i appreciate you reaching out, truly. ive been finding it very difficult to move on. this is my first loss in my 20 years of being on this planet, its unbelievable to me how humanity has grappled with the pain of death for centuries.
judging from your posts im guessing you read my mushishi comment, can i ask what the show means to you? i dont think he ever finished it but jasper loved that show, the soundtrack and little tidbits of philosophy behind every episode entranced him.
I can definitely understand what you mean with Tokyo Godfathers, there's a certain quality to that movie that makes it feel very genuine, as if it were the story Kon wanted to tell his whole life. I feel it's his most memorable work in a sense, maybe because it's the most simplistic, but I do appreciate the beauty in its simplicity. I believe last year Tokyo Godfathers finally received a proper English dub, so I'm very much looking forward to revisiting the new remaster. Millennium Actress also got the same treatment with a new release, but I haven't been able to find a copy on the web. The original release had some terrible clipping issues with the English audio track, for someone like me that loves to watch in both languages it was pretty infuriating. I'll make it my 2021 mission to revisit all these movies.
