The Curse of Growing Up

Immortality is pretty interesting, the idea of being able to live forever. But when you have all the time in the world, there's less of a need for you to grow up as a person. That same, however, can not be said for Phosphophyllite My honest review / video essay of the Houseki no Kuni / Land of the Lustrous post apocalyptic anime animated by studio Orange and written by Haruko Ichikawa Citation: https://www.vaneetha.com/journal/kint...    • EASTERN PHILOSOPHY - Kintsugi   Share your comments below, and like and subscribe for more videos Subscribe:    / @almostcheesecake   Discord:   / discord   Twitter:   / almostcheescake   Thumbnail Commissions: https://ko-fi.com/almostcheesecake Patreon:   / almostcheesecake   Tip Jar: https://streamelements.com/almostchee...

Each Gem is assigned a role in order to fight against the Lunarians, a species who attacks them in order to shatter their bodies and use them as decorations. Phosphophyllite, also known as Phos, is a young and fragile Gem who dreams of helping their friends in the war effort. Instead, they are told to compile an encyclopedia because of their delicate condition. After begrudgingly embarking on this task, Phos meets Cinnabar, an intelligent gem who has been relegated to patrolling the isolated island at night because of the corrosive poison their body creates. After seeing how unhappy Cinnabar is, Phos decides to find a role that both of the rejected Gems can enjoy. Houseki no Kuni follows Phos' efforts to be useful and protect their fellow Gems. #growingup #immortal #gems #housekinokuni #landofthelustrous
