I will get back to these movies when I see all of them, but let me just say that the animation is the best to-date or by using another reviewers comment: "You can use any random screenshot as a wallpaper". Music is also excellent, but where the movies really shine are plot and characters. It has been a long time since I was so amazed by an anime.
