Words from Noragami, ch. 45

Words in bold are particularly relevant to the story, and words in italics seem like they’d be worth remembering outside the context of the manga. Bold and italic together means they’ve probably appeared somewhere in Noragami more than once. [Though it's been a kajillion years (okay three actual years) since I read it so I can't promise I can highlight them well anymore...]

Words from Nukoduke, vol. 5, part 3

Words in bold are particularly relevant to the story, and words in italics seem like they’d be worth remembering outside the context of the manga. Bold and italic together means they’ve probably appeared somewhere in Nukoduke more than once. Kinda long list but it’s for a whole volume… actually it’s too long for tumblr, so splitting into three parts.

Just got back from seeing The Boy and the Heron and its gorgeous (as expected) but right now my main thought is that Robert Pattinson NEEDS to do more voice acting, like I'm seriously so impressed he is completely unrecognizable in the film

#film #anime #anime and manga #animation #japanese film #japanese cinema #the boy and the heron #studio ghibli #hayao miyazaki #robert pattinson #i feel like even a lot of pretty good “celebrity voice actors” still tend to default to using what are basically their own normal voices #so i was really impressed that he absolutely did not do that at all
