I kept the images under the urls as they were. They're probably still under wp_content :D That way it's not too hard to migrate.

I don't think I implemented anything for image galleries though.

I remember being quite disappointed and disliking it. Checking my stored rating and review note, I did put it under 8/10 though, which confuses me quite a bit now. Maybe it wasn't as bad as I remember.

Still, it certainly didn't reach the exceptional levels of the series and side/prequel movie (Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll).

I'm a bit confused why the 2024 awards award a 2020 movie!?

The Dolby Cinema Japan Awards aim to recognize the creators and works that have been produced using Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos technologies in order to contribute to the international development of Japan's content industry.

I guess it's not yearly awards. Or it's the first one?

Godzilla Minus One

Does that mean 0 Gozillas?

too much detail; leading up to the findings that followLooking at the git lot, it looks like it was in 2018. I don't remember, and it's not documented that thoroughly in the commit messages log. Looks like I had content pages in Joomla, and the blog in Wordpress.

I may have exported the content via a plugin, or separate tool that reads from the database, did exported from the DB myself. I certainly did some mass-fixups via text search and replace. (I can recommend VS Code for that.)

Unfortunately, I had other projects that I migrated, so I can't remember which one I did what. :)

Now that I know the date, this is the migration blog post

I used content exporters to export the Joomla pages and Wordpress pages and blog posts into markdown content files for hugo.

Unfortunately, it's not more specific than "content exporter into markdown". But who knows if those specific ones would still be available today. :)

So I would suggest to use any Markdown exporter that's available now.

I really liked Uncle from another world too, but I wouldn't list it to that question. I guess because it's more of a comedy than with a spanning story and depth or development.

Scrolling through the comments to remember some of them,

  • Mushoku Tensei - great - the first two seasons have exceptional world building, story telling, contrasting, and developments; not everything is great, but a lot is; for me, last two seasons fell off a bit
  • Grimgar - very good - very unique, great world and characters and relationship between them
  • Ascendance of a Bookworm - very good
  • The Eminence in Shadow - very good - exceptional satire
  • The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady - very good until the ending, with exceptional visuals and vibrancy
  • Life with an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout - very good - great comedy with a gender bend/swap

/edit: Found two more from my list of good/decent non-harem isekais I replied to some no longer existing lemmy post.

It has unique visuals, but what really sets it apart is the great - what do I even call it - significance through realism? It has a lot of depth and is very different. It has my definite recommendation too.

Ascendance of a Bookworm. A really good one!

  • Bloom into You - girl falling for girl though
  • Whisper of the Heart - movie
  • A Sign of Affection
  • From Me To You
  • Maid Sama!
  • Tomo-chan Is a Girl!

First two I rated Great 9/10, second four I rated Very Good 8/10.

I don't see how trademark and copyright law would be a hindrance. Any multinational company and any company with global markets has to gain this expertise, and they contract lawyers to do so.

Steam can do it. Bandcamp can do it. Netflix can do it. Amazon can do it. What is supposed to be so different for manga or anime?

I think this clip only works for those who have already seen it and remember. Without the context, it's just random accusations without much in-scene.

I recently watched Back Street Girls: Gokudols, which has a very low frame and animation count. It still worked well as a comedy. It was enough.

Not that I want anime to be that way, but it can work for some.

Episode one has great action scenes and great peaceful-family-life with foreshadowing introduction - in great production quality. To the point where I can point to that first episode as great examples of action and mood-setting life-like family life in anime.

Unfortunately, it quickly goes downhill - for me at least - and by episodes 6 and 8 onwards becomes a CGI mech story with silly over-the-top villains and characters.

I was so excited and hopeful after episode one. Unfortunate.

I sat through the rest of it, which was at times worthwhile, but I skipped through the end which was predictable and more of the same in a style I didn't like.

I can certainly recommend checking episode 1 out for its production quality.

Have you watched it? How did you find it?

 

A Sign of Affection (2024) is a very good romance series. (jp Yubisaki to Renren)

A Silent Voice (2016) is a great movie. (jp Eiga Koe no Katachi)

Both explore deafness in a very meaningful way.

Have you watched them? What were your experiences and thoughts on it?


My personal assessment:

A Sign of Affection starts great. Positive, vibrant, and meaningful and with depth, exploring deafness. At some point, I felt like it's kind of the same throughout (stylistically and the kind of things happening), but it never lost its continuous progression in fitting pace or its quality at least.

I've wanted to rewatch A Silent Voice for a while, which also has deafness as a central theme, and I remember it being great - albeit quite different to the aforementioned romance. It has more struggling themes, and is a movie rather than a series.

Both had very interesting, insightful, and respectful depictions of deafness, which certainly elevated them into something very good and unique.
