Ep 27: YOUR NAME

We have a very special guest joining us for today's episode about the 2016 Japanese animated filmYour Name! Wesley, Miles' older brother is here to take the reins and lead us through Makoto Shinkai's story of a boy and a girl who switch bodies and make a special connection. We'll talk about Shinkai's background, the animation and art style of the film itself, the anime genre, and the success it had not only in Japan but in the United States as well. Whether you're a weeb like Miles and Wesley or unfamiliar with much Japanese animation like Moriah and Stephan, you're not going to want to miss this episode, so give it a listen now!
