the place promised in our early days



Song of Week - from the animation feature film 'The Place Promised in Our Early Days'. Japanese title reads ' Kumo no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho '. Info@ Animenewsnetwork

It's a movie about two boys' dream of conquering the high-rising tower that dominates the city in a mysterious way and also a girl who dreams about the fate of the earth. There's a relation between the two of course. No more spoilers. The art is absolutely breath-taking although I didn't quite enjoy the story or the character designs(a bit childish and inconsistent).

The girl who plays violin is sweet and shy. When the two boys asked her to play something for them, she hesitated but eventually brought her score and music stand to the centre of the wooden floored classroom and positioned the violin against her shoulder. As the melody drifts beyond the open windows to the vast expanse of blue, an innocent summer's dream slowly unfolds in sweet memories, before the harsh strike of fate devours the last warmth of their golden time.

- watch it and the above blabbering might make some sense...

Neighbour's cat doesn't have a name. She just calls him 'kitty'.
'Kitty, come here! NO, Kitty!' - most frequently used phrases when it's the cat's dinner time and when he eats off the wrong table, respectively.

Some days ago when I was cooking fish, the cat stalked behind me like a hungry ghost. And when he wants you to feed him, he'll rub his fur against your leg, twice, three times, until he's certain that you've totally ignored him...

BUT CATS ARE JUST SO ADORABLE!!! I'm going to pet a cat after I get a job and a house lol. Ideal type of cat for me: lazy ,nasty and temperamental. Feel like a masochist.
