I guess I did start SchwarzmarkensomethinglongandGerman I could catch up on. Same with the Rakugo series.
On an unrelated note, it is quite hard to find a good Cowboy Bebop AMV that encapsulates the feeling of the series. There are a lot of AMVs, but they often focus on just one aspect. But hitting that right note of wistful, sad, and bittersweet seems to be beyond most that I find. The closest I've come is one set to, quite appropriately,
Bittersweet Symphony. But it's really quite old and it shows in the level of editing.
Also, so many of them focus on Knockin' on Heaven's Door, which in my opinion is actually a bit inferior to the main series.
