I am trying hard to get my mojo back into anime having had almost zero interest in it for a couple of years. Some highlights were the recent Shinkai films and one or two others.

Right now I'm watching "Summertime Render" which is not at all what I expected and is both compelling and quite hard to watch due to a fair bit of gore and death and so on. Not really my thing but the story is quite good. A kind of Groundhog Day with a lot of violence.

Then there is "Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway" which seemed a bit dumb initially but which I am taking to slowly. The weird thing is I am sure I've seen this before, though not as an anime. I wonder if I read the manga years ago? I'm apprehensive that it may go in a weird direction but equally it could go in a nice fluffy direction as well.

Watching "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai"

I didn't realize until into ep 1 that I had seen this one long ago... general premise seems to be that if a person loses popularity, they will become invisible to others, basically disappear... interesting precept... It also has a "Groundhog Day" happening... I'm up to ep 5 now...

Just finished watching "Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop" (original title Cider no yƓ ni kotoba ga wakiagaru)...

A wonderful story that brought tears to my eyes, much like "Whisper of the Heart" does...

In what was listed as a similar movie, I also watched "A Silent Voice" and one of the main characters is a girl who happens to be deaf and first appears when introduced as a new student to her 6th grade class... (This one didn't affect as much as the '...Soda Pop' movie, but was still good...

Watched the 13 ep's of "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU"...

Set in a High School and some of the interaction between a number of the students and a good deal of angst involved...

Oh, both of you mentioned some things I've had my eye on!

Some people I know a little bit are fans of the Summertime Render manga and I thought it looked pretty interesting. I haven't got to it yet as I have a few things I'm meaning to watch, but I still think I would like to try it out.

I've also been wanting to watch A Silent Voice, and I saw trailers for the soda pop one but I didn't hear much else about it. Maybe I should give it a look after all.

Watched "Higehiro: After Being Rejected...." this afternoon... I don't know where I read the recap on the series, but I do agree that for a coming of age storyline, it did have its 'dark points', but it held my interest throughout!!! I was going to pass oh the DVD to my Grandkids, but I think that I will cancel that idea!!! lol three of them are girls:13, 16, and 18... (Mommy and Daddy might be a bit miffed if I did)

The last two nights, I binge-watched the anime series "TO-RA-DO-RA". It's been a few years since I've seen it last, but I enjoyed it! Loved the ending that I had forgotten...

I watched Chainsaw Man a little while ago. I know there's supposed to be more coming some time soon, so I'm looking forward to that.

After that I started Lycoris Recoil since it was something I heard good things about last year. I haven't got very far into it yet though.

Arren, how did you find Chainsaw Man? I've seen the preview and I'm keen to give it a watch.

I recently finished watching BNA, it was pretty wholesome and an easy watch. Colours and backgrounds are gorgeous.

I'm hanging out for the Uzumaki series that's been teased for a while now.

I really liked it! The characters are likeable (if deeply messed up), the themes are interesting, the action is exciting. There are some funny parts too, and the visuals are great. It has a bit of an edgelordy side to it but if you don't mind that, then it's worth trying!

Thanks Arren, it sounds interesting, I'll definitely give it a watch! I've seen the preview a while back and thought I'd give it a go at one point, but I'd forgotten about it until I read your post.

I finally finished watching the third (and surely final?) season of Mob Psycho 100. Very satisfied with how it all ended up!

That is a series I've heard so many good things about but have never watched. Must find a boxed CD set or something and binge on it.

Woke up abt 4AM and couldn't get back to sleep, so I got up and went to Netflix... Watched Jackie Chan's "Wish Dragon"... Not a Ghibli, but still, I liked it...


And now to sleep, perchance to dream...

Received my order of "Kimi No NA Wa" yesterday and watched it last night... Only minutes into the movie and I realized that I had seen it ...
before... I was enjoying the story and watched it through to its end...

This morning I looked through my DVD collection and guess what I found? The same movie!!!

Ah, Well, I'll just do as I have done in the past and donate the second copy to the local library...

Watching an anime series on Netflix... Caught the first five episodes Monday night and went to watch ep6, but it showed that it would be available on Aug 9... After I tried shortly after midnight for the 9th, I had to wait until about 7am to view it... E7 is now going to be available tomorrow... sigh, lol Sad parts, but it is holding my interest...


In the meantime, I watched NiNoKuni again...






Edited for three spelling errors...
