89) Mobile Police Patlabor 2: The Movie
Another Oshii masterclass, has one of the most stunning audiovisual and memorable opening sequences in a movie, one of the most thought-provoking experiences of the year, Nagumo is truly a great character, and this is Patlabor's direction at its best

88) Patlabor: The Movie
Takes a bit to get going but it's really gripping when it hits its stride, this is where I started to really love Gotou's characterisation, Noa and Asuma's dynamic is adorable, and holy shit is Noa absolutely badass in that climax, shoutout Noa with a shotgun

A fascinating sci-fi action manga, with some of the greatest mechanical body horror ive seen, definitely a little strange to follow at points and im still not sure how i see every character yet, but it was a rollercoaster of an experience and very enjoyable to binge

86) Pictures at an Exhibition
Generally, I like Tezuka stuff but the stories in this one are pretty hit and miss, I liked a couple but most of them weren't very compelling, although i liked the visual variance in depiction, the ending message on civilisation advancement was interesting ig

Prequel to Kitty's Studio, mostly about a cat whose graffiti drawings come to life and animate in neat little ways, the animation is more limited being a 50s short film but still was a unique watch

Not really into musicals, and this short film isn't really an exception unfortunately, colours + background art is nice and the story it tells is sweet but wasn't really holding my attention much, jumbo is cute though

82) 1001 Nights
Amano's style is always cool, mostly a really pretty short film, the CG was kinda weak however compared to other 90s works in how it blends with the rest of the art, the score is quite intense and fitting for the fever dream story, overall, a unique piece of experimental art

Nothing crazy but a really fun and whimsical silly cat story about a strange looking wizard guy and his musical cats, has pretty art and backgrounds, and the final aspect of it was well executed with the small bit of conflict in the story

I appreciate puppet or stop motion animation, and this one is really fun, i like the variety of styles we get per episode, 2 and 4 were my favourites, 2 was very whimsical and 4 had the best colour application for me, 3 was great in atmosphere with a pretty final shot

Another short, this one was touching, and I liked how it conveyed how a relationship evolves through the passage of time and the way we go through cycles emotionally on how time never stopping feels to us, neatly conveyed through the pendulum swinging always

Must watch for any Shinbo fan I think, just a very unique piece of gothic horror that i really enjoyed going through, the OST is excellent as well, if you're a Monogatari fan especially you'll see the directorial DNA here in a way that will feel very familiar
