ようこそ! Today on Baconsale we’re discussing anime! No, not the weird kind you’re thinking of right now, but rather the very accessible (yet still somewhat unusual) movies of Studio Ghibli—one of the most successful animation studios in the world. Our guest, Kris Anderson, challenged Joel and Kent to watch all 21 of their feature films, which they’ve done, and we’re ready to tier them and talk about Japanese folklore, Hayao Miyazaki, aviation, Totoro, fantasy stories and shape-shifting raccoons.
