Beyond Ghibli

Studio Ghibli has a bit of a monopoly when it comes to anime in the west. This video series, Beyond Ghibli, takes a look at the best of the business outside of their bubble. In this video I take a look at the best directors in Japan, both living and dead, and my favourite films from their portfolios.

In this video I take a look at Redline, one of the best films of the last decade. It took seven years to complete and almost bankrupt the studio that made it.

Yōkai are Japanese creatures of folklore, and despite showing up everywhere in today’s anime, manga and videogames, they’re often mistranslated and misrepresented in Western localisations. In this video I explore the concept of Yōkai, and delve into a couple of spectacular films featuring them.

In this episode of Beyond Ghibli I take a look at Miss Hokusai, a truly special piece of cinema about Japan's most famous artist and the daughter that lived in his shadow. PATREON: http://Patreon.com/BeyondGhibli TWITTER: http://twitter.com/BeyondGhibli

Tales from Earthsea, known as Gedo Senki in Japan, was a polarizing fantasy film from Studio Ghibli, and debut feature of Goro Miyazaki - son to the most beloved animator of all time. In this video I take a look at how it came to be, why it was so divisive and exactly what is in the power of a name. Quick Note: Tales from Earthsea is based off a series of books known as the Earthsea Cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin - to avoid confusion between the two I refer to the film under it's Japanese name during the video. Also, there's mild spoilers during part two (the critique) of this video, so use the time jumps to skip ahead if you'd rather miss them.
