#drifting home (Netflix)

Watched Drifting Home. I have used the ao3 downtime wisely, of course. Watching a documentary and a movie that each tore me open individually.

Things I have watched on Netflix whilst (really) ill and my rating of them: 

Dungeon Meshi: 100/10 - I started watching before I was ill, its worth buying a Netflix subscription for this, its great, SungWon Cho is in it, go watch it. 

Words Bubble up Like Soda Pop: 9/10 - A feel good, sweet film about young love in a very bright summer mood 

Drifting Home: 10/10 - Adorable kids go on a harrowing adventure Ghibli style, beautiful animation, sweet story telling. The children do act like emotionally immature children but you’d expect that. I watched it twice.

Children of the Whales: 7/10 - Fun, clearly misses bits of the manga. Some characters have a fun telekinetic glowy power called 'thymia'. One of the characters really feels like the writer’s OC, which is fine, but occasionally off-putting . World building was super fun, and I really liked the character Suou.

The Orbital Children: 1/10 - I'm giving it 1 just for the fun first episode. it seemed like it would start with good world building and had cute enough animation. Don’t watch it, I sunk 6 episodes of time into it with increasing frustration. It is a complete waste of your time post the third episode. It had ant man level writing where quantum was replaced with AI, and it just got worse. I was ill enough that the quality didn't matter that much.

The Garden of Words: 5/10 - just for the animation, which was beautiful - it was a story about a 15 year old boy developing a crush on a depressed English teacher, and they become friends, he doesn’t know she’s a teacher. It leaves you constantly wondering if the studio is about to condone something illegal until the last five minutes. Its ending is unsatisfactory but also inoffensive. 

Flavours of Youth: 4/10 - It's sweet, I didn't personally enjoy it that much. There was far too much narration and it felt a bit disjointed for my tastes.

Several hours Sir David Attenborough narrated animal documentaries, 10/10 - I like watching fish, and also many other animals - this was not on Netflix

I also watched a Scoobie Do Jeprody spin off thing called Scooby Do Guess Who? or something and that was strange - can't remember where this one was.

I have been so ill.

Drifting Home

I’ve just finished watching Drifting Home and i am absolutely shattered. I cried like 5 times?? 

The whole movie just felt so? I don’t know how to describe it. It’s just, it hurt so much but it also made me feel happy? The movie felt like a dream idk. And all the characters are so good, like actually, all of their friendships made me sob in the best way possible. Especially Natsume, Kousuke and Noppo’s bond???? It was so heart wrenching, like?? Genuine shivers. 

The story in itself is also REALLY interesting. The whole concept of an entire building suddenly floating on the sea and no one know how it happened? And everyone seems to see stuff from their memories? And again, the relationships between the characters are so well done. Like, they do act and feel like 11 year olds, and that just made it 100 times more intense? methinks. Like they’re so young, they’re literal babies. /affectionate

And also can we talk about the ANIMATION????? Absolutely fucking gorgeous, i’ll never get over it. It had this Studio Ghibli atmosphere in some moments, especially this one!!

The color palettes, the lights, everything!!

Honestly i suck at reviews, simply because most of the time i can’t describe how i’m feeling, but yeah, this movie was so good, genuienly. It made me feel so sad for so many reasons but a good kind of sad? Is that even a thing? 

YES also the character designs??? They all look so cute ahh! My favorite one was definitely Noppo! Second fav might be Taishi?? THEY ALL LOOK GREAT IT’S HARD TO CHOOSE!!!!

Btw i’m pretty sure Yuzuru’s voice actor is also Izuku’s??? WHICH MADE ME MELT especially since they kinda have the same personality?? 

Um idk what else to add haha. I could add on about everyone’s relationship with each other and the whole found family trope that i absolutely adore, and how they’re all blushing all the time which is also super adorable!!! And uh Noppo pains me like i love him so much he’s my blorbo!!!! He needs to be hugged. THE LOVE HE HOLDS FOR KOUSUKE AND NATSUME PAINS ME SO MUCH!!! It’s soooo i don’t even know anymore. I think i should stop writing or i’ll go on forever and no one will want to read all that!! Sorry!!

Overgrown Schezo HC/AU

Y'know with a lot of people (myself included) HC that Schezo still has the decapitated head and combine that with the fact that he lives in the woods, I'm kind of surprised an easy connection hasn't been made between those two statements.

But with the magic of poor Photoshop and a dream, that idea can become a reality. So I present to you,

Overgrown! Schezo

Essentially, combine the popular HC of Schezo's dubious mortality, his living conditions, his financial status, and the fact he constantly meddle with the fabric of magic every chance he can. At some point the Flora around the surrounding Woods just started to grow on him.

Positives: Can now talk to animals, being partially one with the earth makes him more attuned to all types of magic, can live off of just sunlight and water now, can absorb magic off the land itself along with absorbing magic off other mages

Negatives: Not only smells like a Corpse but now also smells like a Forest, attracts unwanted bugs, being a Dark Mage composed of Plants and a Corpse gives mixed signals

Drifting Home - Movie/ Film

Drifting Home 2022 - PG - 1h 59m (Movie/ Film)

Released in 2022 and available through streaming service, Drifting Home is an anime style movie following two childhood friends who reunite in their tweens in an abandoned housing complex they used to live in. Accompanied by their friends, each group explores the complex until they all come together and soon find out that the complex they are in is now adrift in a vast ocean. As their summer comes to an end, these friends must confront their emotions and the past to come together and find a way back to their world.

When I first got into this film, I knew it involved an abandoned complex and aesthetics I am a massive fan of while also showing off amazing animation skills by the team behind it. In trying to expand my watching habits and fall in love with anime again, I worked my way through this film and was astonished at its depth. I knew there was going to be some drama given the age of the characters as well as the circumstances they have been dealt but the past/ memories that we confront with them in combination with the events now occurring in this flooded world… I was pleasantly surprised by the adventure I had and look forward to continuing to explore animated films from other countries.

I think this film could make an excellent addition to a collection that features films for middle grade or rising patrons but could also add to the growing popularity of Japanese and Anime film and culture. While this may not be a special release for a popular anime, it is a strong stand alone film and could hold its own with the right audience. However, this film is only available through streaming so we would have to make sure that we talk up and make accessible our services that overlap with streaming platforms; through online vendors or Library of Things items. A way this film or those like it could be integrated into library activities is definitely in the realm of an anime club or watch club. At a library I work at, here and there we do anime afternoons in the teen space with snacks and shows/ movies that are of the genre. This seems like a great way to acknowledge and appreciate the adoration had for the art form and provide hard working students/ individuals with a chance to relax and enjoy themselves and maybe make some new friends along the way.

Drifting Home

[ Anime / Coming of Age ]

Where to Watch: Netflix

Rating: 7.5/10

Time for more movies! This movie is a very coming of age movie. Two kids who used to be best friends find themselves stuck in an apartment building in the middle of the sea with their friends. It’s a story about trying to find their way home and realizing how important home is.

Interesting concept. I think it could’ve been delivered better, but tbh the thumbnail art is what drew me into this movie. It’s so pretty and mysterious! It serves it’s purpose very well.

Great art. The art is really good, and I liked how nature and trippy things tied so well together. Some trippy movies goes all-in on the trippy aspect, but this played nature into it well. It made the trippy scenes feel more realistic.

Character development. They freak out for a bit longer than I expected, but their growth by the end is satisfying. The main characters especially were built well.

As for some cons of this movie…

I wish the plot was explained more. So many questions are left even after the movie ends. I get that most of it is symbolical, but I would’ve liked it even if they blamed it on a godly, religious figure at the end. Did it actually happen or were they delusional kids lol? We’ll never know. I think the plot could’ve been fleshed out a lot more.

Overall,

<Drifting Home> is a great, unique coming of age movie that has to do with friendship and how the death of family can change us. I liked how they talked about how important family is, even if you’re not blood related. Anime is something a lot of older teens/adults watch and enjoy, but I personally think this would be a great movie for kids too. The plot could’ve been explained better, but they definitely nailed the nostalgic, sad moments and the satisfactory ending perfectly. The flashbacks scenes flowed well with the entire storyline. I loved it! Give it a try if it’s movie night for you!
