¿Y si te dijera que tu casa no está sucia, sino "muerta"?

Japan is often described as having “spirituality without religion”, but what does that actually mean? In this episode, author Hiroko Yoda joins the Krewe to break down how spirituality quietly shapes everyday life in Japan, from nature and kami to shrines, folklore, and even anime. With personal stories and insights from her new book, Eight Million Ways to Happiness, this conversation offers a fresh look at happiness rooted in connection, not belief.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

Ho Ho Ho, Alex here! (a real human writing these words, this needs to be said in 2025) Merry Christmas (to those who celebrate) and welcome to the very special yearly ThursdAI recap! This was an intense year in the world of AI, and after 51 weekly episodes (this is episode 52!) we have the ultimate record of all the major and most important AI releases of this year! So instead of bringing you a weekly update (it's been a slow week so far, most AI labs are taking a well deserved break, the Cchinese AI labs haven't yet surprised anyone), I'm dropping a comprehensive yearly AI review! Quarter by quarter, month by month, both in written form and as a pod/video! Why do this? Who even needs this? Isn't most of it obsolete? I have asked myself this exact question while prepping for the show (it was quite a lot of prep, even with Opus's help). I eventually landed on, hey, if nothing else, this will serve as a record of the insane week of AI progress we all witnessed. Can you imagine that the term Vibe Coding is less than 1 year old? That Claude Code was released at the start of THIS year? We get hedonicly adapt to new AI goodies so quick, and I figured this will serve as a point in time check, we can get back to and feel the acceleration! With that, let's dive in - P.S. the content below is mostly authored by my co-author for this, Opus 4.5 high, which at the end of 2025 I find the best creative writer with the best long context coherence that can imitate my voice and tone (hey, I'm also on a break!

Spirited Away: Episode 376 - This week on Normies Like Us, we finally step through the tunnel and into the bathhouse as we cover Hayao Miyazaki's beloved animated masterpiece, Spirited Away. For many, it's a childhood classic; for others, it's their first trip into the wonderfully strange world of Studio Ghibli. Either way, we're watching it with fresh eyes and very normal expectations. Grab your herbal tokens, don't forget your real name, and join us as Normies Like Us gets swept away.

Al pòdcast d’aquesta setmana comentem una de les notícies més esperades pels fans de l’anime en català: Netflix incorpora l’àudio del doblatge català de 7 pel·lícules de Studio Ghibli, gràcies al conveni entre la Generalitat de Catalunya i el 3Cat. Una notícia que hauria de reforçar la presència del nostre sector en plataformes globals i que pot marcar un abans i un després per a títols vinculats a al 3Cat. A la càpsula del temps, redescobrim l’obra i la influència de Riyoko Ikeda, autora de clàssics com La Rosa de Versalles i figura essencial del shojo. Parlem de la seva trajectòria, del seu impacte cultural i de com ha marcat generacions d’autores i lectores. Amb la Sheila (Deidree, de Pro Shōjo Spain) I a la Doraxarxa, tractem la polèmica de la setmana: l’Ajuntament de Barcelona es declara “orgullós” d’una beca pública en castellà mentre el català retrocedeix. Debatem les paraules del regidor Xavier Marcé i el xoc amb la realitat cultural del país.

In 2010, Ni no Kuni: Dominion of the Dark Djinn introduced players to a world where Studio Ghibli's hand-drawn warmth met Level-5's heartfelt RPG design. In this episode, we explore how a studio famously cautious about video games found unexpected harmony with a developer that valued emotion as much as mechanics. We follow the project from its DS origins and physical spellbook to the deeper PS3 reimagining that blended animation, music, and storytelling into something that felt unmistakably Ghibli. Our conversation also traces the series' evolving identity through Revenant Kingdom and Cross Worlds, and how its themes of grief, courage, and kindness shaped its legacy. Join us as we journey through magic, loss, and wonder in Ni no Kuni on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

News 6:43: The two hosts then get into Netflix entering an agreement to purchase Warner Bros, HBO & HBO Max. The good news is the planned deal would take until Q3 2026 to actually close. That’s only good because both hosts (Justin especially) are not even sure how big the ramifications of this deal will be, who or what it’ll affect (aside from the consumer, who no matter what will lose), and what this will mean for the Entertainment industry at large. …Of course, not even a day after the two talked about this, a hostile bid from Paramount was announced, which means the hosts will try and talk about that next episode! 15:08: Justin and Helen attempt to figure out what Amazon was actually thinking when they chose to AI dub a couple of anime, to much derision, and then pull it off their service. It does get the hosts to think a bit darker, and why despite this being over, it’s not actually over when it comes to AI dubbing. 27:34: Yuki Ikeda’s Thunder 3 is slated to resume serialization February 6, which suggests Ikeda is healthy enough to resume the manga; Terraformars is also slated to resume next week, after it did see an initial delay during the summer and fall. 28:53: Shinsuke Takahashi’s family shared details of what has happened to the artist a few weeks ago, and the details are not very good. The hosts can only hope for the best for Takahashi moving forward. Licenses 34:04: Following them taking off for Thanksgiving, Seven Seas resumed their Wonderful Wednesdays event and announced they’ve licensed the following: HEKIRU HIKAWA's Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fight in the Next Life AKI YUKURA's Crow Hill: Don’t Be Shy!! – The Complete BL Manga Collection IKUHITO & OHANACHAN's Record of Lustful Warriors: The Rod Master's Unstoppable Conquest in Another World (Ghost Ship) Tsuki Aimi's Lazy Girl Momogusa Coolkyousinnjya & Cometubu's Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Ilulu Doesn't Understand Love Mitsu Hashimoto's The Prince’s Body Pillow 35:19: Dark Horse announced exclusively on ANN that they'll release a three-book Deluxe Edition manga series of the following Masamune Shirow works: Appleseed Deluxe Edition (The Deluxe Edition hardcover includes books one to four of the series and has 848 pages, slated for August 2026) Appleseed Companion Deluxe Edition Shirow Masamune Anthology Deluxe Edition 36:49: Noir Caesar is partnering with TOKYOPOP to release Mitsuhiro Mizuno and artist Ryōsuke Tobimatsu’s Deep3 basketball manga in 2026; Hiroyuki’s Girlfriend, Girlfriend manga is now part of the Kodansha Print Club line, and it’s available on select retailers…today! Streaming News 40:08: 4K Kiki’s Delivery Service? 4K Kiki’s Delivery Service!!!…Well, at least Justin thinks so. With GKIDS partnering with IMAX to bring 4K restorations of Studio Ghibli films to North American theaters in 2026, then that means Kiki in 4K should happen! (maybe just not next year, but we’ll have to see the rate of releases though); GKIDS will be bringing the latest Lupin the 3rd film to North America in January; and The 100 Meters film will be on Netflix before the year’s ends, which makes one host happy and one host less interested! 44:54: We’re getting another anime (for Netflix) just announced out of nowhere for the Winter season, and it pairs Boys Over Flowers creator Yoko Kamio with the Wit Studio crew; Chainsaw Man fans who wanted to watch the Reze Arc film but was not willing or able to go a theater to see it can now purchase it digitally…today; And we have a couple anime that will be streaming on Crunchyroll, either for the Winter season (Tamon’s B-Side) or sometime in 2026 (The Drops of God) 47:15: Ever heard of Whale Smart TVs? Well now Crunchyroll is on the service; Ever heard of VIZIO’s WatchFree+? Well now you can get REMOW’s Its Anime service on that app! Weird News 49:56: Weird fish discovery and Super Saiyan in one sentence? We can only thank the The University of the Ryukyus for discovering the goby fish and making the connection to a Saiyan. 51:47: Both Justin and Helen are curious about Korean webtoon and web novel platform RIDI suspending sales of BL novel Crazy Dog Hunts the Tiger only a day after its release a few weeks ago, following accusations it closely mirrors very notable pro gamer Faker. This somehow gets Helen to cook up an absolutely insane scenario (56:22) in this section. 57:51: The combination of Silent Möbius and The Avengers would be less weird decades ago, but in 2025? Both hosts have…questions…even if there is some curiosity about it! 1:00:08: And finally, just what Hideaki Anno needed…a figure of himself as Ultraman!

No episódio da semana, nbcast decidiu fazer um top 10 diferente ao invés de fazer o comum e rankear os estúdios de animes fizemos diferente e mergulhou no universo dos estúdios de animação brasileiros. Em vez de falar de anime, abrimos o coração para os desenhos nacionais que moldaram a infância de muita gente. Cada participante trouxe seus favoritos e revisitou produções de vários estúdios, comparando estilos, ideias malucas e aquela personalidade única que só a animação brasileira tem. Passamos por gigantes como o Copa Studio, com Irmão do Jorel, Tromba Trem, Historietas Assombradas e Acorda Carlo. Relembramos o caos criativo da Video Brinquedo o Studio Ghibli nacional e acabamos descobrindo que a dona dele também é responsável pelo clássicos do 44 Toons, com Nilba e os Desastronautas, Osmar a Primeira Fatia do Pão de Forma, BugiGangue no Espaço e A Lasanha Assassina. Também falamos da Birdo Studio, que entregou Oswaldo, Cupcake & Dino e Ninjin, e da TV Pinguim com Peixonauta e O Show da Luna. E claro, não tinha como deixar de fora a Mauricio de Sousa Produções, responsável pela Turma da Mônica, Monica Toy e tantas outras obras que moldaram gerações, além de muitos outros estúdios e desenhos! Se você gosta de animação nacional, cultura pop e debates que descambam para o absurdo, esse episódio é para você.

Sam Nazionale @pranzoakonoha, Silvia Casini"Itadakimasu"Spazio Varesina, Milanofino al 6 aprile 2026http://www.vertigosyndrome.ithttp://www.spaziovaresina204.itDopo il grande successo di Genova, ITADAKIMASU, la mostra immersiva che trasforma i piatti iconici dell'animazione giapponese in esperienze reali, approda a Milano, allo Spazio Varesina 204, fino al 6 aprile 2026. Con un allestimento completamente rinnovato, la mostra conduce il pubblico in un viaggio sensoriale che intreccia immaginazione e tradizione culinaria del Sol Levante, trasformando il cibo dei cartoni animati in un'esperienza da vivere… Ideata e prodotta da Vertigo Syndrome e curata dal food influencer @pranzoakonoha (Sam Nazionale) insieme alla scrittrice Silvia Casini, l'esposizione ha il patrocinio del Municipio 8 di Milano, del Consolato Generale del Giappone a Milano, di AIRG – Associazione Italiana Ristoratori Giapponesi, e invita il pubblico a scoprire come, negli anime, il cibo diventi linguaggio che racconta emozioni, legami e condivisione.  ANIME, CIBO E TRADIZIONE GIAPPONESENel mondo vivo della cucina giapponese Itadakimasu si sviluppa attraverso 9 sale scenografiche, con 16 video-ricette originali, 38 sculture realizzate con la tecnica giapponese dello shokuhin sampuru, 14 stampe ukiyo-e, 22 poster relativi allo Studio Ghibli, 37 poster, 4 cartonati di anime giapponesi e le illustrazioni di Loputyn e Blackbanshee, oltre a contenuti interattivi e a un ricco bookshop tematico.Questa varietà di elementi non è semplice decorazione: ciascun dettaglio trasporta i visitatori nel mondo vivo della cucina giapponese degli anime, immergendoli tra sapori, profumi e storie che hanno conquistato generazioni. Ogni dettaglio accompagna i visitatori dentro la cucina animata, tra sapori, profumi e storie capaci di attraversare generazioni. In Giappone il cibo è un racconto che custodisce memoria e condivisione: un ramen fumante, un onigiri avvolto nell'alga o un bentō colorato riescono a emozionare quanto a far venire l'acquolina in bocca. Itadakimasu è molto più di una mostra.  E' un viaggio sensoriale nel cuore di una delle tradizioni culinarie più raffinate del mondo. Attraverso il linguaggio dell'animazione, con scene tratte da opere dello Studio Ghibli, di Mamoru Hosoda e Makoto Shinkai, ogni piatto animato diventa esperienza da vivere con tutti i sensi. A tutti i visitatori verrà regalato all'ingresso un piccolo ricettario creato appositamente da Sam per questa mostra.  IL PERCORSO ESPOSITIVOLe nove sale raccontate Il Santuario di InariUn inizio sacro e suggestivoAll'ingresso della mostra, i visitatori si troveranno di fronte a Inari, il kami, ovvero la divinità giapponese del raccolto, dell'agricoltura, della fertilità e della prosperità. Qui sarà possibile fare un'offerta simbolica, scegliendo tra una varietà di doni preziosi per il kami. Accanto a Inari, le eleganti volpi – messaggere divine che popolano la cultura nipponica – accompagneranno i visitatori nell'esplorazione del percorso. L'esperienza in sala guiderà il pubblico attraverso la storia della cucina giapponese, illustrando la differenza tra washoku, l'arte culinaria tradizionale, e yōshoku, i piatti occidentali adattati ai gusti giapponesi a partire dall'Epoca Meiji.Gli offerenti saranno chiamati a rievocare un momento di offerta rituale, non solo un ringraziamento ma un'espressione di gratitudine e riconoscenza verso il cibo e la sua linfa vitale. Adesso, il viaggio all'interno della mostra può iniziare! HanamiLa magia della fioritura dei ciliegiNon poteva mancare una sala esperienziale dedicata a uno dei momenti più importanti nella tradizione giapponese: la fioritura dei ciliegi sakura in primavera.Un'esperienza carica di valenze culturali e simboliche, dove si celebra l'armonia della natura e si rende omaggio alla vita e alla memoria di chi ci ha preceduto: un invito a riflettere sulla vita e sulla sua caducità.Attraverso giochi di luci e ombre, i visitatori possono godere di un pic-nic sotto gli alberi, proprio come fanno i giapponesi tra marzo e aprile, oppure contemplare lo sbocciare dei fiori nella loro forma più pura, da soli o in compagnia. Questo ambiente esperienziale chiude il percorso della mostra, invitando tutti a immergersi nella bellezza e nella spiritualità della natura giapponese. La sala dei bentōCome iniziare la giornata in Giappone Ogni mattina, in Giappone, mamme, studenti e lavoratori si alzano presto per preparare il bentō, il tradizionale porta pranzo giapponese. Non si tratta solo di un pasto, ma di un piccolo rito quotidiano: ogni ingrediente viene scelto con cura e disposto in maniera estetica e funzionale, dal riso alle polpette, dal tamagoyaki ai fritti di carne o pesce. La mostra ricostruisce una cucina tipica giapponese, dal gusto retrò, mostrando le diverse varianti del bentō: quelli per bambini, decorati con forme di animali o creature kawaii, e quelli ispirati ai grandi film d'animazione, come Il mio vicino Totoro di Hayao Miyazaki o Suzume di Makoto Shinkai. Grazie a tutorial pratici, i visitatori possono scoprire come realizzare le celebri polpette di riso onigiri, i “tako-wurstel” a forma di polpo e le Bunny Apples, mele intagliate a forma di coniglio.E non mancano i trucchi delle mamme giapponesi per trasformare anche una semplice omelette in un piccolo capolavoro visivo e gustativo. La Sala RāmenTra gusto e tradizione Pur avendo origini cinesi, il rāmen è oggi uno dei piatti più rappresentativi della cultura giapponese contemporanea e il primo ad aver conquistato l'Occidente grazie agli anime, in particolare Naruto di Masashi Kishimoto. La sala ricrea un rāmen bar ispirato ai locali tradizionali giapponesi, con una lunga schiera di postazioni in legno individuali che separano i clienti, permettendo  di gustare la pietanza in una piccola dimensione intima ma accogliente. L'esposizione racconta anche la ricchezza del mondo del rāmen, con oltre duecento varianti ufficialmente codificate in Giappone, nate da quattro tipologie principali e arricchite dall'influenza delle cucine regionali e stagionali dell'arcipelago. Il Banchetto dei KamiIl cibo come rito e simbolo Ispirata a La città incantata di Hayao Miyazaki, questa sala rende omaggio al legame profondo tra cibo, cultura e spiritualità giapponese. Al centro, il tavolo del banchetto offre una straordinaria varietà di piatti tradizionali, ciascuno scelto non solo per la bellezza visiva, ma anche per il significato simbolico che porta con sé. Ogni pietanza rappresenta un frammento della cultura nipponica, unendo estetica e tradizione in un'esperienza che parla tanto al corpo quanto allo spirito. Le riproduzioni dei piatti, realizzate con la tecnica giapponese dello shokuhin sampuru, permettono di osservare da vicino colori, forme e dettagli che rendono ogni portata un piccolo capolavoro.Questa sala permette ai visitatori di immergersi nel mondo degli anime e della cucina giapponese, scoprendo come il cibo possa diventare un ponte tra storia, leggende e legami culturali, celebrando la ricchezza del patrimonio culinario del Sol Levante. L'estate giappnese e i grandi MatsuriColori, sapori e tradizioni Non sarebbe il Giappone senza le grandi feste estive, che trasformano le città in esplosioni di colori, suoni e profumi. La sala dedicata a Tanabata permette ai visitatori di immergersi in questa atmosfera unica, ricreando le tipiche bancarelle di street food con tutte le prelibatezze che rendono questi festival indimenticabili: takoyaki, polpette di polpo simbolo di Osaka, korokke, crocchette di patate e carne, granite kakigori dai colori vivaci, taiyaki e i temarizushi tipici della festa. I tanzaku (piccole strisce di carta washi colorata a cui i giapponesi affidano i loro desideri) e le decorazioni tradizionali completano l'allestimento.Gli stessi visitatori potranno scrivere un Tanzaku con il proprio desiderio e appenderlo al bambù per Orihime, la Principessa Tessitrice protagonista della magica notte di Tanabata. Il CafèDolcezze, bevande e atmosfere kawaii Chiunque visiti il Giappone resta subito colpito dalla creatività e dalla varietà dei suoi café, locali curatissimi e spesso tematici, dove è possibile gustare bevande coloratissime, dolci, soft drinks e talvolta anche piatti caldi.La sala ricrea l'esperienza di un autentico café giapponese, ispirato a locali iconici come i Maid Cafè, Butler Cafè e Neko Cafè, ma anche a spazi dedicati a colori, animali o eventi temporanei. Icone dell'animazione come Sailor Moon e Creamy trovano qui il loro ambiente naturale: riproduzioni in tecnica shokuhin sampuru, gadget originali e contenuti video interattivi permettono ai visitatori di immergersi completamente nella cultura del cafè giapponese, tra dolcezza, estetica e divertimento. Il Natale giapponeseTradizione occidentale e gusto locale La sala dedicata al Natale mostra come le festività occidentali siano state reinterpretate in Giappone, con colori, oggetti e allestimenti tipici. Anche negli anime, il Natale diventa momento di condivisione e scoperta culinaria: i personaggi consumano i peculiari piatti pop associati alla festa, mostrando quanto ilcibo sia centrale anche quando non è strettamente “tradizionale”. Qui i visitatori scoprono due piatti simbolo della stagione: il Kentucky Fried Chicken, reso popolare in Giappone da una celebre campagna pubblicitaria negli anni '70, e la ChDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

La guerre de l'information est-elle déclarée ? Tout est parti de cette phrase prononcée dans les Vosges vendredi dernier par Emmanuel MACRON, qui explique pourquoi il est favorable à un label pour combattre la désinformation… Cinq jours plus tard, ce fameux label est donc installé au coeur d'une bataille politique et culturelle, entre d'un côté un certain nombre de médias, notamment ceux du groupe Bolloré, qui dénoncent depuis plusieurs jours, une tentation autoritaire au plus haut sommet de l'Etat ; et de l'autre l'Elysée, qui a décidé pour la première fois de riposter en dénonçant des fake news véhiculées par ces mêmes médias… Alors cette labellisation de l'information est-elle vitale pour la démocratie ou au contraire liberticide ? Nous allons en débattre ce mardi 2 décembre 2025 avec nos invités : - Eugénie BASTIÉ Essayiste, journaliste au Figaro, chroniqueuse sur CNews et Europe 1- Alexis LÉVRIER Historien de la presse et des médias, maître de conférences à l'université de Reims, auteur de « Jupiter et Mercure Le pouvoir présidentiel face à la presse » aux éditions Les Petits Matins (06.05.21)- Pierre HASKI Journaliste, chroniqueur Géopolitique sur France Inter, président du conseil d'administration de Reporters sans frontières (RSF), parution « Studio Ghibli. 100 dessins pour la liberté de la presse » par RSF (02.11.25)- Pierre-Henri TAVOILLOT Philosophe, maître de conférence à l'université Sorbonne-Paris IV, président du Collège de philosophie, auteur de « Voulons-nous encore vivre ensemble ? Les défis de la convivialité » aux éditions Odile Jacob (06.11.2024)- Laurent JACOBELLI Député RN de Moselle, vice-président du groupe RN à l'Assemblée- Chloé MORIN Politologue, spécialiste de l'analyse de l'opinion et de la communication publique, écrivaine, autrice de « La Broyeuse » aux éditions de L'Observatoire (29.01.25) et "Désalignée" aux éditions de L'Observatoire (05.11.25)

We've had students on the podcast before, and we've had plenty of producers. But a student learning how to be a producer? This is a first for our last episode of 2025! I chat with David Seibert, who is studying production and directing in New York. We talk about his internships (and what he's doing in them), what he's learned so far on what producers do, and what projects he's been working on. In our "Back in Time" segment, we talk about how growing up outside of the US meant he had very different influences as far as cartoons and entertainment goes. We talk about Studio Ghibli films and how AI is trying to steal them. And we ended up have TWO segments of advice. One formal and a bonus one in the beginning.

We're back again in the whimsical world of Studio Ghibli. This time we get to see a young boy fall in love with a fish and witness every stage of her become human. His task is to love her through each stage, even the weird chicken/frog stage. To speak on the difficulty of this we invited Grimby on the show to share his experience.Our Links:Ian WolffeSend us a text

Today we cross the threshold into a buffet of magic in Spirited Away. We discuss the elements that make Studio Ghibli movies feel grander than just a film, the weaving of magic onto of our everday realities, and our favorite characters in the bath house of madness. This is a moving tale, but don't be fooled, it's definitely a Messed Up Movie.  Synopsis: During her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts.

Title: Changing of Leaves in Studio GhibliIn this episode of MC Anime, guest Leslie—a photographer, business owner, and devoted Studio Ghibli fan—joins us to examine how the studio captures the essence of autumn through its storytelling and visual artistry. From the vibrancy of fall's colors to the quiet reflection of change, Studio Ghibli masterfully uses the season as a metaphor for growth, transformation, and memory.The conversation begins with Howl's Moving Castle, where Leslie discusses how the shift from fall's brightness to muted tones parallels the film's emotional depth and evolving characters. The fading warmth of the landscape reflects the story's transition from wonder to introspection, illustrating how the season mirrors human experience.Leslie also shares insights on Spirited Away, highlighting how autumn's themes of change and renewal shape Chihiro's journey. The film's use of natural imagery captures the fleeting beauty of transformation, symbolizing both loss and personal discovery.The discussion expands to My Neighbor Totoro, which celebrates the cyclical nature of the seasons and underscores the importance of environmental harmony. Through its depiction of rural life and the protection of nature, the film reminds viewers of the enduring bond between people and the world around them.Finally, Only Yesterday serves as a reflective tribute to the fall harvest, connecting nostalgia, memory, and the passage of time. Its portrayal of autumnal life speaks to the universal rhythm of change and the beauty found in remembering where we come from.Together, these explorations reveal how Studio Ghibli transforms the changing of leaves into a poetic expression of nature's cycles and humanity's emotional landscapes.

Puntata a cura di UntimoteoFino a qualche anno fa, il nome di Isao Takahata risultava sconosciuto ai più, oscurato dal successo del suo più celebre amico Hayao Miyazaki. Eppure i due hanno tracciato il solco che, tra gli anni ‘60 e ‘70, ha trasformato l'industria dell'animazione giapponese in una fabbrica di sogni. Prima come maestro e allievo, poi come pari. Insieme fondano lo Studio Ghibli. E danno vita a un dualismo prodigioso in termini di qualità di scrittura e messa in scena: una vera e propria sfida tra titani. Oggi, grazie alla sovrabbondanza di contenuti e a piattaforme come Netflix, i film che Isao Takahata ha scritto e diretto per lo Studio Ghibli arrivano finalmente anche in Italia. Come lo straziante La tomba delle lucciole. Con un certo ritardo, anche il nostro Paese si appassiona a Isao Takahata: un genio, un ribelle, un regista scomodo, che con i suoi film punta il dito contro la progressiva disumanizzazione della società giapponese…“Animazione” è il format del podcast di Mondoserie dedicato alle diverse scuole ed espressioni del genere, dall'Oriente alla scena europea e americanaParte del progetto: https://www.mondoserie.it/  Iscriviti al podcast sulla tua piattaforma preferita o su: https://www.spreaker.com/show/mondoserie-podcast  Collegati a MONDOSERIE sui social:https://www.facebook.com/mondoserie https://www.instagram.com/mondoserie.it/   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwXpMjWOcPbFwdit0QJNnXQ  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mondoserie/

In this episode of arts24, we journey into the enchanting world of Isao Takahata, one of the founding fathers of Japanese animation and the creative force behind Studio Ghibli classics like "Grave of the Fireflies" and "Only Yesterday". From his early days in the 1960s to his final masterpiece, a new Paris retrospective traces Takahata's lifelong quest to capture humanity, emotion and the beauty of everyday life through animation.

Kambole Campbell (Empire Magazine, Vulture, Time Out) and Leslie Byron-Pitt (Fatal Attractions podcast) join Flixwatcher to review Kambole's choice The Boy and the Heron. The Boy and the Heron (2023) is the 12th Studio Ghibli animation written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The English dub version features the voices of Christian Bale as Shoichi Maki, Robert Pattinson as the Gray Heron, Florence Pugh as Kiriko, and Dave Bautista as the Parakeet King. The cast also includes Gemma Chan, Willem Dafoe, Karen Fukuhara, and Mark Hamill in other key roles. After losing his mother during the war, young Mahito moves to his family's estate in the countryside. There, a series of mysterious events lead him to a secluded and ancient tower, home to a mischievous gray heron. When Mahito's new stepmother disappears, he follows the gray heron into the tower, and enters a fantastic world shared by the living and the dead. As he embarks on an epic journey with the heron as his guide, Mahito must uncover the secrets of this world, and the truth about himself. Recommendability scores for The Boy and the Heron were mixed, the sprawling nature of the narrative and two hour run time were working against it to give an overall rating of 3.31.

Begint bij het begin, met de computer van Alan Turing. Film: Black Bag, de nieuwste film van Steven Soderbergh, die we onder meer kennen van de Ocean’s films en meer in dat heist-genre, zoals het ondergewaardeerde Logan Lucky. De nieuwste film voelt daaraan verwant, al draait het om spionnen. Een razendsnelle film van maar anderhalf uur met Michael Fassbender en Cate Blanchett als echtpaar spionnen. Die mogen elkaar niks vertellen want alles is beroepsgeheim, maar hoe vertrouw je elkaar dan? Door te spioneren, en dan ontdek je per ongeluk meer dan je mag weten. Deze film zit lekker vlot in elkaar en verspilt geen tijd met het uitleggen van dingen, heerlijk verfrissend. Te streamen op SkyShowtime.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
