The Boy and the Heron (A Studio Ghibli Film)

Rating: 7/10⭒

●◉Visually stunning.

●◉I'm one of the Ghibli fans. Almost all of their movies are my favorites.

●◉This isn't my top favorite, but the story is deep. Some might get confused. I had a few questions after watching it, but I think the movie was really meant to make you think.

●◉This movie is about people working through and processing their grief together. Letting go, accepting it, and moving on.

●◉I think the great granduncle here represents Miyazaki himself. You need to watch it to understand what I mean.

●◉Overall, I enjoyed the entire story. The animation is beautiful, as expected from Ghibli movies. Also, I would accept the great granduncle's offer because that world is better than my current reality...

Project 17 - Eliza Victoria

❸/❺ 🌠

≛ It has a lot of potential. But it felt incomplete. It was rushed. I still have so many questions. The events weren't explained enough.

≛ Suddenly, this thing happens, and then it leads to bloody outcomes. It doesn't make sense. Hmmm.

≛ I still enjoyed it though. It could even be made into a movie. I read it in one sitting. It was a page-turner.

≛ But I really felt unsatisfied. I was hoping there would be more. But there wasn't. I guess you can't have it all after all. 🤷

The Demigod Files - Uncle Rick Riordan

𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 4/5 ✮

☙ 3 short enjoyable stories. What else can you expect from Uncle Rick?

☙ My favorite story is the one with Percy and Clarisse. It’s a miracle they’re not killing each other here. lol Honestly, Clarisse is one of my favorite characters. A lot of people really misinterpret her. Others only notice her being a bully. But there’s a reason behind that. I like her. She’s trying her best.

☙ It also helped that I’ve seen the first Percy Jackson movies, so while reading, I can imagine the faces of the characters. 😊

☙ Another cute addition to Uncle Rick's short story books. Of course, it’s fun to revisit Camp Half-Blood. 💚 Highly recommended!
