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 ...
Before getting to your piece, I just wanted to pass along that when I taught a class on auteurism and animation in the works of Miyazaki Hayao last year, I had my students read your "Toshio's Movie Castle" article as a counterpoint to viewi ...
