I liked Sukeban for a bunch of reasons, while i agree there could have been more action I still liked the action as was, the story was pretty good and also made me laugh in a lot of the scenes especially while she was in the school lol

Suicide Song is really good too but imo not as good as Suicide Club but better than Norikos dinner table.

Gachi Boy: Wrestling with a memory / Gachi bôi | Official Site (JP) | TRAILER (JP/EngSub)
Synopsis: Igarashi seems to have it all. He’s young, cheerful, friendly and blazingly intelligent. Though he still has one full year of university remaining, Igarashi has already passed the bar exam and is well on his way to a career as a high-powered lawyer. But Igarashi has one major problem—a serious accident a year before has left him with no short-term memory. He cannot learn anything new and gets by only with the help of detailed notes and photographs taken every day and left for himself to find in the morning. Clearly his dream of becoming a lawyer is impossible now, so what is Igarashi to do? Become a masked wrestler, of course!

Sweet Rain / Accuracy of Death / Suwîto rein: Shinigami no seido | Official Site (JP) | TRAILER (JP/EngSub)
Synopsis: Chiba handles his job with remarkable detachment and professionalism, observing his subjects for an entire week before making his decision. Given that Chiba’s “job” is that of the Grim Reaper, the angel of death, his final decision, more often that not, is a very final one. Not that Chiba takes any delight in terminating people’s lives. Quite the opposite. He finds mortal humans fascinating and sympathetic, and regards music as the finest expressions of our souls—not surprisingly, he spends his off hours in record stores. Accompanied by incessant rain (he’s never seen a blue sky) and his dispatcher, a black dog, Chiba watches quietly as the years, the centuries, the millennia drift by.
In the year 1985, Chiba is assigned to follow and judge Kazue Fujiki, a young woman with a tragic tale and an untapped talent for music. The decision he makes about her fate will have surprising consequences when we check in again with Chiba in 2007 and 2028…

Others already mentioned:
Always Sunset on Third Street (I & II)
SHINOBI: Heart Under The Blade (Check it out in Blu-ray!)
Sukiyaki Western Django (Dubbed in English originally; re-dubbed in Japanese; also on Blu-ray)
Twilight Samurai

Back in Feb saw on plane, K-20 Kaijin Nijyu Menso. Inspired by the Nijyu Menso character from Edogawa Ranpo. I thought it was an excellent actioner to rival Holywood fare in flash, and was overall a great movie. Action, mystery, bit of romance. I think it might have a US liscencor. I wanted to buy the DVD while I was there, but it was too new and not out yet.
