Japanese movies, they have this rhythm, this language that is completely different from what we would expect in movies. I find them fascinating. I've watched some of the old classics (Seven Samurai, Zatoichi, both the old and the new, Kagemusha....) but I'm far from being an expert.
Uh, and the artwork is really nice! I think it kinda captures some of that atmosphere, although you add a lot of personal touch.
