Finally found some time to catch-up with some anime
Kagewani eps 1-9 (each ep is 7:30 mins long) - monsters/horror/thriller. Interesting animation - kind of watercolour stop-motion (rather reminiscent of 1970s kids tv!) with an intriguing plot involving a colleague lecturer and some mysterious company both interesting in the whys and wherefores of the seemingly random monster appearances.
Kowabon eps 1-5 (each ep is just 3 mins long) A creepy horror story told through cctv and webcam footage where strange things are briefly glimpsed. What entity is using cameras and tech to spy on humans... and why? Rotoscoped - some of the original live-action scenes are shown with the credits.
Really enjoying both - I rarely do horror, but these are more about playing with your mind than in your face gorefests.

Gatchaman - Episodes 85 to 99: Found a replacement R1 DVD player so working through the two final boxsets of ADV's old release on my pre 90s TV rule of two episodes max a day else it becomes a chore. Just realised though that I started watching it back in 2006!
The original version is very dark for a kids show, especially at this point, no wonder the Battle of the Planets version I used to watch was cut to shreds.
Mr Osomatsu - up to 9: Still funny.

Not posted here for a few weeks so:
noir rewatch up to episode 19. Black Rock Shooter rewatch up to episode 4. Darker Than Black2 rewatch finished the series and will watch the OVAs over Christmas. Paprika rewatch. Needless up to episode 16. Not sure what to say. Basically it's fights, panties, more fights, more panties. Also has one of the more dubious end sequences I've seen for a while. Fun though.
