| Glad to see Liz to Aoi Tori. |
| I have seen all four of Yamada's movies and I loved all of them. Top, top director in my book. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| They made a movie out of that show that got some shorts in the past? Damn. And it won? |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| I'm glad to see that Wakaokami won an award. I haven't gotten the chance to watch the movie yet but I'm looking forward to checking it out after seeing the TV series from a few months back |
