I've been in discussions with Dave Watson (the person behind Being Upfront), and he's offered these titles for addition to the list. Comments?

Remainder of this post is Dave's words, not mine, although I have added links to the pages we have for the works.

First of all, Cowboy Bebop needs to be represented. What category exactly? Good question.

Magical Girl Deconstruction: Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Of course.)

Giant Robot Deconstruction: Bokurano

Mind Screw Trope Codifier: Angel's Egg

Slice of Life Tragedy Trope Codifier: Clannad

Sports Anime Deconstruction: Yakitate Japan!

Let's try to think of some movies to add. I'm trying to do this without listing almost every Studio Ghibli movie, so I won't mention any. Yes, I'm cheating a bit by going through pages listing essential anime movies and going "Damn, how could that not come off the top of my head?": The Girl Who Leapt Through Time Perfect Blue Memories The Castle of Cagliostro Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise Macross Plus Barefoot Gen Metropolis (which I wish someone would put out here on Blu-Ray here) Night on the Galactic Railroad (which WAS put out here on Blu-Ray; should get my hooks on it soon) 5 Centimeters per Second The Dog of Flanders Dirty Pair: Project Eden Space Pirate Captain Harlock: Arcadia of My Youth
