finished listening Hollow Knight: Silksong (OST Sample) 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
Very small sampler, only 2 songs long, but having completed the game, in my opinion, it gives a good idea of what type of musics to expect from the game without giving away too much.

finished watching Suzume 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Pretty good imo.
Story overall isn't anything groundbreaking, but it could balance pretty well drama/suspense, humor/levity, gorgeous shots that help giving a scale of what's happening, and a soundtrack that is there as needed. Also thanks to this visual/environmental storytelling, the movie doesn't need to say much to tell the story.
Still, #SuzumeNoTojimari feels a bit more rushed on the second half. And even if it doesn't sour the experience, it lowers my score for it into a solid 8/10.
Would want to comment some more things, but with the lack of spoiler tagging in NeoDB, Idk how to do so. Also it gives a very slight feeling of watching #TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime, even if the scope of the two movies is way different.
And lastly, for the ownership folk, I can confirm the release with SKU FG-10962 comes with both #BD and #DVD! =D
Sadly no DRM-free download though.
finished playing Samurai Aces 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Played the delisted Steam version of #SamuraiAces, appid 1261980 since I don't know if it had any other delisted versions.
It's overly hectic even for a #shmup, or at least the ones I'd seen yet, so patience may be needed with this one. Or, if you got a version that can be emulated, or even whose ROM can be built from the game files, abusing save states would be a good idea too (though patience is still advised).
Story is as basic as an arcade game from Psikyo gets from the few I saw so far, so not much to say on that front.
Music, art, enemy variety and stage progression do the job, I guess, but I was too busy trying not to die to pay deep attention to those hehe
Still overall, it was fine, feeling like a 6/10.
finished watching The Big O 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
It was an interesting watch.
Story-wise, rather cryptic, and some elements are left to interpretation, though in a good sense.
On tone, not very familiar with noir, so unsure how it compares to others, but at least imo, it was well executed.
On animation/art, characters have a bit exaggerated proportions, like they're out of a comic book, but nothing that the watcher can't get used with. And in the mecha sections, they do feel like building-tall metal objects, instead of being animated slideshows as mechas usually are.
On sound direction, it is minimalist but effective - not many musics but played when needed without getting old, mechas' sounds also do seem like a machinery's, and the English dub is great for the noir tone.
There's a bit of humor, but rarely overplayed, being mostly a comic relief.
