Hey!

I just re-watched the anime movie 5 cm Per Second, which is a beautiful work of fiction, at least if you ask me. It's, in very short terms, a movie about growing up and letting go of the past, and the sadness which may follow from not being able to do so. I don't know about you, but for me this is an important thing to have in mind. The reason is that I'm a particularly nostalgic person, and, well, I often wish things haven't changed, no matter how good they actually are now. Heck, I even get that feeling when watching longer anime series, or at the end of one; I just miss the way things were before, if you know. Of course, there is the matter of re-watching, but it's just a temporary escape.
Anyway, this closeness I have with the theme of the movie; this identifying with the main character is what has made this movie something very special for me; not as an anime or movie fan, but as a human.
As a treat for you, the movie's ending song; One more time, One more chance (is an actual music video and doesn't contain clips from the movie)

Tuning in to wish everyone a happy new year ^^ For the occasion, here's a few lines for you to think about:
Often yearning requires earning
Even a small step, on a fir cone, could ruin a future forest.
An eagle doesn't wait for its prey to come to it; it has to seek out its prey on its own. It's the exact thing with a person and their fate.
Also, I'd like for everyone to give a small thought to the people in the world less fortunate than ourselves =)

I had a lot of stuff to talk about, but it's all gone out of my head during this Christmas Eve, so I'll just throw in a list of my presents:
- Lots of candy and money (duh! No Christmas without)
- Disney Hall of Fame: Don Rosa (fyi he's my favorite Donald Duck story artist/writer, so that's gonna be a lot of fun!)
- Norwegian Polar History II (a book of self-explanatory content from my great-aunt. Got the first one for my birthday, so I'll have some fun reading if I ever feel like learning about what importance Norway played in the exploration and research of and about the polar areas).
- Wristwatch (something I've wanted for a long time now. Just gotta go get it adjusted to my wrist width)
- A shirt
- A pair of pants
- A sweater a jacket
- Two boxer shorts
Here are some Christmas anime pics for your enjoyment!

Some people just don't have opinions. Like Llama_guy.
Llama_guy must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Llama_guy possibly have for not rating a single film?
