IN THIS EPISODE…

After Animind's last episode on Grave of the Fireflies and its live episode on Attack on Titan, the Animind crew needed some medicine for the mind. And where better to find it then a little anime gem called My Neighbor Totoro. Dani, Graham and Matthew talk the flagship film for Studio Ghibli as they pour over the inherent sweetness it offers up. The highest ideals of community, nature, and love are on display in this whimsical world created by the renowned Hayao Miyazaki.
