Things I have watched on Netflix whilst (really) ill and my rating of them: 

Dungeon Meshi: 100/10 - I started watching before I was ill, its worth buying a Netflix subscription for this, its great, SungWon Cho is in it, go watch it. 

Words Bubble up Like Soda Pop: 9/10 - A feel good, sweet film about young love in a very bright summer mood 

Drifting Home: 10/10 - Adorable kids go on a harrowing adventure Ghibli style, beautiful animation, sweet story telling. The children do act like emotionally immature children but you’d expect that. I watched it twice.

Children of the Whales: 7/10 - Fun, clearly misses bits of the manga. Some characters have a fun telekinetic glowy power called 'thymia'. One of the characters really feels like the writer’s OC, which is fine, but occasionally off-putting . World building was super fun, and I really liked the character Suou.

The Orbital Children: 1/10 - I'm giving it 1 just for the fun first episode. it seemed like it would start with good world building and had cute enough animation. Don’t watch it, I sunk 6 episodes of time into it with increasing frustration. It is a complete waste of your time post the third episode. It had ant man level writing where quantum was replaced with AI, and it just got worse. I was ill enough that the quality didn't matter that much.

The Garden of Words: 5/10 - just for the animation, which was beautiful - it was a story about a 15 year old boy developing a crush on a depressed English teacher, and they become friends, he doesn’t know she’s a teacher. It leaves you constantly wondering if the studio is about to condone something illegal until the last five minutes. Its ending is unsatisfactory but also inoffensive. 

Flavours of Youth: 4/10 - It's sweet, I didn't personally enjoy it that much. There was far too much narration and it felt a bit disjointed for my tastes.

Several hours Sir David Attenborough narrated animal documentaries, 10/10 - I like watching fish, and also many other animals - this was not on Netflix

I also watched a Scoobie Do Jeprody spin off thing called Scooby Do Guess Who? or something and that was strange - can't remember where this one was.

I have been so ill.

me on a weekend

I watched drifting home on Netflix today and it was adorable. I cried at the end when natsume hugged her mom and they were both crying. I also cried when they had to leave noppo. The reviews on letterboxd stated the movie as boring or not much to it but I found it to be so interesting! I’m so glad I watched it.

9/10 rating for me. -1 because occasionally throughout I found reina to be a little annoying but I also get it girl.

Next I’m watching Weathering With You!

Anime: Drifting Home

[shipcestuous-two]

Not sure if this even merits a submission really but figured I'd mention it anyway.

I recently watched the anime film Drifting Home on Netflix. The two main characters are Natsume and Kosuke. Neither of them are blood related to each other, but due to Nastume's fractured home life, she comes to live with Kosuke's family at a young age and she's essentially raised as part of the family. She mentions that she looks at Kosuke's grandfather as her father figure, and beyond just being best friends it is frequently mentioned that the pair are basically siblings.

However, it's made very clear throughout the film that they both want to be more than "siblings", and by the end- while nothing is ever outright stated- they are obviously going to end up together. (This point is made even further evident as there is another character who is actively trying to get with Kosuke romantically, but his attention is only ever on Natsume)

Nice find, Anon. Thanks for sharing!
