It was way back last week when I wrote about The Top #9-5 Horror / Psychological Anime… but it feels like only nanoseconds ago! Oh well, time flies when you’re watching anime. Here’s the rest:
4. Paranoia Agent. Satoshi Kon strikes again. This psychological mind fuck had me addicted from the first episode. No more words…go watch this one.
3. Requiem from the Darkness. Scariest anime and above all most disturbing media form I have ever experienced. There is violence from the start and the last few episodes were really horrifying. I’m still in the process of rewatching, slowly inching my way toward what I know will only disgust me, though I’m probably a little numb to the horror by now. Great anime! A must see for both horror and anime fans alike.
2. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni & Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai. How could I possibly follow up that last choice…with a delicious little twist called When the Cicadas Cry! It seems like your normal cheesy harem anime, but right from the start you know there’s something wrong. It’s either the foreshadowed murders at the beginning of each arc or the actual conclusion at the end. Watch the first four episodes. If you’re not hooked then turn it off.
1. Doomed Megalopolis. My absolute favorite. Twisted in its own way, I fell in love with the first episode. I won’t offer any spoilers or character peeks or anything like that. Just watch this supernatural thriller and prepare to be haunted.

Why the Top 9? Because 10 is too many and 9 is better. 3 X 3 = Awesome. Now that’s what I call math.
Angelina Jolie, Common, Morgan Freeman, Terrence Stamp, and … Mr. Tumnas? That’s the cast of Wanted, the latest comic book movie to hit the box office. Longtime Podcast listeners might recall that I have reviled this film for the past six months or so, in large part due to my disapproval of the changes made during the adaptation. I was worried they would destroy on screen something that was so well executed in print.
In order to substantiate my prior opinions, I took in the 5:15 PM screening this afternoon. My post-flick txt (<160 characters) to Nick below:
Audience was all old people and a crying baby. Action was good, Jolie looks busted, Freeman pulls a Sam Jackson. Still fails to convey the point of the book.
