Baahubali - This was originally in Telugu, but my library claims (this is incredibly unreliable) that their copy is in Hindi. I don't know those languages apart by sound, so I'm not sure what the version I watched was. This is the first half of a longer story (I think the next movie may be out in India, but I haven't checked to be sure) of a lost prince finding out who he is. The second half of the movie is a long flashback to his father's life that ends in a cliffhanger. That part started right when I expected the movie to be over.
Aria the Animation - This is a slice of life anime series with no villains and no particular angst or drama. It's very, very low stress. It's set on a version of Mars that has been terraformed to the point that it has enough water for cities to use gondolas for at least some transportation. The story follows a girl who comes from Earth to Mars to learn to be a gondolier.
Miss Hokusai - This is a Japanese animated movie about a famous artist. It makes some assumptions about what the audience will already know, so I'm quite sure I missed a lot of details. It's been a while since I watched it, but I think it's set some time in the Tokugawa period rather than after the Meiji Restoration. It's not linear and doesn't exactly have a plot of the sort that people used to Hollywood would recognize as such. There is child death, but it's not-- How to put it? It's the sort of signposted long illness not long for this world child death, and the focus is on the title character interacting with the child (her younger sister) before that.
Jodhaa Akbar - My library says their copy is in Hindi. This is historical fiction about a famous arranged marriage between the Mogul emperor Akbar and the Rajput princess, Jodhaa. The love story is famous. The movie is very long.
