In Search of Number Nine — An anime blog
A search for my ninth favorite anime
I got some good news this week. After bemoaning that normally the anime films only come to Spokane or Seattle, I learned Weathering with You is actually playing right here, in the town I live in. So I don’t need to travel for five hours. Neat-o. Granted, I waited a bit too long before making […]
