on topic of miyazaki.... friends and i have been watching his movies in chronological order so the last two we watched were porco rosso and princess mononoke

and god both are so top tier and messages ever so relevant

every ai bro who has reduced miyazaki to empty gentle aesthetic should no exaggeration get the judas cradle bc this man's markmaking & passion about telling WAR STORIES
