I watched season one of Rewrite, because I thought the Asian Kung Fu Generation song would be on it, but that was FMA as it turns out. I liked Rewrite though. I’m definitely going down an anime rabbit hole now!

It’s not meant to be revolutionary - he even said so himself in the introduction. He just collated the best bits of advice and wisdom on the topic, and presented it in an easily digestible way. It’s like an alcoholic asking a therapist for advice, and the therapist says he should stop drinking, and the alcoholic says “that’s not very revolutionary”. We all have things we screw up and we know how and why, and the answer is something obvious. I think considering the time he wrote it, it was a pretty innovative way of telling people things they already know, but in a way that they might want to start listening.

Just finished watching Tokyo Godfathers. It was really good! I’ll watch it again at Christmas!

I also watched Naked Gun (I think the one) and it was really funny. I’ll save the other Naked Guns for when I’m in the right mood, because they’re so over-the-top stupid - but very well done and funny. Maybe I’ll watch the anime one soon… I’ve wanted to get into anime for years but don’t know where to start. Maybe this is the one that gets the ball rolling…

I watched Blazing Saddles… Oh boy. I was not expecting the full-on racial slurs right from the beginning. I know it’s mocking racists but it was still a shock. I wouldn’t watch it again but it was a fun watch.
