anime13
FLCL
completedSix episodes of static, guitars, and growing up too fast.
Serial Experiments Lain
completedThe Wired, the hum, the distance between people.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
completedComfort show, somehow. Bad mental health as giant robot weather.
Dandadan
watchingWatching for the whiplash between dumb jokes and perfect animation.
Serial Experiments Lain (rewatch)
plannedPlanned because the Wired always finds a way back.
Cowboy Bebop
completedEvery episode is a different genre and somehow it still holds together.
Texhnolyze
completedAlmost no dialogue for the first four episodes. It earns every bit of it.
Mushishi

Ping Pong the Animation
completedUgly on purpose and the best-animated thing on this list.
Kaiba
completedSoft round shapes carrying the bleakest premise about memory I have seen.
Monster
plannedSeventy-four episodes is not a commitment, it is a lifestyle change.

Boogiepop Phantom
plannedFiled under things to watch when the Lain mood comes back around.
movies13
Blade Runner 2049
watchedBass, fog, lonely holograms. More mood than plot for me.
Akira
watchedThe bike slide, the city, the animation density. Still ridiculous.
Spirited Away
watchedFirst Ghibli; bathhouse logic still works on me.
Dune: Part Two
watchedSaw it loud; the sandworm stuff carried the whole room.
Paprika
watchedThe parade sequence rewired something in my head permanently.
Ghost in the Shell
watchedMostly I rewatch it for the three minutes of the city and the rain.

Millennium Actress
watchedCuts between memory and film until the difference stops mattering.
Stalker
watchlistBeen told to set aside a whole evening and no distractions. Waiting for that evening.

watchedBarely any dialogue. Mostly a mood I could not shake for a week.
Solaris

Memories
watchedMagnetic Rose alone justifies the whole anthology.
