Episdoe 210 - Soul Train (Night on the Galactic Railroad)
On this episode, join Dennis, Garrett, Ed, Kate, & Karen for a discussion about Night on the Galactic Railroad. Two cat friends go on a journey through the stars and heavens with various passengers. Multiple Christian themes including crosses, hymns, a Sermon on the Mount homage, and dealing with the afterlife. But there's also the fantastical visuals with mysterious train stations, fields that go beyond the horizon, birds that become cookies, and a surprise appearance from The Titanic. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:10:02 - The Watchlist 0:27:19 - Production Notes 0:44:07 - Festival of Stars 1:12:36 - Constellation Stations 1:39:10 - Friends to the End 2:16:05 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai Unfortunately, Night on the Galactic Railroad is currently out of print, but you can still support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below.

Episode 209 - El Ponyo Loco (Ponyo)
It's our ninth anniversary! And on this episode, join Dennis, Ed, Garrett, Karen, & Kate as we return to the world of Studio Ghibli with Ponyo. It's a literal fish out of water story, with the most cutesy imagery for an apocalypse, and perhaps the coolest Ghibli mom. So put those elixers away, because that's what crabs crave. And hit up that deli counter, because Ponyo wants all of the ham. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:12:06 - The Watchlist 0:37:50 - Production Notes 0:50:46 - Ponyo the Goldfish 1:19:50 - Ponyo the Human 1:52:03 - Sousuke's Trial 2:20:02 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai Support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below or by purchasing Ponyo on Blu-ray through our Amazon affiliate link: https://amzn.to/441Bh6a Dennis: @ichnob | Ed: @ippennokuinashi | Garrett: @blkriku | Karen: @ryacosplay | Kate: @taikochan Linktr.ee | Ko-Fi | RSS

A group of friends, a disc of anime, a bottle of wine...better make it two. We're an anime podcast taking a look back at some older anime titles on physical media, and seeing if they still hold up or not. Sometimes time lets us appreciate overlooked titles, while other instances require us to remove those rose-tinted glasses. So grab a glass of wine and have a listen.
