Okay, Let's Talk About Josee, the Tiger and the Fish on DVD
So, I finally caved. I bought the DVD. Don't judge me! Streaming services are great, until they aren't.
Anyone else feel like they're constantly chasing their favorite movies around the internet? One minute it's on, the next, POOF. Gone. Like a digital ninja.
The Unboxing: A Moment of Pure Bliss (Almost)
Remember unboxing things? It's a lost art. Ripping off the plastic wrap. The SMELL of a brand new disc. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating slightly.
But seriously, holding that Josee DVD felt… good. Like reclaiming a small piece of control in this chaotic world. Plus, no buffering!
The "Extras" That Aren't Really Extra
DVDs always promise "special features." What you actually get are deleted scenes and trailers. Groundbreaking, I know.
Still, I found myself watching the behind-the-scenes stuff. Hearing the voice actors talk about Josee's characters? Kind of fascinating.
Did I learn anything earth-shattering? Nope. Was I mildly entertained? Absolutely.
My Unpopular Opinion: The DVD is Better Than Streaming
Here's where I might lose some of you. I think watching Josee, the Tiger and the Fish on DVD is a superior experience.
Hear me out! No wifi issues. No annoying ads every ten minutes. Just pure, uninterrupted anime goodness.
And let’s not forget the resolution. Sometimes streaming can look… fuzzy. The DVD is crisp and clear. It’s like seeing Josee in a whole new light.
Plus, You Actually *Own* It
This is the big one. In a world of digital rentals, owning a physical copy feels… substantial. Like building a little fortress of favorite stories.
Streaming services can take away content whenever they want. But my Josee DVD? That's mine. Forever (or until it gets scratched beyond recognition).
It’s also lending potential! Sharing with a friend who doesn’t have all the subscriptions? Gold.
The Case for Physical Media in a Digital World
Okay, maybe I'm being a bit dramatic. Streaming is convenient. I get it.
But there's something special about owning a physical copy of something you love. It’s like a little time capsule.
Plus, it’s nice to have a backup. What if the internet goes down? Disaster averted! You can still watch Josee. You're a hero.
The Verdict: Worth the Investment?
For me, absolutely. Owning the Josee, the Tiger and the Fish DVD brings me joy.
Maybe it's nostalgia. Maybe it's the control. Or maybe, just maybe, it's the fact that I can watch it whenever I want without buffering.
So go ahead, judge me for embracing physical media. I'll be over here, enjoying my Josee DVD in glorious, ad-free peace. Maybe I'll even watch the director's commentary... again.
Hey, at least I know where the disc is and can rewatch this beautiful movie. Now where's the remote?
