I watched Ghost in the shell Stand alone complex 2nd gig. GitS is a cyberpunk/mecha anime about cyberised bodies and a special combat unit that works for the Japanese government. I really like the movies, but this was even better. There was a bigger focus on the relations between the unit members, and those are the stories that I really like.

Currently watching Asatte no houkou (Living for the day after tomorrow). Two girls (one about 25, one about 12) meet. The young girl is the sister of the older girl's ex. The young girl wants to become an adult (for reasons later explained in the anime), the older girl regrets a lot of her childhood and wishes she could redo things. Magically, they both get what they wish for. It's a theme that has been done probably hundreds of times, but it's done in the right way in this anime. The pace is slow but not too slow, there's enough time for character development and a little humour from time to time (but fortunately not the slapstick kind of humour).
