    Cure Speaking of bleak, Koji Yakusho (one of the greatest actors ever) plays a detective who's investigating a string of seemingly unrelated murder/suicides, it's a hypnotically captivating movie, and deeply unsettling. Alongside Pulse, it's one of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's best, a true masterpiece.

    7. Cure Film as an act of hypnotism, every frame and edit packed with a subtle persuasive power. Kiyoshi Kurosawa is a master of framing, and knowing what to show and what to imply. And the implications in Cure are chilling. A haunting piece of psychological horror.

    They literally show canned film reel upon canned film reel of episodes of Dragon Ball GT & the original Pretty Cure up front. Now, to be fair, Pretty Cure did actually get an HD remaster & Blu-Ray in Japan back in 2023... but you can't say that for GT! Even Crunchyroll just re-releases the DVDs!
