Then I remember that Miyazaki's likely final film is another candidate for his magnum opus - the philosophical, surreal, pensive "The Boy and the Heron." It's a beautiful reflection on grief, loss, and legacy and a soulful balsam for our times that was well worth the 10 year wait.

At least once every few years, I re-read Hayao Miyazaki's magnum opus, the manga "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind." More relevant than ever as the world continues to largely ignore climate change, it's a cautionary tale that also reminds us that, somehow, we must figure out how to keep living.

I love any and all old school games -- aside from all the classics others have mentioned, I'll give a shout-out to the phenomenal Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War for the SNES. It's Japan-exclusive, but has a fantastic fan translation. Rumored to be getting a Switch remake at some point!
