Anime Shows: animes I have watched and may not be my top per say, I think they make a represntative sample
Anime Movies: like above, but much closer to my actual favorites

Ping Pong: the Animation: art, style, and story all top tier plus only 11 episodes

Legend of the Galactic Heroes: epic space politics
Odd Taxi: short mystery that feels really fresh

Akira: peak hand drawn animation

Sword of the Stranger: climactic fight is one of the best coreographed sword fights of all time
Porco Rosso: "I am a pig not a fascist"
Perfect Blue: fantastic psychological thriller with great use of the medium

Red Baron: Brick Oven: solid value pick with good dough and sauce
Geno's East: expensive chicago style deep dish, but sometimes you need that cheese soup and this hits the spot
Frecheta Naturally Rising: little more than the Baron, but higher quality dough and cheese

Roc-a-Fella's: New York Style with serously great flavor
Buchellis: a great pan pizza, regional to Michigan, if you are ever near one check it out
Giordanios: Chicago Style, that is available outside Chicago, but sadly nothing in Cincinnati yet
Krimmers Italinette: solid hand tossed pie, a little greasy but that is as inteded
Taglio: amazing pan pizzas, never had the hand tossed because the pan is so good, and they have like 3 different cheese pizzas
