Just a Heads-Up. YouTube is about to upscale ALL SD videos using A.I. Back up EVERYTHING you care about NOW. All those old videos you enjoyed? GONE. Permanently altered by a feature nobody asked for. Enjoy being gaslit for eternity as the VHS aesthetic evaporates overnight. Welcome to hell world.

My first anime review with @ukanime.bsky.social, and its about Gigguk's "Baan".

Baan
A visually stunning film that got hampered by its runtime and unusual pacing choice for an isekai anime. It's not "Manos: The Hands of Fate" bad, but it's not good either.
