Kiki's Delivery Service - Eiko Kadono

Translation: Emily Balistrieri

Read: Apr 2023

I really, really love the Studio Ghibli film of this book. So when I saw the book in a local book store I jumped at it. I was very interested to read the source material. Now Kadono wrote this for her young daughter so it is truly a children's book. The flavour of it is different than the film, but the similarities are still there. There is a lot more material in the book and a lot of it felt childish. I guess that was to be expected from a children's book. It has been so long since I read a children's book that I'm not really used to reading writing for children. I enjoyed this book, it was fun to read, but in the end I felt the film did a better job with the story and with the character of Kiki.

Info: Yearling, 2020; originally: Majyo no Takkyubin, Fukuinkan Shoten, 1985

Sooo I was tagged by @nanomooselet (sempai noticed me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) no but really woooow a person with so much such cool trigun meta knows I exist? I’m literally starstruck)

But I’m stupid and I don’t know who to tag in return :( I’m not even sure I know how to see who I’m mutuals with? I’m a technological granny that’s all anyone needs to know about me lol

But the questions are actually different:

Last song: Not Found by Buck-Tick. That’s a great song, I kinda forgot existed and actually expected to listen to Mudai (which means “No name”, so, it’s not that weird to confuse the two).

Favorite color: green. Deep moss green is the best, but any hue is great.

Currently watching: ugggh. Thanks to my husband I watch ongoings now ( >___>) they are suddenly really good. Everybody knows Dungeon Meshi, I think. It’s already a cult classic as a manga and Trigger continues to make history. I’ve juuust finished Frieren and Apothecary Diaries, Bucchigiri and Warumono San no kyuujitsu, Yubisaki to renren and Majyo to Yajyu. Have started Yoru no kagame wa oyogenai (PLEASE WATCH IT. JUST FOR THE CINEMATOGRAPHY ALONE! PS - god I love the way anime of this new decade uses “camera movement” and colors. Tengoku daimakyo and Chainsawman are probably the best examples here, but this slice of life/music dramedy already looks amazing) and Shyuumatsu no train wa doko e iku (this is boringly simple in the art department in general but the promise and the visualization of the surreal parts is really good, I’m hooked!). Gmg. I do watch movies as well, like, Poor things and Aliza Frankenstein are extremely good. Dune is very beautiful. Mami Wata is a black and white gem of a movie. But I think I should shut up already.

Sweet/savory/spicy: savory I guess? However I’m not a native English speaker and had to google for some time as I’ve previously considered savory not a taste, but… a feel? Dunno.

Relationship status: married. As for friendship, it’s mostly online as most my beautiful ladies live far away ~_~

Current obsession: Trigun. And. Like. Really. It is an OBSESSION. I love all the characters, I literally fall asleep and wake up with them on my mind. I’ve made myself a felted Vash toy. I’ve watched Stampede twice (don’t look at the number of things I watch. Without my husband I can’t finish shit. But this! I’ve screencapped every second of it it seems. I’ve read manga in English and Japanese (and sometimes badly translated to Russian for the lulz - there’s so much swearing it’s basically a different story). I’ve committed two art pieces for the first time in my life. I’ve put art on my walls and my laptop. And I even returned to reading fan fiction after almost a decade of staying away from ao3 (no shade here, I just never loved anything as much as to need any additional materials. Except for Hannibal. But that show was too perfect and didn’t need anything but deep analytics on the symbolism). Hmh. I want to plug “Becoming Eden” by Lenipes here. It’s so good it has become a fourth trigun “canon” for me.

Last thing I googled: how does savory taste lol

Hehe. That’s so long. I guess I just wanted to vent a bit?

Who can I tag? @6wings-manyeyes @esotericbird

Sorry to bother you. No pressure and all that~ just a little tag game to get to know mutuals better.

I love the soundtrack for this movie (But I love Matsutoya Yumi in general, so maybe it’s a bit biased lol)

Studio Ghibli's First Full 3DCG Feature Earwig and the Witch to be Aired on NHK This Winter

Goro Miyazaki serves as director based on the planning by Hayao Miyazaki

NHK announced today that Studio Ghibli's all-new anime feature based on Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle)'s 2011 children novel Earwig and the Witch (Japanese title: Earwig to Majyo) is set to be broadcast on NHK General TV  in the winter of 2020. It will be produced as the internationally acclaimed studio's first full 3DCG feature.

Goro Miyazaki (Tales from Earthsea, From Up on Poppy Hill) serves as director based on the planning by his father Hayao Miyazaki. Hayao liked the original novel so much that he planned to make it as a feature-length anime. Hayao's first directorial work Future Boy Conan (1978) and Goro's first TV directorial work Ronia, the Robber's Daughter (2014) were aired on NHK, so the father and the son have a close relationship with the station.

Synopsis:

Not every orphan would love living at St. Morwald's Home for Children, but Earwig does. She gets whatever she wants, whenever she wants it, and it's been that way since she was dropped on the orphanage doorstep as a baby. But all that changes the day Bella Yaga and the Mandrake come to St. Morwald's, disguised as foster parents. Earwig is whisked off to their mysterious house full of invisible rooms, potions, and spell books, with magic around every corner. Most children would run in terror from a house like that . . . but not Earwig. Using her own cleverness—with a lot of help from a talking cat—she decides to show the witch who's boss.

After searching relentlessly to remember the name of some hilarious manga I wanted to read, obviously the moment I remember it I also discover that I can't read it online. Does anyone here know where I could read Majyo Rin online?
