Interesting to see how, while Science SARU becomes more corporate since being bought by a big company, Yuasa keeps making the experimental stuff he had hoped to make over there.

Banana Yoshimoto's novels are quite interesting: I personally enjoyed Kitchen. Masaaki Yuasa adapting her works is something I didn't know I wanted. Now that it's here, however, to anyone who haven't read Banana Yoshimoto: trust me; Yuasa is the perfect director for her works. No other director fits her writing style this much.
