Search engines don’t ‘deliver’ a website, generally, they just link to it and AskWoody’s servers deliver it, regardless of where you came from, be it a search engine or a Bookmark.

However, when you click a link to go from one website to another, the URL you came from (called a referrer) is passed to the second website so they can see where you came from. You can view this in Firefox by right-clicking on the page and clicking ‘View Page Info’. It is listed as the ‘Referring URL’. If you visit a website by typing the url or via a Bookmark, there will not be a referrer.

The Dragon Prince

My other half has been trying to get me to watch this, so I definitely am going to, but I’m probably going to wait until the show concludes. I even held out for the conclusion of Game of Thrones before binging it, so I have patience!

“Children that Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below” and “The Garden of Words”

I’ve not seen the former, but I’ve seen The Garden of Words and enjoyed it. It’s very reflective and slow paced and I like that style. “The Great Passage” on Amazon is quite a similar vibe, if you’ve ever seen that?

Satoshi Kon

I’m ashamed to say that I’ve never seen any of his works. They’ve just never been available in the UK as far as I’m aware, and the DVDs are even hard to come by, at least they were a few years ago anyway.

The Flower We Saw That Day

There is a 2015 movie too

There is, although it’s more of a recap as I recall. My message to anyone planning to watch it is definitely to watch the series first, and not to worry if you don’t have access to the film, as it isn’t required.

MODS: I came back to add another suggestion and realised I wasn’t logged in. Please feel free to delete the above anonymous post.

I hope that you don’t mind me making a few suggestions?

Creature Comforts

This is another Aardman show and is free on Youtube, at least in the UK. It features interviews with members of the British public set to the animation of various animals. I genius idea, and good for all ages.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

A 61 episode animation available in the US and UK both on Netflix and Amazon. A really thrilling adventure show from the 00s featuring a cast of brilliant characters in an alternate unverse where people can bend the elements to their will.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

A 64 episode animation available in the US and UK on Netflix. Similar to Avatar, but darker. Some really great characters though. I wouldn’t show it to a 10 year old, however, as there are some dark parts. I recommend the subtitled version, but the dub is acceptable. Just make sure that you watch ‘Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood’ and not ‘Fullmetal Alchemist’, which was a short-lived, incomplete and inferior attempt to animate the manga it’s based on 6 years prior.

Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day

If you don’t mind subtitles, this is an 11 episode anime available in the US and UK on Netflix. A sad but beautiful exploration of loss among a group of childhood friends. That sounds very morbid, and it’s certainly a work specifically for adults, but it really is quite brilliant. I am not embarassed to say that it made me cry! If you enjoy this, feel free to post asking for more anime suggestions.

Other great western movies inclide:

• Up (Pixar)
• WALL-E (Pixar)
• Coco (Pixar)
• Paddington & Paddington 2
• The Lego Movie

Other great Japanese movies include:

• Your Name
• A Silent Voice
• And of course, almost anything made by Studio Ghibli, which you mentioned in your last post but it can’t be said enough!
