Although A Letter to Momo doesnโ€™t center more on that aspect, just seeing those three troublesome youkai is enough to pique my attention, *wink. The animation is also beautiful. I love that it instantly reminds me of my fun childhood memories in the countryside. You could say that the animation alone already gave that fun rural vibe which fits perfectly in this movieโ€™s setting. Definitely a big plus for me! As I mentioned above, A Letter to Momo isnโ€™t more on the youkai aspect but they played a big role in this story. As per synopsis, Momo and her mother moved to the countryside after her fatherโ€™s death. In there we get to see her struggle to adapt in her new environment plus her heartโ€™s unrest because of her fatherโ€™s unfinished letter. Her quiet and lonely life in that unfamiliar town took quite a turn by the arrival of three troublesome youkai. These three youkai have peculiar appearance and personalities. Although they can be annoying sometimes, I have to say that they are mostly fun to watch. Their shenanigans were usually hilarious with some of them leaving you face palming, lol. It was also interesting to know more about them, especially on their โ€œsecret missionโ€. I think it was pretty fascinating. After giving me a laugh, this movie also left me in tears. A Letter to Momo delves more on the struggle of the remaining family members after the death of their loved one. Here we see how Momo and her mother deal with their own grief differently, which also resulted in conflict later on in the movie. There's more to say about this movie, read my full review in the blog! Link is in my bio ๐Ÿ˜Š #anime #recommendation #animereview #otaku #animefilm #alettertomomo #lettertomomo #drama #supernatural

A rounin called Nanashi (meaning 'nameless') saves a young boy Kotarou and his dog Tobimaru at an abandoned temple. Kotarou has no family and is pursued by a mysterious militia organization from China so he hires Nanashi as his bodyguard. And thatโ€™s how the perilous journey of the three started. I always love samurai stories (but mostly those that are set in the Feudal era) and I am lucky that I havenโ€™t encountered one that I really hate. And as you can see on my rating above, I absolutely enjoyed this movie. I love that it has the right combination of action, adventure, emotion, and a whole lot of blood, wahahaha. Oops, I sounded like a madman there, lol. Plus the animation and swordplay was lit ๐Ÿ”ฅ Read my full review posted on the blog.

Contrary to what I expected, Suzume no Tojimari not just left me in awe with its animation but also with the story. Suzume no Tojimari is definitely one of those few anime films that I believe showcases amazing animation with an equally compelling story. Must watch! Read my full review posted on the blog.

This is the 11th book of Alvirah and Willy series but it can still be read standalone. For mystery lovers out there, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try! The full review is now posted in the blog.

Contrary to what I expected, this one is not a manhwa, but a manhua! I don't alway love romance manhua because they tend to be frustrating and cliche, but this one is far from that. The characters were also very likeable plus the art looks really good. Favorite part would be the second book. Highly recommended! The full review is now posted in the blog.
