I'm not particularly an anime fan, but this is one of my top 5 favourite movies of all time. I went in with no particular idea of what was to come and feel this is a good approach, so I won't divulge too much plot here. It starts as a light-hearted high-school romance, albeit fantastical. It ends as a massive punch to the heart (especially considering the realities of Nagaski and Hiroshima). There is a happy ending, but you earn it! The music by Radwimps still has the capacity to move me to tears years later, each and every time I hear it. Watch it. Can't say more.

The Good Fight is a fantastic, clever, philosophical and educational satire. Don't watch unless you are prepared to be educated (by cartoon and song), and possibly have your beliefs challenged - it is very up front from the outset, about its leftist political leanings. Season 5 is an almost fantastical representation of the seemingly lucid dream that is the pan-pandemic/post-pandemic world. One example I particularly love in this season is Judege Wacker and his Court at 9 3/4. Our belief in "The Structure": Our Judicial, Political, Cultural and Geo-political institutions; are something made up by a few, (and no I don't mean deep-state *eye-roll*) and only exists because the rest of us accept it. These beliefs have been rocked by the reality that EVERYTHING can change in a moment. The 9 3/4 Court, cheekily represents how, a person or group of people, with a strong set of beliefs and motivation, can create a judicial structure that others will invest in and adhere to. Where else to find meaning than in a tribute to Harry Potter? When everyone else is doing social satire through sci-fi dystopia or zombie horror, The Good Fight represents the mad weirdness that is human behaviour, in a believably realistic way. Give it a go and challenge your brain.
