Recently got done watching Five Star Stories.

Man, if ever there was an anime movie made for me, it's this one. Combine my rampant 80's sci-fi nostalgia with an almost overbearingly lush violin score, and it was an hour of pure heaven for me. I also loved the pervading feeling that what we were seeing was a very small slice of an enormous whole; there aren't many anime that can really make me believe that there is an entire world out there, beyond the scope of what we're shown.

I'm also a sucker for a certain aesthetic. My all time favorite anime OAV has one of those moments where the music, direction, and animation come together and I start to get misty-eyed just by the execution of the scene. This movie had several of those moments for me--the scene where Clotho makes her escape and is running down the road, for example. (Yes, I know, it's a slightly odd, ridiculous reaction to have to scenes like that, but I can't help it.)

This is definitely a series I want to explore more in depth.
