Today I got tagged by Medieval Otaku with The Creative Blogger Award, and since I won’t have my Prison School post done by this evening, this makes for a very nice filler post.

Kiki’s Delivery Service || A Weekend Flick
Kiki’s Delivery Service is one of Studio Ghibli’s most well-loved films–I think that’s pretty safe for me to say. 😀 I came to appreciate Kiki in a roundabout way, as it wasn’t love at first sight. I thought it was a decent film at first, but I didn’t connect with it–I was sick in bed…
Porco Rosso || A Weekend Flick
It is of my opinion that Porco Rosso is one of Studio Ghibli’s most under-appreciated films. The majority of the film is a masterpiece of atmosphere, drama, steady pacing, and character execution. We are treated to a subtle but beautiful celebration of women, which is what gave this film the extra boost into my personal favorites….
7 Letters to Characters From My First Year In Anime
Characters are one of the most important elements of any type of story–quite possible the most important element period. Today I’m sharing several characters who were influential during my first year of anime. They either made me laugh, or I connected to them, or they were just memorable characters. I’ve written them each a short letter, too, because I’m…

Arrietty || Tuesday Tunes
I’m roping Tuesday Tunes in to my celebration of a year of watching anime! I want to highlight the OST of Studio Ghilbi’s The Secret World of Arrietty today. The soundtrack was one of the many important elements of the film that really grabbed my attention and heart during the fateful film experience. Thanks to…
The Secret World of Arrietty
I’ve roped today’s “Weekend Flick” to fit my year-of-anime celebration! Today I’m going to review the special Ghibli film that got me to give anime a second chance: The Secret World of Arrietty. I’ve always loved the idea of little people. I devoured a book series called The Littles when I was growing up–I still…
One Year Of Anime!
Exactly one year ago, I watched a Studio Ghibli film and fell in love with anime. I’m so glad I keep a film diary, otherwise I would not even be aware of this wonderful anniversary! 😀 I’m so excited about this milestone…for so many reasons which can’t fit into one post. So, to celebrate during the upcoming two weeks, I’m going…
