Watching Ghibli movies as a couple is fun until your boyfriend turns to you and asks "Did you have a crush on that cat?"

Qifrey's dub voice is so nice and relaxing to listen to. 😊

"Tadaima Ojamasaremasu! (Pardon the Intrusion I'm Home!)" Upcoming TV Anime new visual & PV unveiled

Air Date: April 7

OP: 'C'est la vie' by Bullet Train

The series follows Rinko Nakama, a 24-year-old office worker who is a big fan of anime. Much to her co-workers' chagrin, she goes home early every day to watch anime. She lives next door to two men: Satsuki, a handsome man who acts sweet around her, and Usada, a hot-headed man who seems to be irritated with her love for anime. After a certain incident, the three's apartments become connected through holes in the wall, leading to Rinko's life becoming more complicated.

Rewatching the original "The Little Mermaid" animated movie while working on something else... I can't quite recall at the moment (early into it atm) if this movie ever establishes Eric as the heir of the throne of his kingdom.

I think it'd be really funny if Eric was actually a younger brother. So, like, maybe he's a duke, actually, but he still gets the title of Prince. Travels the sea a lot, unlike a more landlocked heir. Hanging out at this summer seaside palace while the rest of the family is elsewhere for some reason.

Like, imagine Eric's parents and older brother and maybe sister-in-law and niblings getting that letter at the end of this movie. Nearly drowned. Miraculously washed ashore. Fell in love with a mysterious voice and then a mute girl. Got enchanted by a shape-shifting sea witch and nearly married her. Killed the sea witch after she turned into a giant. Married the aforementioned girl who turned out to be the beloved youngest daughter of the mythical King Triton instead and have now established a strong alliance with the merpeople. Wild summer! Wish you were here!
