Just finished watching Suzume no Tojimari and I'm again awed by the astounding graphics, sound design and voice acting of Makoto Shinkai's films. A lot of people say it's "disappointing" but I didn't go into the movie expecting anything or with a critical mindset, and it was enjoyable, despite not being the best Shinkai film.382Please respect copyright.PENANA0eSUqv4GCr
His films conduct a little magic into your life, and I end up, well, wishing my life was more interesting. I want to go on an adventure. But... bound by the curse of capitalism, I will continue to strive to gain a well-paying stable job that will suck the life out of me before I get anywhere.382Please respect copyright.PENANALHGIR5ZF9m
I want to run. I realise Makoto Shinkai films have a lot of running in them, whether it's away or towards something (mostly towards). It makes me want to run too, both physically and metaphorically. But... I don't know what to chase after. It's not like I have someone-that-I-met-for-a-week-but-I-already-love-them or something. Anyone want to go on an impulsive trip overseas with me? Lol.382Please respect copyright.PENANA3B7yzPcwBz
The closest I've gone is a 5-day hike with no service and a bunch of strangers... along with my family. The boring part was walking, but it was fun playing card games with everyone, and since we went on a premium guided walk, we had a nice cabin to sleep in and provided three-course meals for dinner and breakfast. But at the end of the walk, I returned back to my house, sat on the couch, and had an existential crisis. Just like that, it was back to normal. YOU KNOW ANOTHER GOOD ANIME? A place further than the universe. Now THAT makes me wanna go on an adventure and do something with my life (Hinata best girl).382Please respect copyright.PENANAs61p44QY4D
Also can we talk about RADWIMPS' soundtracks??? They're amazing. Makes me feel like I'm missing something important...382Please respect copyright.PENANAFAceaICq68

MC really said she couldn't imagine a life without Souta after what, spending a few days with him? And most of their time was just spent closing doors! What quality time!
