I laughed, I cried, I was upset, I was excited, I was nervous,
I fell in love, I broke up, I thought, I screamed, I kept quiet, and I finally enjoyed it.
And I made good memories for myself.

I believed that Eastern animation could offer the pinnacle of direction, story-telling, and pure Sakuga art. I believed that it was misunderstood like A Silent Voice. Under-appreciated like Grave of the Fireflies.
Then I watched Ex-Arm and now I don’t know what to think at all.
