I have a lot more time to discover new music during this quarantine, and music has helped me get through this time. Here are some songs I have been listening to on repeat! I hope you find something new/something you enjoy on this list.
REWATCHING STUDIO GHIBLI I
After watching the four-part documentary called "10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki" (you can watch it for free too with English subtitles here, I highly recommend it), I have a newfound respect and understanding for Miyazaki's films. I will be omitting Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, Whisper of the Heart, and Grave of Fireflies from my list, due to the fact I have rewatched them previously, and still have a lasting impression of them. Also, I don't want to break my heart, again, watching the last movie of what I just listed. I will be rewatching Ghibli Films in the order they were released. If you are a die-hard Studio Ghibli fan, I think you know what I'm about to review...
ANIME REVIEW | APPLYING KANT TO ANIME?!
Whenever a conversation about anime strikes up, I always recommend these animes because they are some of my favorites: Soul Eater, Naruto, Blue Exorcist, Kaichou wa Maid-Sama, Kamisama Kiss, Asobi Asobase, Death Parade, Paradies Kiss, You Lie in April, and Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. I'll tailor recommendations, but these are all great. I rewatched Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica in hopes of finding something new and crying my eyes out.
TOSS A COIN TO YOUR OUTLIER
The Witcher appeared everywhere on social media and real-life: Geralt's bath scene, toss your coin to your witcher song, Jaskier and Geralt's bromance, and conversations with people. I avoided watching this show because I am not a fan of shows; I prefer movies because they're shorter and less of a commitment. Also, everyone kept comparing this show to Game of Thrones. I don't hate the latter; I'm just not a die-hard fan.
QUARANTINE MUSIC MONDAY
QUARANTINE 2 | WHAT I AM READING & BOOK HAUL
Hello everybody! How are you? I hope you are well. I'm not gonna repeat all the descriptions and instructions people have written and said. I want y'all to know I moved my desk chair somewhere, so I am sitting on top of a trashcan while typing this post on my desk. All about them cold openings here on my blog!
QUARANTINE | POST I
Hello everyone! I hope everyone is well. A long time has passed since my last post. Now that classes are online, I have a little more time to pursue hobbies and read. Hopefully, there will be a book review soon; I recently placed an order for some new books! My spending has been out of control because of social-distancing. What are you guys doing? What are you watching? Drop some recommendations in the comments. I'd love to catch up with you guys.
LATE TO THE MOVIES and to finishing this post
Bohemian Rhapsody
I didn't watch BR in theaters when it came out because I wanted to cry in the privacy of my own home, which I did, twice. I like Queen, I am not familiar with their entire discography, only their famous hits, but I do love what I've heard. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to listen to them while Freddie was alive, like how I had a chance to listen to Bowie while he was alive. Their music left an impact on my life that I was unaware of. When I was in elementary school, I would do the stomp-clap rhythm from We Will Rock You in the cafeteria, I would sing "we are the champions," and I didn't find out that was Queen until a while later.
