Wrong Direction

There's an old saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" . But in one sense I can see where you're coming from. I see posts on here saying how wonderful a series is and I wonder why anyone would want to watch it. I guess it's a case of each to his, or her, own.

This is why I wait until the whole series is available on CR before I start watching it. I had enough cliff-hanger anguish back in the old days when tapes/DVDs were released at roughly one month intervals. (On VHS you got only 2 eps per tape, DVDs usually had 4, but often the 1st disk had 5)

Yesterday evening I rewatched the Yuru Camp Movie, which was excellent those girls certainly enjoy their camping, cooking and hot springs! I was also interesting to see them creating a camp site rather than visiting one. I know I've said this before, but I really like it when a movie of a series continues the story rather than does a rehash of the TV series, that always seem to me to be a waste of good a movie production budget. Anyway... After I'd watch the movie I went back to Crunchyroll's home page where I spotted that they'd added Makoto Shinkai's latest film Suzume to their list that very day. So of course this evening I just had to watch it. After Your Name I found Weathering With You a bit of a disappointment, not that I thought it a bad film I just felt it somehow missed the mark. But Shinkai is right back on form with Suzume, it's an amazing film with an engaging storyline, beautiful artwork and animation and a good cast of believable characters. I'm definitely going to get the Blu-ray release of this film.

I've now finished watching series 2 of Yuru Camp. A absolute gem of a series carrying on the highly enjoyable camping and cooking exploits of the five girls as they explore the natural beauty of the Japanese landscape. I'm really pleased that there's going to be a third series sometime next year.

I was thinking about watching this. Why do you like it? What is cool about it? Charlotte. Well, not wishing to give too much away, it's about a lot of middle and high school students who all have some form of supernatural ability, or may develop one. What I like about it is that instead of the usual plot about them being members of a special school to learn how to use their abilities, they're there for their own protection. The school's student council members often go out to find ability users and either recruit them into the school or persuade them not to use their abilities because if they do it may cost them their lives. It could be said that it's a slice of life series, but it's a long way away from the usual SoL school series. There's a Sci-Fi element underlying the story and some of the episodes contain a quite a bit of violence. Overall, it has an intriguing and serious storyline, but not one totally lacking in humorous moments, however it is rather different and goes in a direction you might not expect.

It's dull, cold and miserable outside. So it's a good day to stay in watch anime and work on the model railway.

Ah, how times change. Back in 2020 bottles of hand sanitizer were like gold dust and even if you found a shop with some in stock there was a limit of one per customer. Now bottles of it are being used to hit people with.

A couple of years back hotmail asked one ot my friends to verify her identity, and then decided she wasn't who she said she was ! She gave up trying to convince the stupid hotmail computer and now has a gmail address.

And they're now lying all over the ground. One of my friends always complains when they come to visit me that I've not cleared up all the leaf fall, I tell them that it's a waste of time clearing it up because they're biodegradable and they'll eventually disappear without any effort on my part.
