Send us a Question!MOVIE DISCUSSION: Kathryn joins Melvin to discuss one of the most pivotal anime-film releases to ever grace the silver-screen; Akira! This 1988 film not only pushed the genre of animation to its limits, it also introduced anime to the west as a serious new genre of entertainment! Does it still hold up? Spoilers: absolutely it does!Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 18-minutes discussing the ins-and-outs of the cyberpunk aesthetic, what makes it distinct from other sci-fi settings, and whether its our preference. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)The vibes are strong with Akira.The quality is strong with Akira.When Melvin first saw the film he liked it but wasn't impressed. This time around? He thinks its incredible.Although the characters aren't profoundly deep, they are a clever, complicated mix of different figures amidst a chaotic, epic story.Every 10 minutes something crazier than the last happens on screen.Kathryn wasn't totally wowed by Akira but she totally understands its titan-status in filmmaking.Discussing Building, Rebuilding, and Destruction.Talking about Kaneda.Discussing the line, "Time isn't clear, and there ought to be a future we can choose."Getting into that absolutely insane ending.Recommendations:The Thing From Another World (1951) (Anime)Steins;Gate (2011) (Anime) Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

Its music, its character, it's magic; Spirited Away continues to dominate the conversation among Ghibli and anime fans alike, and the two get into all the good stuff in their latest episode!Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 23-minutes of wondering if we're back on the MCU train with the success of Thunderbolts*, and also playing a rapid-fire MCU trivia game! (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)Shirleon, "I really don't think I can say anything bad about the movie."Melvin does a rundown of similarities he's observed between the 3 Miyazaki-directed movies they've covered on the show.Chihiro grows from someone who fears a lack of agency into someone empowered with determination.Spirited Away is a little different from other family-accessible movies in that its complicating incident isn't the fault of it's child-protagonist but rather their parents.The concept of "work" is constantly on the mind of the movie.Talking about the "weeping rice-cake" scene.If we spend time meditating on the blessings of our lives, we start to notice how supported and how resilient we are.Recommendations:Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (2006) (Anime)Durarara!!

PATREON MOVIE DISCUSSION: This movie was selected by our Patreon Supporters over at the Cinematic Doctrine Patreon. Support as little as $3 a month and have your voice heard! Ani-May is almost over, but there's still room for one more episode! Melanie and Melvin discuss A Silent Voice, the popular Kyoto Animation project from 2016 about an elementary school bully who seeks amends during High School. The catch? He incessantly bullied a deaf girl, and must overcome his shame before he can apologize. Topics:(FREE PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 54-minutes reflecting upon Princess Mononoke, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica while also discussing the recurrent themes of Ani-May: 'Self-Destruction by Evil Desire', 'Acceptance of Reality', and 'The Maturity of Growing' complete with biblical verses and theological discussion! (FREE PATREON EXCLUSIVE)Melanie was still processing A Silent Voice and verbalizes that something felt off, but she doesn't know what. The two explore what that may be.Melvin details what makes the original A Silent Voice One-Shot so great at exploring themes of bullying, shame, guilt, and the fear of reconciliation.Melvin then shares some thoughts on the Manga adaption, a seven-volume expansion on the original one-shot that goes in strange directions, never fully satisfying the promise of a complicated, mature teen romance.Melvin then discusses his thoughts on the movie which are wrapped in his thoughts on both the One-Shot and the Manga and how it may be one of the worst things he's ever seen.Accounting for cultural differences, Melanie, as a school teacher, was really upset with how the bullying was handled by the school staff to a fault.Melvin observes that Princess Mononoke, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica permit an open-ended exploration of their complicated, mature themes. A Silent Voice, however, hand-holds so aggressively it almost bruises the knuckles.Unlike the Manga and especially the One-Shot, the fact that Nishimiya has such little screentime is stupendously felt.Recommendations:Your Name.

PARTY PLEASER: Melanie and Melvin check out the long forgotten Hollywood live-action adaption of Dragonball! Topics: (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 41-minutes discussing what makes Anime/Manga live-action adaptions so difficult to adapt, what unique characteristics separate the mediums, and what Anime/Manga would make a good live-action adaption (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) What background do Melanie and Melvin have with the Dragonball franchise?The start of Dragonball Evolution is an info dump that immediately confounds the movie. Melvin cross examines the Dragonball Evolution canon against the actual Dragonball canon.Dragonball Evolution's general sense of setting and location is all over the place, and it never permits its audience a solid footing. Is it set on Earth? Is this a fantasy continent? What time period is it?There is one truly great thing that has come from Dragonball Evolution and it's a goofy edit someone made for YouTube. Here it is.Dragonball Evolution infrequently contains somewhat intriguing setting design choices, such as Master Roshi's house, but most of the time the movie is unpleasant to look at.Recommendations: Howl's Moving Castle (2004) (Anime)Aiura (2013) (Anime)Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!
