What have you been watching / reading this week? (Anime/Manga)
What have you been watching and reading this week? You don't need to give us a whole essay if you don't want to, but please write something! Feel free to talk about something you saw that was cool, something that was bad, ask for recommendations, or anything else you can think of.
If you want to, feel free to find the thing you're talking about and link to its pages on Anilist, MAL, or any other database you use!
We watched "Weathering with You," which is a movie by the same director as "Your Name." It's about a teenage runaway who meets a magical girl who can change the weather.
The magical part is somewhat nonsensical in the usual anime sort of way, but I thought it was fairly realistic about why running away is difficult (stay in school, kid) and about teenage emotions. It also had some happy moments, and the art is quite beautiful, too.
Love those ones! The writer and director of those movies, Makoto Shinkai, has another one coming out this fall - Suzume No Tojimari (Suzume's Locking Up). The trailer (link) is short, but looks like it'll be another great film with more beautiful animation.
I watched movies Ame o Tsugeru Hyouryuu Danchi and Jujutsu Kaisen 0.
