The Professional: Golgo 13, I'm a little biased as I count seeing this motion picture among my happy childhood memories. The art is beautiful, a refelction of why we watch anime to this day. The simplistic beauty is enhanced by vibrant colors. But I want to take a moment to mention the soundtrack. I love the soundtrack to this film. It is the reason I started paying attention to who does the music in anime. It's 70's tyle stoic badassness and that's what makes it great. Only... having seen it dozens of times I can say watching it now; it's not really enthralling me. Also it's NC-17 by today's standards. So it's not for those whose triggers require warnings. Other than that, it's nostagia of the era that earne anime it's reputation for sex and violence. Bonus, today's the first time I've seen the James Bond esque opening sequence for this film. I wish for beauty such as his.
