Oldtaku no Radio #045 – Lu Over the Wall

Talk about a deep dive! This episode, Jared and Ink talk about
Science Saru‘s original animated movie, Masaaki Yuasa’s Lu Over
the Wall. This movie centers around a withdrawn Tokyo
transfer student who accidentally draws out like-minded,
music-making friends as well as a music-seeking mermaid –
the local legends about which both scare his fellow port town
residents and benefit the town’s tourist trade. The animation
draws on a surprising range of old-school sources while
flashing the Yuaasa style so familiar to Science
Saru fans. There’s a lot to explore, so jump in; the water’s
juuuust fine.
