Since reading your proposal, I've been looking forward to seeing your full post and you did not disappoint, Amanda! So many of your points are a great compliment to the discussion George Crosthwait and I have had about Takahata's stylistically ...
A really necessary topic to include in the theme week, Ryan, and one I think you've expressed eloquently. Female protagonists like Kiki, Nausicaä, Taeko in Only Yesterday, and Anna in When Marnie Was There not only support your claims for Ghibli&# ...

Like Dr. Tussey, I have also not had a chance to watch Cloak & Dagger 's first season yet. I also had no idea the show had woven New Orleans culture and history so intricately into its narrative. Obviously, the production was brought to New Or ...
