#dailyGratitude Day 14:
• I'm grateful to/for mouthwash.
• I'm grateful to/for Bluey, a show that understands parenting small children almost as well as Yotsuba&! understands having a small child in your life.
@martynwendell Now provide yourself an opportunity to rewatch Belle & Sebastian!
Haha @ these promotional card I made six years ago as a thank you for backers who helped fund the printing of Monkess The Homunculus.
@JBsTwoCents In AYA, Abouet (and illustrator Oubrerie) relate stories from a very small window of Cote d'Ivoire's recent history, when the country suddenly had a booming economy. It's a period now lost to history, but watching these very human stories unfold is lovely and tremendous.
@dofbutterflies @jamesblakeewing Based on this, which you may not have gotten to before you fell asleep.
Ping Pong The Animation.
Adapting legendary cartoonist Taiyo Matsumoto's fantastic comic, legendary animation director Masaaki Yuasa (Night Is Short, Lu Over The Wall, Mind Game, Ride Your Wave, Devilman Crybaby) delivers a stunningly dynamic show that draws you into lives.
And one more (tho CR has plenty others): The Eccentric Family. It's by the guy who wrote The Tatami Galaxy, Night Is Short Walk On Girl, and Penguin Highway.
It's about the rambunctious intersection of the tanuki, tengu, and human worlds. Man, it's just chaotic and great.
A PLACE FURTHER THAN THE UNIVERSE.
A delight. Great writing, great illustration, great animation, great editing, great direction, great music, and most of all a great story that pays off on so many fronts.
And yeah, it's about 4 hs girls who go to Antarctica (almost believably!)
Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju is in my Top 5. It's the rare anime about adults doing adult things like going to work. It's about a bunch of people in the traditional comedic storytelling performance circuit - and its incredible.
