"Le vent se lève il faut tenter de vivre",
The Wind is rising, we must try to live.
- Paul Valery,

Initially, this quote may be of little importance to the viewer; however, by the end of this masterpiece, it will carry significant weight. The Wind Rises, despite it's score here on My Anime List, should be regarded as Miyazaki's grande finale.

Everything in this film has been crafted so perfectly, I couldn't help but cry, and I am one who is usually not in touch with my emotions. From start to finish, the wind rises's characters, soundtrack and artwork will immerse you in the world of ... Japan 1914-1945, following a boy into his dream and beyond.

It should be noted that, this film, unlike most Ghibli films, leaves a slight melancholic taste, might be the work of Miyazaki's final goodbye or Hideaki Anno as voice actor. That is perhaps what brings this movie on an earth-scale, and makes it more emotional than ever (not including Grave Of The Fireflies).

Also news begin to stir that, Miyazaki might not retire completely like we were told, I hope it isn't true, because this film, is a great finale to a wondrous career.

Incandescent, enriching and for those of you who happen to be entertainment junkies. TTGL on ROIDS!Cocaine and bright lights! The adrenaline pumping, blood rushing feeling that is usually accompanied by the use of hardcore drugs can be experienced here, for a much lower cost!

Redline is an absolute gift for those of you who want pure entertainment. For this is enjoyment in it's purest form. From the stylishly characteristic artstyle, unique/ memorable characters and voice acting, to it's selective OST, this feature film is doing what anime does best; entertain. The film follows racing in a distant future, but the significance of the plot matters not, ... as you came here for the action and glory!

Redline does not try to deceive, you get what you came for, and nothing less.

Aren't you satisfied yet?

Darker Than Black- Overall Summary (No Elaboration on Story).

- What a journey! Darker Than Black (first season anyway) is just a must watch anime for those of you looking for a no bullshit anime. However, if you are looking for tits and fan-service galore, than I implore you to watch something of a severely lower quality such as HOTD. If you are familiar with Cowboy Bebop and enjoyed it, chances are you will enjoy Darker Than Black.

-The story is mostly, episodic , but does follow an overall story in the background, which becomes a lot more apparent in the later episodes. Although, the show will ... leave you in the moment that you long for more, it might be better for those of you who do not want confusion to stay clear of latter seasons. As the conclusion, in the first season is well reached. But I myself, did not heed to this warning given to me by other fans of the series, the later series are watched at the cost of severe decrease in writing and character development.

But just WATCH THE SERIES! Most of you, who watch anime not for the tits and panty shots will not regret it!
