You're gifted with words man. I'm sitting here ready to read a preface or a mini biography, especially that last sentence. But soon, when we go traveling again, I'm have to post those pictures and tag you too. Aaaaah, I bet the air was crisp and relaxing.

Congrats buddy! I remember my first trip to Japan! Maybe after you return we can do a podcast discussing your trip? I'd love to put it on my Rajionippon section!

All g it will get handled eventually lol 😂

But I was thinking, with 700 people on the podcast, someone will want to/be able to…

Even if everyone did $2 each that’s $1400 and it’d be settled.

That’s awesome you get to experience Japan, the Land of Ninjas, Anime, and Samurai. Speaking of Anime, I have a recommendation: Frieren Beyond Journey’s End. If you have access to Netflix, I highly recommend it.

Yeah man! And thank you!

I don't have Netflix as I don't want to support some of their work or stances. But I will see if I can figure out watching it on my friends!

My book linked in this post, Darkmaw: Yosei Tach no Kyoen, is heavily inspired by Spirited Way. Well… spirited away inspired my dream, which then inspired book… as it is with all my Darkmaw stories.

Cool. I’ll look into it. I’ve only seen Princess Mononoke and From Up On Poppy Hill. I should really rectify that.

Yeah man they are so good.

Spirited away my favorite.

Then Howls moving castle.

Then Totoro.

Then the boy and the Heron.

Spirited Away will probably be my next film, but what’s your preference: English Dub or Original Japanese?
