You are donig a marvelous job here! And I was so lucky to find you! Keep up and thank you so much for your hard work and vivid love! Really what were we do without you?!
Thank you for sharing how readers responded to your writings about Miyazaki. It's fascinating to me that the myth of Miyazaki continues to endure internationally. Just this week an anime industry personnel in Japan noted that while the strategy of not marketing his latest film is understandable, Miyazaki has been out of the limelight in his country for almost a decade. There are schoolchildren who have grown up not knowing who he is at all, so it's anyone's guess what the box office performance of the new film will be like.
Everything your newsletter has done throughout this year has blown my mind, especially given the small staff! I always appreciate the balance between covering niche, obscure animations and mainstream ones, both of which are more interconnected than meets the eye. I bet you guys will return with a bang after your well-earned break.
Congratulations on a jam-packed 2023 so far (hard to believe that it's already half over)! It's truly mind-boggling how much you've covered, and with the level of attention to detail and breadth of research that you somehow have managed *twice a week.* The brief break you're taking is well-deserved—I know you won't be just sipping mai-tais somewhere, but I hope you do take some time to truly take a breather so that you can return refreshed. Thank you so much, and see you in July.

Thank you for the shoutout, and enjoy the break!

You guys deserve a break! Hope to see you back in top form later in the year.
