Chalk it up to last minute slack, but I'm doing the all-nighter last possinle minute' dance of desperation' finishing my finals for structure & form, coincidentally due in 7 hours. on the interim I'm taking mini-breaks to download new anime. I was browing the 'new files' directory on Anime-Direct when I came across something amazing.
I'm an old hack when it comes to anime. I know I'm a huge nerd, and I don't care what anyone thinks. I've seen alot of crazy stuff that the casual western anime fan will probably never see unless it's picked up for release or shown on cartoon network.
I don't really know who I'm speaking to here, but remember that first time you saw Cowboy bebop? And how you were like "hot damn! this is pheonominal!". And then in later years, seeing Samurai Champloo and going "holy shit!!" because it was so different from everything else? Well, I found the next big thing, the next big "oh shit!".
It's called Noein Mou Hitori no Kimi e, and it's pretty much unlike anything I've ever seen.
The animation is completely off the hook.

not that the animation was all that amazing, but it was still beautiful.. GAH
anyways, sweet tats.
it was blissfully simple, but extremely deep and emotional. It's pretty hard to make a series that has no direct comedy, action, or conflict, and is entirely open-ended and driven entirely by character interaction, but he did it.
and it's a masterpiece.
