*minor*My thoughts:
- Laika has to be one of the most underrated production teams alive today.
- I thought this movie was directed by the same guy who did Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline. I was honestly mistaken, but Travis Knight did a fantastic job.
- This is as pure a love letter to Japanese culture as any American can write. There's no stereotypes and all the characters, places, and environments feel right out of a Japanese epic.
- This was something of a departure for characters like Kubo. It seems that, normally, this kid would be an outcast, pushed around by other villagers and looked down upon. But in a charming trope break, all the villagers actually like Kubo, even the people who could plausibly resent his magic and charisma. It makes one feel very fond of the hero and adds to the overall tragedy as he takes care of his mother.
- Yeah, it's almost all white people with vocal roles. My response to this is: who cares? It's a puppet show. If this were live action, the critics may have a point (like they did with, say, The Last Airbender, but then nothing about that movie was decent) but with a movie like this, where all the characters are Asian and are--in the main--portrayed positively, it sounds more like they're whining that a relative didn't get a job. One of the great controversies today is whether these animated movies really need big name stars to provide voices, but as long as the practice holds we just have to deal with it.
- Somebody needs to win an award for this.

Meet ~Yokoboo (https://www.deviantart.com/yokoboo)
She's a dang good artist who has deigned to brighten our lives with a number of fine pieces.
Unfortunately, she also has a problem, for which she is endeavoring to raise money. A bunch of money.
In order to get said money, she has opened herself up for commissions the way a python opens its mouth for a water buffalo. So if you'd like some nice simple-but-elegant art and you're looking to do some good without leaving your comfy house, check this out:

Free Fanfic Ideas 1: Israeli President Magneto
Every now and then I get an idea for fanfics and stories that I love but I'm not sure when (or if) I can execute. So I'm going to shoot them out there and if anybody here wants to take a shot at it, God bless. Please just let me know where I can find it.
First Idea: Magneto becomes President of Israel
Under Israel's Law of Return, Erik Langsher (Magneto) is entitled to residency and full citizenship in Israel. However, the Jews of Israel are as human as anybody else and he's never felt inclined to take up this offer.
That all changes when Mossad finds his latest sanctuary, and an Israeli official--"Bibi"--arrives to make the mutant leader
