Oldtaku no Radio #027 – In This Corner of the World

In This Corner of the World

Adapting the original manga by Fumiyo Kouno, MAPPA’s In This
Corner of the World depicts the life and times of people in Kure
and Hiroshima during World War II. The show’s
protagonist – an easily-distracted, artistically-inclined,
young woman – marries into a family in a nearby city. The
audience watches her grow from child to young woman to
wife – all behind a transparent theater of war that
doesn’t so much raise or lower but focuses perspective
on a humanity often overlooked. Don’t blink; every
detail of this animated adaptation is the direct result of the
director’s absolutely immersive (one might argue
obsessive) research into this historical fiction’s places
and people. In This Corner of the World is currently
streaming on Netflix.
