@Hexephre this is such a cool shot
the country Kiki ends up residing in would probably be easiest to figure out if I actually took the time to write down any of the signs that are shown in town
although I think Europe has a lot of language overlap between country boundaries so maybe it wouldn't be easier
and then there's the tl;dr maybe it's just a mishmash of things that seem charming because it's a movie
black and white tiny screen TV's that (most) people seem to have is like, 40's or 50's right? the style of telephone seems to match that general era
but then the background people look like they're from the 80's (or Lilo & Stitch)
Kiki and her family (minus the pocket radio and her dad's car) seem to be living further in the past with no TV & phone (that's shown anyway)
and then there's the fucking dirigible
@goaty if I'm using spreeder (or another app that flashes text for speed reading) I end up using like 80pt 😅
@goaty somewhere between 12 and 16 pt? 🤔
I don't think it's worth mentioning in an online book review, but I'm so confused on why the illustrator used "angry" marks instead of a symbolic star for things that are sparkly?
is it really something only otakus know about??? does the "blood vein" angry symbol not exist outside of Japan??
are generic stars copyrighted???
why???
