finished iconoclasts. weird feelings on that game. hard for me to dislike it but also hard for me to say i felt satisfied with it by the end, even though it had way more going on that pulled me in way harder than i expected

panko posted:but at a point the narrative goes from laid-back and bucolic to listless and uneventful. it does pick up later but doesn’t really recover/ignite the sense of wonderment that a good ghibli does I’ve heard that complaint before but I think that’s kind of the point. You’re supposed to feel what a painful waste of life her “marriage” is.

I got that but it doesn’t make for exciting watching. shes already pining in her tower to experience life at the start of the film and to go from that to languishing brainwashed in the basement while the wizard bed rots in his room is dreary and dull both narratively and visually. contrast to spirited away, where when chihiro loses her agency there’s a smorgasboard of sumptuous visuals to enjoy while the audience waits for forward progress in the narrative. and when she does snap out of it it’s kind of anticlimactic because the wizard is such a pathetic figure and the tower golem so short-lived that it doesn’t feel like a suitable payoff for how slow the middle of the movie is. even when she decides to see the golden bird herself it’s just to gawk at it. I understood the feminist theme, the idea that power and agency are wasted without anything to apply it to, that understanding why something works is much more powerful than just being able to use it, that almost everything we engage with in everyday life was created by intent by others, and that imagination is the most powerful magic, but nevertheless throughout the film it feels like there’s an incredible adventure (and its associated visuals) just out of reach

I think that's a very fair complaint, but I think that sort of strangeness is what makes the movie ultimately really memorable to me. Maybe it's an odd way to praise it but it's a film that really improves the longer it's been since I watched it.

Mostly not sick finally, still coughing a bit. Pros: I lost like 8 pounds, and also lost a craving for my daily soda drinks for the day, since just drank water for 2 weeks

This current run is 2 cour, so 24 episodes, which at this rate would be about half of the series

On the topic of dungeons, randomly had the Tower of Druaga anime suggested to me through da gaddang algorithm. I remember enjoying the 1st season a lot more than the second of that show.
