I see your point especially with High School of the Dead. So yeah, I kinda agree with you that most anime is mindless nowadays but I sort of see anime as I see movies, books, and video games in that for every one that isn't mindless there'll be at least a dozen that's the complete opposite. So I would either ignore the stupid parts (bullet-time breasts and all that) or be mildly entertained by it.
My bad, I must have confused Moribito with Marebito.

And yeah, Marebito is a Japanese horror (J-horror as the genre is called) movie I've watched a long time ago. So, tell me what do you like about Moribito. I'm kind of interested by it now that I've heard about it.
