My greatest discovery of 2023 is unquestionably anime series. I've never been a big series watcher in general and dove into longer formats only when I absolutely felt the need to (e.g. when my favorites like Lynch did them) but my decision to watch the "K-On" series after watching the feature film of said series (weird order, I know) changed all that. I guess I just needed to find the right aesthetic for something I'd be willing to give more of my time to. And for my money Japanese animation is truly the greatest in the world so it was a match made in heaven. I don't even know why it took me so long to get to long-format anime tbh - it was right there all along and I looked past it. And the best thing about it all is that I've only started my anime journey so I have a ton of awesomeness to look forward to.
The second discovery comes straight from the first one - in addition to anime, I've submerged myself into Japanese cinema in a way I've never done before. And it's been wonderful.

Discovering a rough gem like DEMENTIA (1955) makes the continual, curious search for movies well worth it. This cross between a noir and a horror film captures dream logic - or rather, nightmare logic - brilliantly, with the low budget and lack of polish further adding to its hallucinogenic quality. Could have done without some of the voiceover narration but even that does have some kitschy B-movie charm.
