I’ll admit it right away, I’m not the biggest fan of Mamoru Hosoda’s work. They’re really well-made movies with beautiful art and animation but I just don’t connect with them for one reason or another.
I almost feel bad because I usually don’t have any good reasons for that either.
Sure, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Your Name, but I can pinpoint a few things that I felt didn’t work well. With Hosoda’s movies, they’re generally pretty alright, but I just dislike them for reasons I can’t justify properly.

It’s fall in most parts of the world. I am spending a year on a tropical island 50km away from the equator. In a land where it’s always summer, I find myself missing the whole fall a-e-s-t-h-e-t-i-c-s. I am beyond happy spending my days on a beach drinking coconut water. But sometimes, I do yearn for a warm fire and a hot drink keeping me warm from the cold sinister autumn air. So I’m turning to books to quench that need. So here is a list of all the spooky but not necessarily horror books that bring fall around me.
It’s fall and the new line-up for this season’s anime has been out for a while.
I’ve started some, I’ve dropped some and I don’t plan to watch many. Please note that I have not added summer delayed anime to this list. That is because I have already talked about them on another blog post linked here.
