I finally had the chance to rewatch Millennium Actress, as it was showing on TV tonight. It's still as good as the first time I saw it, even though there weren't any subtitles and I was completely lost on large chunks of the dialogue. I probably cried even more this time around, because I'm a big sap like that. If you haven't seen any of Satoshi Kon's movies, you really owe it to yourself to check them out. I love them all, but Millennium Actress may very well be my favorite. I really want to see his latest, Paprika. I hear it's based on a sci-fi novel - looks interestingly dark.
The Honey & Clover anime just finished airing on TV tonight too. It was sooooo good. D: I haven't watched such a good anime in a long, long time. A wonderful mix of drama and humor - I'm not sure why it hasn't been picked up for a US release yet. I need to get my hands on the second season sometime.
I picked up the first book of the Mushishi manga today. The first chapter is the same as the anime (more like, the first episodes of the anime is the same as the first chapter of the book), no surprise there, but I was surprised at how shoujo the art-style is. The way the characters are drawn actually reminds me a good deal of Honey & Clover. ^^;
