OK, I am pretty sure this applies pretty well to my dog. It's not all the time, but seems to be the case most of the time I've looked. Speaking of looking . . . I hate to think of what those two years of research were like, with the thousands of observed 'events'. That is one sad, sad graduate student somewhere there.
Oh, man. I couldn't even finish that one. It was too much. FYI, Ano Hana makes you cry so hard that your eyes hurt for wanting to squeeze more tears out, but being empty. Still, the ending is uplifting and happy. It's a beautiful story.
Anime can be very compelling, and I can see how it may help shape the Japanese character. After all, one of the signature phrases of the series "Aria" is "Let's work hard to earn our qualification". There's one series (Moshidora) about a girl who reads Drucker's "Management" in order to manage her high school baseball team. The series features quotes from Peter Drucker on 'what is marketing' and 'define your product' and such like. A recent series that just concluded its first season is "Silver Spoon", about a student at an agricultural high school. He learns about raising pigs, tending horses and making smoked meats Much more appealing than my description, and I suspect it is a bit of propaganda to encourage young Japanese to consider the farming life, to revitalize the rapidly ageing farming sector. Anime can be a fascinating subject.
For a real rip-out-your-heart tearjerker, see Ano Hana (We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day).
I hope this is not inappropriate, but I watch my anime online at crunchyroll.com. It's a totally legit site that had started out as a place to see fan-translated/fan-subtitled anime. They somehow negotiated deals to stream subtitled anime with advertiser support or subscription, and it has a great selection.
The choral music during the jump was "Atmospheres", which was featured in Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey". It was nice to see it being used there. Really, really nice fidelity to the original monster design, and I was very glad to hear that familiar 'zilla roar.
EEeekk! That crunching noise of the dry, dry snow just sets my spine to cringing! His wife sounds like a gentle and loving soul, married to this crazy man who she loves dearly. It's very sweet to see this.

Oh, man. There's another brand of veggie haggis!

For more bizarre anime goodness, though maybe a bit nsfw, there's Upotte!, in which assault rifles are personified as middle-school girls
For a peaceful and calm atmosphere, there is nothing like Aria.
