HIGURASHI 8: MATSURIBAYASHI (2006)
flawed but R07's plot weaving is superhuman. his critique on christianity, that god would even have to sacrifice his son, is my realization of his theme of allowing outsider views to challenge our stuck cultures. takano's backstory stinks. au au au. oiishi=👑

HIGURASHI 7: MINAGOROSHI (2005)
I'm all for stories of hope, and I'm really proud that Ryukishi turned these ideas into something bold with Umineko, but this a taxing read that is bloated by the author's fear of a single detail not being understood to a shimmer.

HIGURASHI 6: TSUMIHOROBOSHI
Setting aside "the Yakuza Who Don't Do Anything are cool and good" bit, the theme of carrying burdens and sins and the purpose of confession, forgiveness, and love is great. Incredible highs, but at this point I've lost interest in the broader story.

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (1981)
Damn, John Landis. A great movie. It is front to back a comedy movie with a dash of horror. You have dreamy scenes people love Lynch for. Incredible practical effects. The main guys dress like Mario and Luigi and talk like they're on an episode of Friends

HIGURASHI 5: MEAKASHI
Some fun spins on the Torikaebaya formula. It's novel to me because I'm not familiar with 9th century Japanese stories. But. Higurashi 2's ending is Extremely Lame, and thinking about it is a multi-hour drag. Despite my distaste, I can see people resonating with this.

HIGURASHI 4: HIMATSUBUSHI
A story for the big boys. A great time full of thoughtful scenes. It opens up the plot in a way where the underground is so seemingly powerful that all questions can be answered by "idk, the Mafia I Guess." But it doesn't matter. Oishi is here to wear a robe

HIGURASHI 3: TATARIGOROSHI
A long meditation on powerlessness and extreme vigilantes. Suspenseful with an ending so left-field that I'm surprised it's surprising. Ryukishi's experience as a civil service worker is prominent. A huge upswing after Higurashi 2's silliness.

MOBILE SUIT ZETA GUNDAM: A NEW TRANSLATION (2004-2006)
yes, the new ending is weak. but you're getting a streamlined version of a complex story. it doesn't replace the original, and the concise rhythm helps some characters come across lovely. worth watching for the new audio alone.

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: HATHAWAY (2021)
Great OST and some wild angles in this. I was not expecting an exploration of losing your identity while navigating a corrupt economic and political system. Murase's directing is great. Tomino's writing maintains a heartbroken optimist's world view. So good

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: CUCURUZ DOAN'S ISLAND
This takes one of the best episodes of 0079 and gives it time to breathe. So thoughtful from beginning to end. Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's directing is beautiful and a worthy end cap to his career. It's everything I wanted from The Origin anime adaptation.
