Day 3

Day o3 - Your Favorite Television Program

As with songs, I'd say it's difficult for me to choose a favorite TV program. However, that's not because the choices are too vast, but because I really don't watch that much television. Time spent in front of the set is usually spent whilst doing other things, and when I do invest myself in something it usually would still not be counted as my "favorite."
Thus, Wolf's Rain isn't my favorite TV show of all time. It isn't even my favorite anime, for that matter. It is, however, the program I'm the most invested in right now (despite the fact that I haven't had a chance to continue it for a couple weeks). The animation is beautiful, the story is unique and intriguing, and it's just really damn good. Once finals are over, I'll hopefully finish this series and move on to the next one, like Jay Z.

Day Two


Day 02 - Your Favorite Movie


It's no secret that I'm something of an animation nerd. There is just something about classic, traditional handdrawn animation that's (don't hit me for using a cliche) magical. It's a painstakingly thorough art, and when done well it is clear to the viewer that he or she is watching a meticulously crafted labor of love. Knowing this, it's only logical that I have an affinity for Disney's animated films, and that my favorite is the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty. The artwork in this movie is absolutely stunning, with backdrops inspired by classic midievil paintings complemented with a musical score adapted from the original Tchaicovsky production. Plus, Maleficent is the head bitch in charge of Disney villains, the original BAMF.

Honorable Mentions are Kill Bill (Vol 1 and 2), Josie and the Pussycats, Jennifer's Body, Ponyo, and just about half of Disney's animated films.
