Released in 2013, Ni No Kuni was always going to be a hit thanks to a collaboration with the world renowned animation house Studio Ghibli. Developer Level-5 went above and beyond, however, in bottling that Ghibli magic and making something truly special. In this video I look at the making of the game, its core ideals and just how the team captured the wonder of youth.

In This Corner of the World is a different kind of war movie. It isn't obsessed with the shadow of death, but in the light that preceded it. In today's episode I take a closer look at this beautiful movie, and the wonderful city that still lives in the long shadow of its horrific past.

30 years ago Akira debuted to a world that wasn't ready for it. Three decades later and it's still as important - and as fun - as it ever was. In this video I take a look at the creation of Akira, the legacy it left behind, and the madman responsible for it all: Katsuhiro Otomo.

Isao Takahata made a big name for himself with his adaptation of Johanna Spyri's Heidi, Girl of the Alps. In doing so he made Heidi the national treasure she is today, celebrated as much in Japan as she is in Switzerland, and she is as famous as the late, great director himself. But there's more to Heidi than meets the eye, and in this video I take a look at the glimpses we get into the man Takahata would become, just past the saccharin, cute tale of a small girl chasing goats across the Swiss Alps. This video was originally produced as part of the Anituber Anthology 4, an homage to the works of Isao Takahata. You can find the full video here: https://youtu.be/OUOp8FTcL2U

Perfect Blue is perhaps Satoshi Kon's most enduring work: a dark, twisted, unflinching look at Japan's idol industry.

Slice of Life is a genre that's prevalent in anime. Its comfortable, slower paced shows trade in emotional investment and payoff, and explore in detail the lives of others.

Catherine is a game quite unlike any other. On a surface level it explores themes of fidelity and compromise to the tune of titillating thrills, but beneath its lurid, provocative surface lies a far less sexy problem at the heart of modern day Japan. The video contains mild visual spoilers for Catherine, flashing lights and risqué imagery.

A Silent Voice was the right movie at the wrong time. Released in the shadow of one of the biggest animated movies of our generation, it could have easily lingered there and faded into obscurity. It's a testament to the power of A Silent Voice that, two years later, it's such a beloved and celebrated movie. In this video I take a look at the tremendous highs and heartbreaking lows of a film that says so much with silence. The video contains mild visual spoilers for A Silent Voice.
