Yu Yu Hakusho is a formative show for many otaku and is considered to be the best example of a tournament arc in anime. Its emotional connections are what endear the viewer to its colorful cast of delinquents and street punks, and that's where its live-action counterpart can't keep up.

The Boy and The Heron is Myazki's 12 film, and at the age of 82, he's clearly a master of his craft, but this isn't entirely the jewel that people usually expect from the director of Princess Mononoke (my Favorite Film) or the Oscar-winning Spirited Away.

Godzilla Minus One is A master class in how to make a Fantastic Monster movie that says something. Let's talk about it.

Also, sorry, the back half of the show was lost, and I wanted to realize something on time. There's still plenty of meat on the bone here, so I don't think you'll be disappointed.
