I had to watch this amazing film while drawing this after so long, and moments like the health bar visual gag during Gin's beatdown, Hana's rant in the hospital, and Miyuki connecting with the Hispanic mother beyond the language barrier, are some that contributes to how great this movie is!
Deigo (from the Ice Age movies) dressed as an angel appears behind Mae Mae (eating an onigiri). Diegetic appearances of Beanie and Cheesecake can be seen in the background.

You must do what you need to do in order to view a pretty looking film in the best way.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was one of those "I watched half of this on my mom's laptop while we packed up to leave the hotel" kind of movie for me.
Beanie (with Clockmon on their lap) editing a video that features Laurel rowing a boat with many oars. The software they're using, MakotoKino references the protagonist of "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time", but also the video editing program "Kino".

The premise of Kaiba is definitely something I would've been all over a decade ago, and treating memories like transferring an SD card to another device is a horrifying concept.
Beanie (left) and Laurel (right), in Kaiba's artstyle, asking the family on the right "Guilty or Innocent" in the same manner as the Quintesson from the 1986 Transformers Movie.

The concept of Angelic Layer is a lot of fun, but now all I think of is Hatchimals for some reason.

You may know what I mean if you check out their episode!
