The atmosphere at CWT is amazing; I go broke every time I go.
Kino's Journey is truly a masterpiece, every episode explores different social issues, and you'll think a lot after watching.
+1 I have this problem too, the speed at which I buy books is always faster than the speed at which I read them 😅
Actually, have you guys noticed that the protagonist Van is a bit similar to Vash from Trigun? Both are reticent gunslingers, and both share themes of revenge/searching.
Actually, have you guys noticed that the virtual world setting in Summer Wars actually predicted today's metaverse concept? Mamoru Hosoda is truly very visionary.
The works before "CLANNAD" were truly tear-jerkers. Young people today might not have seen them, but long-time fans all know the power of this series.
Actually, has the OP ever told their mom that these are out of print? She might really not know how valuable they are... but it's all hindsight now anyway.
Live concerts for anime soundtracks are also great opportunities to meet fellow fans. I met a few good friends at an anime song concert in Hong Kong last time.
I've read the original manga of The End of the Corridor! The atmosphere is amazing; if the anime can capture that gothic vibe, it will definitely be a masterpiece.
From the perspective of the soundtrack: Sometimes changing the composer for the second season can affect the atmosphere of the work. Consistency in music is very important for a series.
