This week I just want to wish everyone Happy Hollidays.
I hope evryone has a good time and that it will get better for everyone whose time isn’t that great.
Feel free to post your presents if LN-Santa got you something good apart from the LN Awards Voting round (you all have already voted, right?!). Bonus points if you got something lightnovel related.
That’s Ginko from Mushishi. Probably my favorite anime of all time. Definitely worth a watch at some point. My recommendation though is always to just do at most one episode at a time. The show is very contemplative and I think it benefits from having each episode kind of roll around in your head a bit instead of bingeing your way through it. Relevant video essay about the show.
It’s an anime that is collecting dust in my library for years now but I never got to it. I’ll bump it up on my PTW list. Especially the contemplative part sounds a lot like my favorite anime, Haibane Renmei.
And would you believe it there’s even an relevant video essay about it as well :) (beyond ghibli is one of my favorite essay channels and I think that this was the source why I added Mushishi to my library back when the video cam out)
