7. Interesting, potentially positive and worrying at the same time. I know of a couple of people who have made the move, one for work, one because of govt policies. "We also saw a fall in the number of people leaving Scotland" that seems like a positive trend, hopefully it's because there were more reasons to stay rather than it looking too miserable to go.

Cells at Work was one of the best anime in recent years, and I'm excited about this live-action remake. In the anime, we never see what is going on outside of the body, so while the movie certainly seems to follow some of the plot of the anime, it's also different.
