7. May 2026 in Asakusa: Debut of Otoaki おと晶 (Geisha) and Miyaaki みや晶 (Hangyoku). Congratulations for passing the first part of your apprenticeship to both! I don't know if any other debuts are scheduled in Asakusa this year, but the last time there were four debuts in a year was in 2017 with two Hangyoku from Kawamura and two Geisha from Kawai.

My thoughts on: Grave of the Fireflies

Well, one word to describe this movie is depressing. I knew it was gonna be that way, but DAMN!!! Some of the things they showed...I had shivers crawling everywhere. Like damn! 

Also found it slightly boring...I mean, I've watched war-related before and it was more attention grabbing. Maybe I felt this way because of what I'm used to watching from Ghibli. IDK, but it was okay to watch, probably won't watch it again, but it did have real good parts. Almost cried couple of times.

The art was beautiful of course, as it always is in these films. Like I said some of it had my skin crawling because of how gruesome it was, and others had me marveling, even over the destruction, because that's how good the art was.

If you want you can check it out, tots go for it, but if were to recommend a Ghibli film to a friend, this one wouldn't be the first I'd mention.
