When investigating unusual crimes, a United States Federal Bureau of Investigation agent is brought into a United States Department of Homeland Security task force that investigates such things.

It took a while to like it at all, but ultimately it was lacking an aggressively-pursued over-arching story arc. It was so damned episodic and boring. Also, the lead actor’s constant grimace is incredibly disturbing.

I gave this a good long shot, and by the half-way point of season two, I just had to abandon it.

  – It’ll definitely stay in my toolkit, because it’s tiny (33k) and portable. It’s what I wanted since the 90s. mcedit from Midnight Commander is still good.

A simple and small text editor.

This doesn’t really have a name. Even in it’s source it’s just called “Text editor”.

A series of unrelated voiceless-shorts, sort of sometimes stitched together with the theme of robots.

Fairly terrible. It comes across as a set of student efforts. I wouldn’t have been impressed even then.

See also The Animatrix – (2003 movie), sort of.

A pretty princess turned-warrior leaves paradise to hunt the god of war during World War I.

It’s got a slow pace, good mood and is not your usual superhero flick. The pretty girl really makes this movie, even making up for the ugly male lead.
