Berserk: The Golden Age Arc II: The Battle for DoldreyOn the whole, The Battle for Doldrey is a mixed bag of strengths and weaknesses. While that may be true of most things, there are few places where those lines are so clearly drawn as in this film.

Kimagure Orange Road: The Movie DVD...a beautifully executed love story... these are characters that you can really get into. Yes, everyone in the series suffers from 80's fashion, but think of it as a cultural touchstone -- a slice of life from 80's Japan.
