Two examples of excellence from Japan

I second the Junji Ito love… if love’s the word for it. He’s written some of the most disturbing things, and does it well. Uzumaki is a favorite. It’s the story of a town “cursed by the spiral.” The different ways spirals send its residents twisting toward their doom is ingenious, and horrifying.

And then, there’s nothing finer than the original Ninja Warrior. It’s one of the few things I miss from cable.
