in terms of manga/anime, spirited away is great, just beautifully told and animated. Saw Persepolis, and the early stuff when she's a child are just gorgeously evocative, much better than the stroppy teenager stuff.
I'm supposed to be catching up on samurai champoo, which a friend lent me a couple of years back, and I managed to download afro samurai, which was intriguing, visually, and conceptually, but just a bit flat in the story, not sure whether it was the translation into english or whether it was that way in the original japanese.
anyway akira, got to love akira, kind of what got me into manga/anime in the first place. clown bike fight! Go Kaneda!!
not really anime per se but I am loving this trailer for tr2n, brings back childhood memories of light cycles and frisbees which could kill...
