It was good and held my attention. Pace and dialogue felt right and the mystery didn't feel too cliche. I was dumb and read the plot for the next two books so I'm not as eager to continue, but I am looking forward to how the next season of the TV series goes.

Yeah definitely that's how I understood it, but now it sounds like they are categorizing Hispanic as a race not an ethnicity.

Yes! I was thinking Nausicaa would be beautiful to see on the big screen. I did Howl's last year and it was nice too.

 

What movie will you see?

I know this isn't that important in the grand scheme of things, but I will always be confused on what to put for myself. My family comes from Central America (I have dual citizenship), so I should pick Hispanic, right? But my family is also white Hispanic, my cousin's have a range of blonde and red hair, light eyes. I also have some Asian Hispanics in my family.

Hispanic really isn't a race and it feels like I'm not supposed to pick it on the census because I don't have the right skin color.

Whereas someone who does look Hispanic the way people think of, but maybe their family hasn't lived there for generations, they get to be considered more Hispanic than me. It's just confusing.

 

I'm currently reading the book series that Howls Moving Castle is based on and it's so charming! Some big differences but I feel like the tone is similar. I'm curious what other good ones are out there based on other Ghibli movies.
