Raven

RavenI'm not sure what I can say about this series that hasn't already been said 100x by people much smart than me, but I will say this; I'm not the biggest fan of Tsunderes, yet, I found myself liking Taiga, there was just something about her that I found a rather endearing... and maybe a tad relatable, too. Very good series.

RavenI loved this series❤️ I've always loved Ghost stories, mythology, and folklore so this was right up my alley, and I love it. The art style is so beautiful, too. The stories can be a little hard to follow at times, with it's symbolism and never giving the audience a clear answer on certain things, but I rather like that about it. My only gripe is that I wish it was a little bit longer. Though, I understand that they do have a film that's set to come out next year in celebration of this series' 15 anniversary. I'm so very excited for that~

RavenMy rating of the stories in order: Yotsuya Ghost story: ⭐⭐ rather slow and boring for my tastes, unfortunately. The Legend of Tenshu: ⭐⭐⭐ better than the first, I actually found myself enjoying this story, but it was still a little slow and confusing. Bakeneko: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved this story arc, it was a lot more fantastical than the other two, but it was just beautiful with how the story plays out and how it concluded; I definitely understand how The Medicine Seller got his own series.

RavenI wasn't sure when I went in, but I ended up really adoring this. It was cute, fun and surprisingly intense at times, I really looked the man cast and the art style, very endearing. And it appears that they plan on coming out with a new translation of it soon, how exciting! Now if only they would come out with a translation of the follow up manga afterwards, that would be nice.

RavenIt was pretty good, but unfortunately it didn't live up to how great I found the manga, because of the changes they made. I also found the Japanese voice cast for Tada and Frol strange, they didn't sound anything like I imagined them to.

RavenI don't know how to rate this film, I liked it... I think? VERY good movie. For a film in which I already knew the twist for the ending, I was deeply surprised at how gripping I found the final act to be, and how overall upsetting (in the way a thriller is supposed to be) I found the film to be as a whole. Now if you excuse me, I think I'm gonna go cry to a pillow and then comfort watch cute videos until I feel better.

Raven10/10 got to see this movie at a early showing last night, and this might be my new favorite One Piece Film!!! It's like they merged my two favorite OP films together and I love it! Now I just have to wait for it to come to streaming platforms so I can watch it 10 more times... It as a really great story, music, action, animation and fan service (the kind that has a lot of fan favorite characters, not the other kind, though they did have a bit of that, too. Lol) #onepiece #fantasy #action #animation #drama #movies #adventure #action_and_adventure
