Just Another Ravenclaw

I once saw a tweet that argued that anime discourse suffers from the fact that some people see anime as a genre, not a medium, and the "lol what's the point of anime that doesn't have Epic Battles for the Fate of Humanity" sentiment kinda attests to that huh

today im thinking about the huge buff bread guy from kikis delivery service. highly underrated guy

My favorite moment with him is when he goes to get some prepped baking sheets and he does this fancy twirl with them in front of Jiji. Like, there’s no other people in the room, he does this to impress a cat.

And the part where he wanted to surprise Kiki by making that beautiful elaborate sign OUT OF BREAD to advertise her business and he was all anxious for her to get home and see it

Is there anything sadder than the little chunk of Kikis Delivery Service when Kiki says "I used to really like flying before it was my job" and then gets so burned out that her magic stops working and she cant talk to Jiji anymore and she tries so hard to FORCE the magic that she breaks her mothers broom and stays up all night, alone, trying to make a new one and crying?

From what I recall, the first time I saw 'rainbow capitalism' from a big brand was this image from Oreo in 2012.
