Okko's Inn (dub)
That was great! Very moving and funny in places with some excellent characters. Not surprisingly it's quite Ghibli-esque as the director was either art director or on key animation in 8 films plus Nausicaa. I would say visually quite Miyazaki, but tonally a bit more grounded like Takahata.
I brought this without knowing anything about it apart from the seeing the artwork of the cover. There was another adaptation of 24 half length episodes which came out in Spring '18, but it didn't get picked up for streaming. By the sounds of it if I had seen it, I might not have got this thinking it was a recap film, but the film has different staff and, apparently, takes a darker tone with the material.
It has a lot in common with A Letter to Momo, in that spirits help a young girl who has to move to a rural town after a tradegy, but also I would say it's a darker version of Spirited Away! Her parents are taken away from her and she ends up working in an Inn/bathhouse and she learns and grows, but there's no getting them back this time!
9/10

Sword Art Online Alicization: War of Underworld (English Dub) Episode 5

Overflow Episode 7 [Uncensored] Morning hanky-panky.

Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll (Film) (A welcome instalment into the series franchise. With its wonderful story (which was emotionally touching at times) made this into a visually beautiful spectacle from start to finish. KyoAni really out did themselves with this. What I really appreciated about this film was the fact that it also included a "In memory of" dedication in the credits to those who worked on the film, who unfortunately lost their lives in the Kyoto Animation arson attack and tbh that was a nice touch. Overall thoroughly enjoyable). 4.5/5

Very mixed feelings on this one. While I really enjoyed Genesis the sequel just doesn't feel quite the same. Sure it has it's fun but the story is rather messy especially when it concerns romance. Gonna rewatch the Mysteria Friends spinoff soon seeing as I had more fun with that. 6/10

Re:Creators ep1-3

I remember being a bit dismissive of this back when it was airing, but for the life of me, I don't know why. It's well produced, it really commits to its slightly daffy premise and it sounds good too.

Quite an intense episode, but I've forgotten the who's and the whys of most of the characters. Probably should have waited and binged it.
