100,000 hand drawn animations and seven years worth of production. This is the mermaid movie of the decade thus far. I think the calm left my voice a little at some points in this episode because this film thrilled me to bits!

It's high time we begin Volume 6. Though at a much slower pace. I've done some soul searching and am still doing so, but there's gonna be a mix of where The Home for Anime has gone before and where it started in this volume. The best way to display that is by covering Mexico's first ever stop-motion animated feature, Soy Frankelda! Listen to me get excited for what may be one of the greatest stop motion films I've ever seen, with a screening opportunity courtesy of Fantasia Fest. I hope you enjoy!

I think Ryan has a potential side hustle as a salesman. Man would make a killing.

This is it! Volume 5 is ending with one of the best series to grace the otaku landscape and change it forever. It's finally time to cover Urusei Yatsura!!

This honestly wasn't even supposed to happen. It was a pure accident but as soon as I finished the show, this had to be done. The 90s called, they said they wanted Cybersix back!!

A certified stinker? I think not! This week, we're going to discuss Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and how something abstract and overall extremely flawed, can still be an amazing piece of media.

We are finally back with the latter half of Volume 5! This week, I figured it'd be fun to talk about Humanity Has Declined. This can also be seen as either my descent into editing madness or my experimental phase. Either way, I hope you have a good time with it!

For thousands of years I have laid dormant. I have risen again (with the help of Crunchyroll and Ryan) to discuss the Production I.G. film The Concierge. Thanks to this film, Ryan and I also have an engaging discussion about the personal impact of shopping malls. Both conversations are good times and we hope you enjoy!

The Fantasia Film Festival offered a screener for an entry into the Monogatari series, so obviously I had to say yes.

GPC:

Seriously, try saying this anime's name five times. See what happens.

Oh how I've missed you, Fantasia Fest. It's time yet again for my favorite film festival and what I'm hoping to see this year! Also, apologies for the stilted delivery, I had the audacity to try and read these descriptions without my glasses on.

I got the chance to hang out with the true King of the Pirates and YouTube, Mel!! Hear her flex her One Piece expertise and hear me be in awe for over an hour!

Yes, this is the first half of an entire volume. After a break that will allow me to do a significant amount of research and analysis, I will return with the rest of Volume 5, aptly titled Volume 5.5. See you soon!

What's been going on? Just this stuff!

Drew and I have a joyful discussion about an absolutely gorgeous and deep manga from Nagabe. It's worth a read, just like how this episode is worth a listen!

I am once again joined by the funniest man in America, Robert, to talk about the biggest technicality The Home For Anime has ever covered. Frozen II actually got a manga adaptation, which we used as a springboard to not only talk about the manga, but the masterpiece of a film, as well. It's a good time, as always, and we hope you enjoy!

Drew and I are on the scene yet again to talk about an absolute head trip of a film, aptly given the tagline "this is your brain on anime."

Robert has joined me yet again for two essential reasons for our being: laughs and being otakus. This time, we're covering a personal favorite of mine, Masaaki Yuasa's funniest film to date, The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl. We talk about good company, youth, and, of course, marrying for love or financial security. As always, it's a great time, so we hope you enjoy!

In this episode, I get to chat with the ever talented Retro Deluxe about a series that's almost as problematic as it is fun. And it's really fun. Hear us talk about one of anime's 80s it girls and how much times have really changed after 40 years (shocking, I know). We hope you enjoy!

After much waiting, planning, considerations, failures, and breakthroughs, volume 5 (part one) is finally underway! To kick things off, Drew and I talk about Yokohama Shopping Log, life, waiting, and what waiting really means. Y'know? How it feels? How great it can really be. We're going in a lot of directions in this volume, so I hope you enjoy the ride!

An early episode, but an episode nonetheless. Frieren is the show that I can enjoy and the show also triggers hours-long rumination. I love this show for several reasons, but I also want to let you in on how it makes me think. I hope it's something that you can enjoy and relate to. Also, please follow outerxhaven! They're wonderful and make shows like this feel very real.
