Okay, I'm sold. I've been consuming a lot of shounen/seinen stuff lately (aside from Star Driver and Hourou Musuko, that is) so a dose of serious and/or devastating shoujo/josei sounds good to me.
And some of those caps remind me of the use of color and texture in Gankutsuou and Mononoke, which makes me excited.
And you know, reading this made me realize that stories where ordinary people do ordinary things are often shaken up by tension that they don't know about but that the reader/viewer is aware of (the graphic novel I'm writing my MA thesis about begins very much as an ordinary story about ordinary people living relatively ordinary lives, but because it's set in the Weimar republic, it generates a lot of tension because the reader knows that the only possible end to the story is that Hitler will rise to power and the characters' lives will be thrown off-track [or back on track, ouch] because of the beginning of WWII).
