DISQUS

oh I'd have to be honest that I'm shocked that you do have some knowledge with anime !
I know you hate illegal downloading but if you can't find 5 Centimeters Per Second anywhere i think you should really consider it, It's one of the best movies i ever saw, it's one of those very rare anime that have realistic characters in realistic setting going through realistic dilemmas.
the name of the director who worked on both voices of the distant star (hoshi no koe) and 5 centimeters per second is called Makoto Shinkai and many people consider him the next miyazaki, so i recommend you watch almost anything by him.
The DVD and Blu-Ray of The Sky Crawlers will be released very soon and the DVD of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is available for a reasonable price if you ever consider watching any of those two.
I wanted to help you more with manga but i mostly focus on anime so i have better knowledge with it.

If you are interested you can also check out Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and The Dark Knight Strikes Again comics since i noticed that most who liked unconventional super hero story by watchmen also like those two comics.
when it comes to Manga, if you want a good story that is a single issue and not serialized i would recommend Beautiful People and The Voices of a Distant Star. i heard a lot of positive things about them though i haven't read any of them myself so I'm not sure wither its as good as people say or not, and don't worry they're not immature shonen mangas. :p
here are their reviews if you are interested though the reviews by ANN are not very credible.

also, if you are ever interested in watching anime i HIGHLY recommend three anime movies: The Sky Crawlers,The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and 5 Centimeters Per Second which are very good movies with mature stories compared to most other anime movies out there.

awesome place and a very nice touch with the ability to paint ! :D

what i really hate about it the location.
its like a house. :p
though ive yet to try out any of their dishes.
