In my search  I decided to focus on the topic of Nostalgia. I have focused my searches and sources on two distinct animations and animation studios: Cuphead and Studio Ghibli, and how they induce feelings of nostalgia. I found that the creators of Cuphead used traditional hand drawn techniques to animate their game, and stylised it in the aesthetics of 1930's cartoons, creating a sense of nostalgia for people in the modern day. On the other hand, with Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, I found that their style of animation has stayed quite consistent since their first debut, which induces feeling of nostalgia to old time fans of their content. I personally find Miyazaki's work very nostalgic.

In my research on 'Inclusive Storytelling', I decided to focus on how women are representing in media such as video games, animations and full feature films. I have tried to diversify my search and pick out some of my favourite female characters from media, such as Samus Aran. Instead of narrowing my search on this character, I decided to branch out to other characters, such as Ripley from Alien, and Usagi from Sailor Moon, two different characters entirely, yet both just as strong in their own right.
