Like the author, I thought Lost in Translation was okay when I first watched it in my late teens. I watched it again when I was living in Japan and it brought me to tears, particularly that scene where she's calls up her relative from her hotel room. I think the original Neon Genesis Evangelion is a masterpiece and hits differently as an adult compared to when I first watched it when I was the same age as the teenage protagonists. Anything worth watching is worth watching again, and again, and again. I may be behind the times and have to silently take the back seat whenever discussions move towards the latest episode of Breaking Thrones 99, but I'd rather consume media when it's been divorced from the hype. "The best thing, though, in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was. Nobody’d move. . . . Nobody’d be different. The only thing that would be different would be you." - The Catcher in the Rye.
