Hellsing – Nazi’s and vampires, physician what’s not to like? The story is meh, but it’s unapologetically over the top. Although the last episode is the main bad guy talking for about 40 minutes, which is boring.

Attack on Titan – A few of my coworkers told me about this one, and I’m glad I watched it. It’s basically about humanity trapped within walls, and on the outside are these huge humanoid creatures (titans) that will eat you. The story follows a group of three friends as they deal with their lives falling apart.

What I like lost about the show is that the first episode happens, then between the first and second ep a year or so goes by. Then between the second and third ep another year or so goes by. It’s like they skip all the boring parts. Then later in the season there’s a 6 episode story about them going on a mission and while it takes place across 6 episodes it’s all during the course of the morning. The pace and attention to detail are really well done. The end leaves things totally unresolved – literally the characters are saying “was this app for nothing?” And it mirrors my thoughts of “why did I just watch all this?” But it’s such a good show that I’ll watch the next season with no hesitation.

My Neighbor Totoro – Hayao Miyazaki’s classic where nothing really happens and it’s a totally feel good easy going movie. Here’s a good discussion of it on the incomparable. Then one of my coworkers told me that both girls are dead and totoro is a death god. What?
