This is the best I can do - sort of after the event.

I had a flashback re a point I made.
I am in my seventies, (you needed to know that to understand what I am saying). During my younger days, I was ridiculed for reading science fiction and I'd say at least 90% of the sf movies were stupid and badly made (we had cinemas that offered for the price of a ticket, a double-feature, plus a horrible cold drink. You could stay in the theatre all day if you wanted).
It was still rare to see a decent sf movie when Bladerunner came out. I had read the book and that provided me with some identification with what I was seeing. Movies always change the story it is based on, so where I would have noticed something is different, I would have ignored it. Anyway, I felt I was there to enjoy myself, not to be a film critic.
As quality (in books and movies) improved, so did I expect more from each of them, but even then, I could never critique a book or movie as you can, for I do not think in segments of logic, when I sit to write (as with this comment), it is as if I jump off a cliff with the first word I write and then let my fall take me wherever it does (rarely, I end up soaring, but, it is so rarely...)
The kind of Anime and manga I love is not what you would watch, mostly I fell in love with it when I saw my first Ghibli movies and some other sort of romantic sf stories. I guess they are not deep enough for the real fans, though how anyone can say Nausicaa is not deep I don't know.
That is all I can recall of what I had said.
ciao
