A Silent Voice

I started off 2017 watching Your Name and it ended up being one of my absolute favorite anime movies! This year I wanted to do something similar, so I began the year with watching another movie I’ve wanted to watch for a while; A Silent Voice or Koe no Katachi if you want.

I’ve read over half the manga, so I was curious to see how this would turn out. And I was  plesantly surprised! Beyond the fact that the artwork is amazingly beautiful, the story is so touching and brings forth a lot of emotions. Some people change, some people don’t. Relatable or not, this is a story you should watch!

A “new” Netflix Original

I just saw the trailer of a new upcoming (August) Netflix Original Movie. It left my mouth hanging, and I don’t know if I liked the news or not, yet. They announced a new movie based on the ever so famous phenomena Death Note! Personally, I really like both the manga and the anime. I haven’t yet watched the Japanese live action movies because I’m afraid I won’t like them.. or that I’ll be really disappointed.

Anyways, I guess I’ll just have to wait through the summer, and maybe I will change my mind? Who knows. Something tells me that I probably will check it out sooner or later! Until then I don’t know what to think, really.

“Happy New Year!”

Haha! That’s the title of my latest abandoned draft. Soo yeah, I tried to write that, like, 2nd of January or something? Oh well, better late than never!

Started off the new year by doing absolutely nothing. Almost. Just cleaned up after the New Year’s Eve gathering and then found my favorite spot on the couch; Reading books and watching movies and TV-series. Also been finishing my bedroom (moved to a new flat not to long ago – before Christmas though). So everything is beginning to look good.

Well, two months later and a lot of stuff is going on – school, school and more school! There are projects everywhere at the moment, so a lot of stress, but a bit later on a lot of fun to look back at. And not to mention, so much I get to learn from all this.

Back to the main point of my original draft: The first movie I watched this year was Kimi no Na wa – Your Name! It is directed by Makoto Shinkai, also known for The Garden of Words,  5 Centimeters Per Second and Voices of a Distant Star etc. If you like these, you will definitely like this one as well. Visually it is stunning, and the story itself is, I think, really original as well. I watched the movie online, but in two months time this will air in the cinemas in Norway! So when that happens I’m gonna watch it again!
