Shelf
What I read and watch, and the few I keep coming back to. Most of what I think did not start with me. It came from things like these, and this shelf is the part that stayed. If one of them sends you to something you are glad you found, that is the whole point.
Anime
Hajime no Ippo
George Morikawa
I avoided old anime until this one. Not boxing: courage, brotherhood, and taking a loss.
Spirited Away
Hayao Miyazaki, 2001
The small things no one else bothers with are the whole point here. An experience, not a story.
100 Meters
Uoto
An easy nine, and it named why winning has come to matter less to me than the race.
Orb: On the Movements of the Earth
Uoto, 2024
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe, 2023
Jujutsu Kaisen
Gege Akutami, 2020
Hunter x Hunter
Yoshihiro Togashi, 2011
Re:Zero
Tappei Nagatsuki, 2016
Mushoku Tensei
Rifujin na Magonote, 2021
The Eminence in Shadow
Daisuke Aizawa, 2022
A comedy I keep coming back to, one of the few I have rewatched many times.
