The Anime Nostalgia Podcast ep 05

 



Did you know that Hayao Miyazaki worked on part of the
original Lupin the Third anime? Or that the animation team
that would become Studio Ghibli helped animate some American films,
like 1977's The Hobbit? In this episode, join me and
longtime friend Nitro as we talk about Miyazaki's works before and
after Studio Ghibli, Ghibli films that came out before 2002, as
well as Ghibli's ties to things like Yoko Kano and video games! (I
do apologize--the audio in this episode has some cracking &
popping in places for some reason. I'm not sure if it was from
something that happened while I was recording, but I couldn't get
rid of all of it when I edited it. I'll make sure to be extra
careful next episode!)
