April comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers

For m00nface, who asked me for some recommendations.

First of all, sorry this has taken so long. I had a hard time remembered what came out when, and what I've recommended before, and the list kept getting longer, and then mikke asked me if I could recommend some stuff for someone else, and I'm incapable of recommending something without trying to describe it, so it kept getting bigger. I'll probably keep adding to the list as I think of things, but there's no reason not to post what I've actually written so far.

Everything in this post is a show I think is so wonderful that I recommend it with any qualifiers, except that with the possible exception of Mushishi, they are all licensed for release in the U.S. (edit. telophase points out that Mushishi is licensed, and the first DVD is available for purchase, so for heaven's sake, go buy it)--Seirei no Moribito is ongoing, so it hasn't been released on DVD yet, but I watched most of these shows via Netflix, and they are a little bit older (I've only watched them in the last two years, though--actually, on this particular list, I've watched it only in the last eighteen months). But if you haven't seen them yet, and you can, you won't regret seeking them out.
