Omoide no Marnie

「思い出のマーニー」 (Omoide no Marnie)
“When Marnie Was There”

It’s dispiriting to think this could be the last Ghibli film to grace our screens. But at the very least we ended with one of the studio’s best to date.

Kaguya-hime no Monogatari

「かぐや姫の物語」 (Kaguya-hime no Monogatari)
“The Tale of Princess Kaguya”

Takahata Isao delivers what presumes to be his final Ghibli film, and if that is the case, then what a send-off it was.

Kokuriko Zaka Kara

“From Up on Poppy Hill”

One thing’s for sure – it can’t be easy being Miyazaki Gorou.

Kimetsu no Yaiba S2 – 07: It is a shonen. Shonen protagonists have insane endurance. What did you expect? Jan 20, 09:11

Sasaki to Miyano – 02: Why is it that ukes must play hard to get? (xD) Anyway, all jokes aside, that’s really interesting you would… Jan 19, 13:33

Sasaki to Miyano – 02: oh absolutely, for me it didn’t really register until the awkwardness set in then finally let out a hard laugh.… Jan 19, 13:17
