Questions are good things. They are there to get to know others and to find the common ground with each other, with the people we want to love. Well, I would think that the biggest thing I need to learn is to love myself. I think at least. I like lists, I make lists, mainly about anime and manga that I want to read and watch. And sometimes about American books too. My life does revolve around things that I consume. And I do not know if I am fine with that. I would like to fancy myself that I like philosophy, but in truth, I like the idea of philosophy. In the sense, philosophy means the love of knowledge, because we cannot know everything. So we need to start with things that we do not know, even though there are many famous figures in philosophy, I do not want to read from them. Because the biggest thing that I do not know if myself. And, as I am right now, I am more interested in filling the emptiness in me, if that makes sense. But I like questions. So, I went out and looked for que...

100% Renewable Energy review "Just a short review..."

"Short film directed by Kubo Amika and sponsored by WWF Japan as part of their campaign to move Japan away from nuclear energy and towards the use of renewable energy." - myanimelist.net

Score: 6/10

This was made in 2012 and it was classified as a special.

I always hate to do something like this, but this animation sadly for me didn't really work. The message is really important, especially at a time like this, turning towards much more healthier energy is important, but I would have imagined something a little bit longer. The timing at these things is really important, things can fall or stand on them, especially when we are talking about advertising. Because this is an advertisement, at least messages like these come down to the people as such. Here we are advertising, trying to bring attention to green energy and to a better solution, it should have been longer.

However, this was between Kubo Amika's first works, she has other short animations where she is listed as director and I am interested in the anime series, Urahara that she had directed in 2017. I will get around it one day. I do hope that it is better.

There is no problem with the animation, it is actually well made and had the imagination to it. It is a really short watch, I can't really say that I can recommend it to people, but a watch won't hurt anyone.

"Bungaku Shoujo" Memoire - Review

Score: 9/10 "Bungaku Shoujo" Memoire is a three-part OVA, that depicts the characters before the movie had taken place.  This was needed since the movie adapted almost the middle section of the light novel series. It was made by Production I.G, has the average length of an anime episode. Director: Tada Shunsuke. Producer: Kuroki Rui. Sound director: Nakajima Toshihiko. It is not needed to watch to enjoy the movie, but it gives context to a lot of things that the movie didn't have time to get to. It does carry the same atmosphere as the other OVA does, more light-hearted but it has narrative value as well. It can come out as filler, however, I had never had any problems with filler content.

A Boy Who Fishes Dreams - review

Score: 8/10 "This one shot has won 3rd spot of Daewon manhwa contest, and thus the author has a high(er) chance of being employed by Issue magazine." (Source: Sura's Place) This is a one-shot made by Hannah-hye, serialized in Daiwon in 2012. ☾ The art is a little bit off, I can't really put my hands on it, but the characters are a little bit stiff looking. But this is something that can be accepted from someone who only has one worked credited to them yet - this may be the creator's first work. But there is a lot of potential in them, just by seeing how they are leading the story. The background is actually okay, the scenes are well set. ☾ The story is about two boys who are in employment in an illegal dream recording business. They are giving hope to people whit recording their dreams and playing it back to them via nanotechnology. This is a futuristic technology that was banned because of criminals using it to blackmail people, which I can see happening even tho...
