The Aftermath

Here is another of Studio Ghibli's heartbreaking masterpieces about chasing your dreams, building beautiful planes, and emotionally wrecking your audience. Is it a love story? A war story? An existential crisis with really good animation? Yes. All of the above. We cry, we dream, we build planes, and question whether following your passion is worth it if it ends in emotional devastation and highly aesthetic aircraft. Spoiler: It is. Kind of. Maybe?Our Links:Ian WolffeSend us a text
