Week 110 Update: Essence of Life

You may wonder what that title means, but I recently watched the movie Maquia: When the Promised Flower blooms, and it was extremely good, but no surprise coming from Mari Okada. She's one of the best director/writers for movies involving human qualities and relationships, but that's probably partly due to her troubled past and you can see this from the Wiki and also from interviews about movies she has previously made. This knowledge acts value to these movies, because her experiences and how she perceived the world is translated into her works. And I'm sure many people with social anxiety or something can relate to this, since Mari Okada also had social anxiety during her childhood. I know many normal people can laugh at people with these problems, but anime is one of those things that motivate me to keep on going and for me to live. I probably grown tired of caring about what other people thinks of me nowadays.

I already got a brief outline of topics of what I will write for the review of the movie, but I still have an exam in 2 days, so I need to focus on that first before this review. Hopefully I can write it by this week, if not, it will be next week, depending on how I feel after the exam. There was so many thoughts and emotions in my head when I watched it and these still lingered after finishing the movie. Can't wait to let you netizens hear my thoughts on it.
