Saw it. Saw her followup tweet too. If true, that's just so crushing, especially on top of everything she's been through

It's a humiliation ritual for Japan. Like TV shows that constantly undercut conservative characters. Yellowstone for example

I understand if you're a streamer on YT, but if you're just a watcher, why would you ever pay for it?

@dankumimusu I'll concede that some don't have the depth that others do, so they come off as more surface level entertainment.However, I disagree that people watch them for the visuals alone, nor are they boring. The visual style is unique, even amongst anime, in that it is immediately recognizable. There are anine studios that have similar hallmarks, KyoAni for instance. And Ghibli movies run the gambit from slow, more dramatic stories to large set-piece action.Speaking of, the pacing I can see boring for people, but if you watch enough Asian films, and Japanese movies in particular, there's a certain flow to stories they like to employ, and many of Ghiblis films also use this. There's a reason slice-of-life stories are often associated with anime. I think something like Kiki's Deliver Service would fall into this category. At the same time, I wouldn't call something like Castle in the Sky the same genre as Spirited Away or The Wind Rises. The latter two, despite having action sequences, are more drama focused stories.

@niobleoum A few critiques, but I mostly agree. I'll also add, how I interact with the movies has changed significantly as I've gotten older. When I was first getting into anime, I think my favorite was Kiki's Deliery Service. Later, I would say it's Spirited Away. Nowadays I'm somewhere between Howls Moving Castle and Porco Rosso/The Wind Rises, which I consider complimentary films.

@niobleoum I haven't seen any of those other than Totoro, I probably should.And there's an argument to be made that Totoro should be viewed as a companion piece with Grave of the Fireflies. I believe Totoro takes place only a few years after the war, and everyone is happy and healthy, fields are green and full. Meanwhile the reality was that the country was ravaged by the war, with many of the young men, like the father in Totoro having been in the military and getting killed in action.
