Dune, I found a bit of a chore to get into since Herbert doesn't really explain what the fuck he's talking about in the first twenty or so pages and that makes it uncomfortable. I plan on re-reading it soon since I purchased Messiah and Children of Dune, so maybe my opinion of it will change on a second read.

I dated mostly police.
I hated coastal solace.
In navy posts I flourished.
I inflate the cost of polish.

I restrained my nest-egg worries.
On planes I tested patience.
I prayed for lusty follies.
I betrayed my foster family.

In ways I lost my malice.
I craved a cloistered palace.
I dared say the feast was ghoulish.
I became a tourist: boorish.

Unswayed by mystic knowledge,
I raised a frosty chalice.
I was upstaged and roasted: English.
I obeyed a ghost who’s tall-ish.

The play was close to flawless.
I stayed and missed her no less.
Then one day the fester wasn’t.
I cried: the taste was more-ish.

Tristram Shandy it's a book by Lawrence Sterne considered by many to be the first book that was postmodern in style, with the possible exception of Don Quixote which is a clear influence on the book and is referenced within it several times. The book is extremely humorous and often pokes fun at it's meandering and digressive narrative style - for example it takes 300 pages for the main character to even be born and at one point Sterne spends 30 pages explaining why the character Uncle Toby thought that Tristram's Father should ring a bell and ask his servants why they were making so much noise. There are also several chapters about the history of noses and the societal implications of having a long or short nose. It is unclear whether or not Tristram Shandy is an unfinished work, since volumes were still being produced shortly before Lawrence Sterne's death and some sections of the book reference planned volumes as high as volume 23, although this could easily be a joke.

and then i ask for her number obviously

"Only their children's had radiance, their eyes, the sheen on their hair, and in another way, their movements and their voices. Bright with a kind of unnatural brightness. It was not the wholesome lustre of a free flame, but of the hectic radiance that sheet-lightning gives suddenly to limbs of trees at midnight; of sudden flares in the darkness, of a fragment that is lit by torchlight into a spectre."

You seem to think that those are recognized absolute truly deserving animations. But no. They don't even stand on the same grounds.
>Akira
Animation porn, it has historical value but the narrative is poor both as an adaptation and as stand alone too.
>Howl
You could have said Porco Rosso or any simple Miyazaki stuff, it's nice and simple but not deep or mature. You already had Mononoke that's barely better.
>Grave
Again, the manga has everything that makes the movie great. It's also cheap drama made you to feel bad, it's made to be manipulative and everything else comes after.

It's okay, just that. It's barely on the same ground as a serious not cartoon movie. The sequel was namedrop the movie.

I never said those movies weren't good. I'm saying that putting them on the same level is missing how different they are, and struggling to find common examples makes it look like it's hard as fuck to find decent stuff.

If it was an entry level rec list it would be okay. As an example of the merit of the medium makes it look bad.
