    The question is for the tilderinoos from japan( cause the movie only released there till now,i think).Did you watch the new miyazaki movie Heron and the boy /How do you live.
    How was it and heard it is different from his usual MO,If so how is it different?
    Also try to keep posts to no to low spoilers so as not to ruin it for the rest of us ,Thank you.
    I love ghibli movies and i for one can't wait to watch it when it releases here.Probably will do a ghibli studio marathon till i wait for this movie.
    Has anyone read "How do you live " by Yoshio Genzaburō or "The book of lost things" by John Connolly both said have been an influence for this movie?
    Should i read them before watching the film?

    ~travel would be a really good idea IMO it can be used to discuss travel tips,local cuisines,must see places,local events.
    As someone who really enjoyed r/solotravel reading peoples travel stories was really cool.
    It can be used as a tool for travelers to cross examine their gadgets,itineraries as well.
    As population of tildes is growing and becoming a more geographically diverse community,it can be a really helpful tool for many.

    i have been looking for good podcasts as well thank you for your suggestion.
    As someone pointed out earlier learning through media consumption may down the road lead to wrong ways of using the words and character(anime) like way of speaking.So hearing proper speaking methods should be helpful.
    Thank you

    exactly,the last straw for me was the guns season i couldn't bear through alicization though. You have my respect.
    Sao imo was a pioneer in the isekai genre(when it came to anime) it had some plot cliche that became very popular in this genre that later became kind of a template.

    as someone who have tried cochin variant of jewish cuisine i can confirm that they are great.
    fun fact: kerala the state where cochin/kochi is situated gets it's name from coconut tree.(kera which means coconut tree and kerala essentially means land of coconuts).Coconut plays a very large role in almost all traditional cuisines from kerala.
    Kochi has a very sizeable jew population and their culture is one that is very celebrated there.
