Thanks for putting a warning on Anime Supremacy iwtmd. It's well positioned for visibility.
Zen Diary, the richness of his environment and food reminded me of how impoverished my relative 'privilege' is. And then the second half, where he's grieving and perhaps in some sort of depression, was also such a contrast to my own feelings about death. He does seem to come out of it fairly quickly though, with the return of the winter so maybe he worked through what he needed to. His editor/woman he liked was right though, he was being selfish.
Ranking them for the voting list is getting even harder, not just because how do you compare but also because of how many films I've seen since the first ones.
