This show was interesting. Whether you should coexist with or kill nature that scares or disgusts us is a point of contention.

Glass Mask (1976) (Ch 1-37)
Drama Manga
Mangaka: Suzue Miuchi
Finished: Jan
4/5
I adore the main character, Maya. I just love clever characters who are really intense about their special interest. I'm excited to see more of her (gay) rivalry with Ayumi.

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1982) (Ch 1)
Sci-Fi Manga
Mangaka: Hayao Miyazaki

This manga is beautiful and also incredibly dense. It's sometimes difficult to make out the scene. But I still love the story and Nausicaä.

Voices of a Distant Star (2002)
Sci-Fi Anime Film
Director: Makoto Shinkai
Finished: Jan 21
3.5/5
This movie is so impressive because it was all made by one guy and it's his first ever movie. It's pretty and I like the themes but wasn't my favorite.

The Garden of Words (2013)
Drama Anime Film
Director: Makoto Shinkai
Finished: Jan 28
4/5
Again, really pretty movie. It was an interesting exploration of breaking social boundaries and the unusual/inappropriate relationships that arise from that. If the story took place at a school setting, their character development couldn't have happened.

Metropolis (2001)
Sci-Fi Anime Film
Director: Rintaro
Mangaka(Source Material): Osamu Tezuka
Finished: Feb 4
4.5/5
The villains being racist and anti-semitic caricatures pissed me off and Tima should've been brown. But I still really enjoyed this. We basically watched the life cycle of a girl until she is exploited for her God-like powers. But the hubris of humanity did catch up to them.

Mangaka & Director: Hayao Miyazaki
Finished: Feb 11
4.5/5
I was a bit skeptical of how this manga could be adapted into animation but I was pleasantly surprised. Nausicaä is a subversion of a fantasy hero and is so charming. Her pacifistic nature helps you empathize with even the scariest or ugliest organisms. You can understand why she was Best Anime Girl 1984.

Propaganda to make me like white people. It's not working!! Ending still made me cry though. The similarities in themes with the novel, Night on the Galactic Railroad, were fun to analyze. I also really liked the art style.

I really enjoyed Violet Evergarden (the character). She's sooo cute and also relatable. I do wish I hadn't watched the Recollections and just watched the show though. I think it messed with the pacing. I'll watch the show soon...
