I am watching Silver Spoon on VRV / Crunchyroll. If you decide to watch this episode, it may be a good idea to have some tissues on hand. I’m watching The Ancient Magus’ Bride on VRV / Crunchyroll. Why do the important parts of life get buried in the day to day affairs? How do we stay present, so we don’t miss the good stuff, the stuff that truly matters? If the ultimate goal of a happy life is to give love abundantly, and to be open to receiving it in return, why does it seem like a challenge in some ways and easy in others? And why is it sometimes difficult to show that love to ourselves? Not the materialistic status symbols many people chase after, but the authentic, and healthy, uplifting connection to oneself (and others). Hopefully those sides of ourselves can find peace and healing, as well as those we may’ve hurt (intentional or not). What makes life worthwhile? How does one build resilience and perseverance for the challenging times? Or the ability to overcome pain? I have regret, and pain I’ve inflicted upon others I wish I could take back. His final dream, which he shares with Chise and us, is beautiful, and a reminder of how wonderful the world can be.
Because we don’t get the hundreds of years Nevin does, it makes our human lives that much more precious. Chise’s vulnerability, and the inadvertent sharing of her pain, make Nevin’s words even more poignant. As a being who has lived hundreds of years, Nevin gives us guidance to reflect upon. We only know him a brief time, but the anime does a wonderful job of connecting us to him. While working on Mage matters with Elias, Chise meets a dragon named Nevin. As I’m only episode three, we haven’t learned much about her, but most of what we’ve seen has been painful. Before living with Elias, the Magus, Chise felt isolated, depressed, and unloved. What felt like a curse, is becoming a strength, as she’s now with people who support and nurture her abilities. He makes her his apprentice, and she learns about magic, and more about herself. Chise, through life circumstances, finds herself with Elias.
