 His films are brilliant, and they righteously frustrate me in the sense that I can’t analyze them as much as I’d like to. He’s even said himself that his use of violence is purely an aesthetic thing, nothing political. I think he’s one of the only directors that I can name (at this very moment) that I appreciate solely for entertainment and aesthetic purposes. Films by David Fincher, Scorsese, Miyazaki, and others let me look deeper into what the film provides. With Tarantino I can just sit back and, dare I say it, enjoy myself without thinking too deeply. | The Work of Quentin Tarantino: Quality Over Quantity |

FMA: Brotherhood is the one that everyone should watch, anime fan or not. It’s intelligent, doesn’t spoon-feed anything to its viewers, doesn’t randomly drop characters into the netherworld, and isn’t ridiculously long (I believe it’s less than 60-70 episodes in total). If you’ve watched maybe some anime, I also suggest: Baccano, Samurai Champloo, and Anohana. If you’re interested in anime movies, look at names like Miyazaki, Makoto Shinkai, and Mamoru Hosoda. | Anime for Dummies: What Starters Should Watch |
I’ve only watched the first two episodes. the fictional world is brilliant and well-developed. The themes are relevant and concise. Though I’m not the most ardent lover of some of the characters, I love the theme song too much to care. Hopefully the characters develop a bit more and this’ll soon be one of my favorite animes.
