Yokohama kaidashi kikô (1998)
Short and sweet
Nothing in particular is extraordinary about this story, and that is the point. It is about taking a moment to watch a puddle dry. Alpha is a robot who was built for a purpose, and yet her work has been delayed indefinitely. How will she spend her time now, in a world of natural beauty and ordinary experiences and relationships that will only happen once?
Ginga no Uo Ursa Minor Blue (1993)
Oars in calm waters
This story feels like a picture book I would read over and over again as a child, and each time have the same fascination and curiosity. The animation style is simple, with an economic use of lines that vividly convey motion and feeling. The deep blue and shimmering stars fill the story with an overarching magical calm. The plot, the characters, and the images used to present them make use of familiar symbols to resonate with the viewer.
