So I guess I need to write something, an inaugural post, for this new DW blog I made in preparation for escaping Twitter. It can crash and burn any day now, so please bear with me as I am trying to shake myself free from all the conveniences (and not-so-conveniences) of microblogging and re-learning doing stuff myself. Like... Man, did we really have to tweak that many colours during our LJ days?

Speaking of LJ, the title of this blog – New Access Identity – is a nod to my old LJ account, Access Identity. The account has been purged, apparently... which I did not regret too much, considering one of the last posts I made was about a Kpop group that I am reluctant to be associated with nowadays.

ANYWAY.

Last Saturday I went to watch all three anime films in Japan Film Festival 2022 – Blue Thermal, Poupelle of Chimney Town, and Inu-Oh. They’re very different from each other, yet I truly enjoyed each one. On purpose, I went in knowing as little as possible of each film, and somehow this worked really well. The surprises I got! The (low, or even non-existent) expectations exceeded! I just never knew that I would cry that much during Poupelle.
