(brandon:) I tried! I am not loving it! it's very dour and sour, and I'm pretty over "tough guy who can't express his feelings" - it's been done so many times, so much better, that once I see that this is the drive, I'm kinda already over the core story device. So that's a challenge, and I'm not loving the combat! But I like the minimal exploring and collecting of things, so... I'll give it another shot.

2022-05-31 17:59:26 +0000 UTCGreat episode! I coincidentally watched Porco Rosso for the first time a couple days ago and was going in and out of conciousness for the last half hour, was planning on rewatching the end but now I am conflicted since I apparently got the intended experience lol. For the record I did not feel like falling asleep during it made me enjoy it more than I would have otherwise haha (I was on the couch, not a plane however)
