Howdy doody! It is once again comic update time!

Last friday I went and saw Odyssey in 70mm and I really enjoyed it! It wasn’t in IMAX but honestly I didn’t mind. Initially I was wary of seeing it due to its nearly 3 hour run time but after hearing others say it didn’t feel it’s length I went screw it since I wanted to get one more movie in for the month to take advantage of AMC A-List and boy was it a rather quick almost 3 hours! Didn’t feel its length!

I also started watching Hiwou War Chronicles on recommendation on blue sky, which I am also enjoying very much! Currently about 11 episodes in. It’s basically mid 19th century Japanese steampunk starring a group of kids and their clockwork mecha. It’s the first TV anime series headed by bones, who’d go off to do full metal alchemist and junk. Aired from 2000-2001 and features cel animation which I love very, very much. It’s also got a nice soundtrack which I’ve been listening to while at work the past few days. Here’s a song for example! The version that’s on crunchyroll is based off a new 4k rescan of the original film reels, so it looks suuuper good! Downside is it’s in crunchyroll jail so who knows if it’ll ever get a bluray release. I sure hope so!

In other news yesterday people from the apartment came by to spray for pests. By virtue of being in a studio apartment there was nowhere to hide Aisha and Gene so as not to get in the poison, so I wound up locking them in my walk-in closet. At first I debated whether to bring them to work in their carriers but I figured they’d be better off staying home, what with being in a familiar environment and having some room to move around. If I took them to work they’d be stuck in their carriers the entire time while people coming and going and most likely approaching them to see and try to pet them. Didn’t want them to have to go through that.

Anyway that’s all for this week! Laters!
