Minutiae, in the nominative plural

Dear diary, today there was enough mist to make me think that I had landed in the Dagobah system.

Anyone wanna rec me some anime? I've got Cowboy Bebop and one about crazy mermaids waiting on my computer right now, and I'm interested in Tsubasa Resevoir. (And having nostalgic feelings about Cardcaptor Sakura, gods help me.)

Life is crazy and busy and stuff, but I get by (with help from reading my flist).

Peacemaker Kurogane. It´s short enough, and crazy enough without making a mockery of history. I appreciate that a lot. There´s a side plotline which is sheer idiocy (taken in part from something that was happening in the manga at the same time but nobody knew yet how it would really end), but you can ignore it if you squint hard enough.

Still, what I really know about enough to make recs is Japanese live series and historical/fantasy movies. Anime not so much. Loved Sailormoon in the distant past, and I still like RK, PMK, Princess Mononoke and everything Tezuka, and that´s pretty much it.

Then again, many lives and movies I´ve enjoyed have anime counterparts, like Shinobi/Basilisk, Nodame Cantabile, G.T.O., Death Note or Onmyoji. (And Dororo, though that´s so old that I wish you luck finding it). I just find it more difficult to get into a story in anime mode than in real life mode, but for whoever anime is the right piece of cake it will probably be just as enjoyable, or more.

Hmm, no sign of Peacemaker Kurogane, but I can get Nodame Cantabile and Basilisk. I saw a bit of Death Note and it didn't really grab me.

Ah, I see. Nodame Cantabile is goofy comedy, I just found it hilarious for some reason. The live action (I don´t know about the anime). Basilisk is a tragic ninja love story.
