FAP-303 The Boy and the Heron - Time Travel Included

This week, we explore another Ghibli movie! It is filled with the magical elements we've come to love from Ghibli. However, it does carry a heavier tone in some spots. So if Spirited Away wasn�t your cup of tea, this one might not be either, as it shares a similar vibe, but if you like it then you may just like this one was well and it is also perfect for introducing anime newcomers to this fascinating genre.


Next Up: The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World


If you’ve watched The Boy and the Heron or any of the past picks, even if you just barely survived one of them, we wanna hear about it. Rants, hot takes, cursed recommendations, bring it on! If there’s something you’ve been meaning to throw at us, something wild or weird or just your personal favorite, toss it our way.
