Yeah, Mononoke Hime crushed the "animation is for kids" idea that was prevalent at that time in many western countries "thanks" to Disney's spam of recycled fairy tales.When my family was stationed in Japan because of my dad's military duties in 1997, Princess Mononoke was the first ever movie and anime that I ever watched when my family took me to see it at the movie theatres.
In hindsight, I don't think this was an appropriate movie to watch with your 4-year-old.

If you can't fight it, befriend it innit?I love how there's a magical gremlin-type character and Runa has realized she just has to accept it. And so Hotaru just exists and is magic like that.
Imagine a large part of your wealth being wiped out due to some technical error. Definitely not me.That NYSE thing sounds wild
Thanks for the correction! And yes, it is quite bittersweet especially when we saw where Runa is with her friends in the prologue.I find messages to future selves bittersweet, as they become a beautiful reminder of happier times and a bitter pill of reality changing for the worse.
The Indian rupee code is INR, not IDR, as SSSMktIntel was referring to (Narendra) Modi. IDR is for Indonesian rupiah.
Thanks for the chapter, @SiliconSignatureSwissChair.
Quite miraculous indeedThe most shocking thing that happened in this chapter was that they got Hotaru-chan caught on camera!
