Soredemo, Ikite Yuku

Recently completed the greatest TV series I've ever watched. Mitsushima Hikari is no fluke. I thought she was quite impressive in Love Exposure, but she outdid herself here. The dialogue is slightly sluggish sometimes, but the subject matter is unusual, and rarely tackled, even in films. Kudos for daring to venture into unexplored territory.

The soundtrack is really good, in a Japanese kinda way. There hasn't been such great match of music and picture (as far as I can remember) since I watched Spirited Away nine years ago.
