Life, Interrupted

I've just finished watching the fifth diskette of the anime Mushi-Shi, and it almost breaks my heart that I'm reaching the end of it. I may rent it again because I didn't start watching the interviews until the third diskette, so I missed some, and I'm not sure if all the boxed sets have the interviews.

This is adult in the best sense of the word -- beautiful beyond words to describe, subtle, sticks with you, and I am sure can be watched many times from many different vantage points.

I have this sudden desire to show it to everyone I know or will ever meet, just to see how they respond to it.

To compare it to a book, the first thing that comes to mind is, this is how it would be if someone tried to make 1/2 hour anime out of the riddles in the RiddleMaster of Hed series. Does that make sense?

I've got to get my hands on this manga.
