We watched a lovely anime film at the weekend - "Kiki's Delivery Service" about a young witch leaving home to find her place in the world.

Her home village looked like villages on the south west coast of the UK whereas the town she moved to was clearly Germanic in appearance. I found the juxtaposition amusing.

When I looked at this picture my first thought was "Germany?" as if to remind me that there are (small) parts of the UK that look Germanic.

Sony buy up KADOKAWA shares to become largest shareholder of the FromSoftware parent company

There it is, the deal has been announced. Sony and KADOKAWA have "signed a strategic capital and business alliance agreement" that will make Sony the largest shareholder.

Just getting home from Spirited Away & the film remains as magical as ever.

Who else is going to Ghibli Fest at their local theater? gkids.com/ghiblifest/?gad_sour… #anime #art

I’m so looking forward to Hayao Miyazaki’s last(?) film, ‘The Boy and The Heron.’

The new Ghibli movie debuts Dec 4 & sounds wonderful, imaginative & timely. nytimes.com/2023/11/21/movies/… #Anime #Art This is a #GiftLink
