A Whisker Away

A civil war wouldn't have disturbed Rebecca from her slumber this morning,so I snuck out if bed to get a head start on enjoying my Sunday. Mostly virtual sailing in the high seas once again, followed by more games by myself.

I did spend the evening watching a newish film with Rebecca though. Netflix's 'A Whisker Away' is an anime film about a Japanese schoolgirl who can turn into a cat. Simple and charming enough premise, but somehow the film struggled to win me over. Somewhere between the odd pacing, brash characters and uncomfortable sexual undercurrent it just failed to engage me. If anything, it made me appreciate just how easy Studio Ghibli projects make anime filmmaking look.
