Warrior is to Mad Max. 
  Another perfectly paced Kawajiri action movie, sans the sexual violence. A great Halloween anime from the best action director in the medium.

  Royal Space Force - The Wings of Honneamise 1987

  ★★★½ Watched 31 Jan 2025

  Outstanding world building, score and animation…and one notorious, gratuitous scene that brings the whole thing down and adds nothing.
  A cut minus those three minutes would elevate this.

  Look Back 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 31 Jan 2025

  Bullseye coming-of-age meditation on friendship, partnership, and art.
  A prime example of what can be accomplished in animated storytelling, and a contender for the most emotionally charged film of the year.
  Do not miss.

  Super Dimension Fortress Macross 1982

  ★★★★½ Watched 05 May 2024

  One of the great Space Operas. Big, romantic, melodramatic, stylishly kinetic and (at times)harrowing. The War and Peace of mech anime. Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick owe their entire existence to this and Macross Plus.
