[DISC] What's your non-Ghibli standalone anime movie 3x3 or top 9?

Here are the limitations:

  • No sequel movies, only standalone
  • No Ghibli movies
    This is a 3x3 format that I think really brings out everybody's unique taste, if you've seen enough anime movies to make one. If you can't fit the limitations, feel free to break them.
    I generate my 3x3 on here: https://gqgs.github.io/3x3-generator/

To label mine: 5 Centimeters Per Second, Macross Do You Remember Love, Christmas in January
Galaxy Express 999 Movie, Weathering with You, Pompo the Cinephile
A Silent Voice, Ongaku, Tokyo Godfathers
I allowed myself to include things like the Macross DYRL and Galaxy Express movies which are remakes of existing series.

YSK about the French Republican Calendar

An alternate calendar system briefly used by republican France. It had 360 days per year with 5 or 6 "intercalary" or leap days between years. It had 12 months of 30 days, which were comprised by 3 weeks of 10 days. Every day of the year had a unique name: a common plant, animal, mineral, or tool/equipment (ie January 31 was "Broccoli" and May 4 was "Silkworm").

YSK because it's an interesting alternative to the Gregorian calendar and the occasionally-proposed 13 month calendar.

Though it did have some problems such as starting in late September (very unusual for a calendar) and not having a robust leap-year system.

What are your favorite Tactical RPGs?

Looking to ask for people's favorite tactical RPGs because I have played a bunch but never really gotten into any. XCOM, Fire Emblem, Disgaea, Advance Wars, Fallout, etc.

Looking to see what other people love so I can convince myself to try something new or try something again.

Out of what I've played, Into the Breach was my favorite. Very dense, and the positioning is really important. The only one I actually finished.

A list of every anime to depict the Twin Towers

This is my list of every anime that depicted the New York City WTC Twin Towers contemporaneously. That is, only including anime from 1973 to 2001. This is not about 9/11, this is about documenting how anime portrayed one of the most iconic city skylines while it was still around.
However, I believe this list is not complete. If you know of any anime that show the twin towers, please let me know so I can add it to the list. Some of these are easy to find; if they are tagged as taking place in New York on AniDB then it's a quick skim through the show/movie to look. However others, like the Kimagure Orange Road movie, are much more difficult.
