i love the art style of old anime so much—especially when it gets late at night. it feels so nostalgic and i don’t even know why :)

the soft ost, scenic visuals, quiet moments; these are the things i live for. i read a few 20 chapters of the manga a long time ago so it was nice to be reminded of some panels while i was watching this. if neoliberalism and bigotry ever succeeds in turning the world into a barren wasteland beyond repair, hopefully i can spend out my days in a world of healing like this one.

the delicacy of life is something that has been irking my brain more intimately lately. im not sure if its because im getting into all sorts of shit that have very profound viewpoints of life, or if its due to a lot of different circumstances that have been going on right now for me, but, its been more readily apparent than ever.
yokohama kaidashi kikou encapsulates it. its been a hallmark of the "iyashikei" genre of animanga for a while now, which has been predominantly defined as a "healing-type" medium, by which it contains very little substantial conflict, and instead relies on quiet atmospheres and relinquishing the simplicity in the little things in life. the smell of coffee in the morning. the smile of that friend you've been dear to. nutting for the first time after a while. that sort of thing.
as the world takes its last exhale and enters a close, two androids venture the countryside and talk with ordinary townspeople, who grapple with the gradual decline of the earth. what ordinarily wouldve been an incredibly daunting eventuality seemingly drives the community closer together, even in menial ways.
the story somewhat meanders, but thats the nature of iyashikei. simply letting go and experiencing the flow of what is. yokohama kaidashi kikou's ova may not be an entirely perfect adaptation of the manga, but ive accepted it for what it does, which is breathing life to characters that, despite their pre-conceivably cold and robotic demeanor, have a genuine sense of soul and humanization. in a world that's on the verge of shutting its eyes for one last time, we let go of these boundaries and simply hold hands, ready for the impending end.
