Checked out the first episode of Shiboyugi — incredible vibes. Esp. the sound direction stood out to me: subtle, deliberate, and perfectly timed (that saw room scene…). Also fond of the visual choices, like distance models lacking outlines & faces.
I def have to look into Souta Ueno's other works.

I’m generally not a fan of storyteller intrusion because it breaks immersion, but using a character from another Andersen story (Ole-Luk-Oie) as the narrator is a cool touch.

I thought the fireworks sequence looked great—it's well-integrated with the environments, and the full-screen wiping flash effect is a neat way to convey the bursts of light!

My favorite part was the thief/ambush scene. Gerda's compassion comes into conflict with the thief girl, who derides it as "foolish tenderness", even as she instinctively clings to Gerda—revealing how starved she is for affection due to her upbringing. Eventually, that warmth spreads to her as well.

I like how the film never lingers for too long, presenting new environments and encounters in an episodic structure. There's a certain magical feel to it, even though the fantasy elements are fairly subdued.

Watched The Snow Queen (1957). I was familiar with H. C. Andersen mainly through The Fairytaler (which I watched as a kid), so this had quite a recognizable feel to it. Apparently, this film was also a big inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki. Spirited Away came to my mind a few times.

watched a few eps of AoButa after hearing good things about it for years
really enjoying the sexually charged banter between Sakuta and Mai
I love the line filter they use in the EDs, and this part in EDv2 by Futoshi Suzuki is so cute 😊 (though the singing performance pales in comparison to v1)
