Anime!

A good review of Now and Then, Here and There.

My first though was “Wow - this must be old!”. I’ve gotten used to watching anime that fits within a somewhat homogeneous style, so when I see something like this it is rather a shock. It actually isn’t that old - it was released in 1999. That’s newer than Lain (1998) or Utena (1997). Unfortunately my mind links that style with stuff like Speed Racer, or Lupin, and I often have a hard time enjoying something like this. Luckily that wasn’t a problem with this one since the story soon took over and I stopped noticing it.
