KFR 107: The Cat Returns! But where did he go?

WE’RE BACK!This episode, we dive into an under-appreciated Studio Ghibli film that started its production run as something incredibly different!The Cat Returns may not be the first film to jump to mind when you think of big Ghibli productions, and it had an unusual start to its existence – as a spin off project commissioned after Whisper of the Heart was released!So why the character overlap? Is this an interconnected Ghibli Universe? And why is this English dub so incredible???Answers to all these questions, plus what we’ve been watching this season and a library worth of anime news for us to talk about in this episode!Also, apologies for that unplanned hiatus – Kyle is feeling much better now and is back on deck!VIDEOS!Kawaii-Fi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/KawaiiFiKyle’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KyleinOrbitTifa's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thetkennedySUPPORT USPatreon: Patreon.com/KawaiiFiBuy us a Coffee: Ko-fi.com/kawaiifiJOIN THE KAWAII-FI COMMUNITYTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kawaiifianimeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kawaiifianime/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KawaiiFiAnime/Twitter: https://twitter.com/kawaiifianimeDiscord: https://discord.gg/p9ccFx8vTQLISTEN ELSEWHERE?Smart Link: https://link.chtbl.com/KawaiiFiSpotify: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiSpotifyApple: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiAppleEPISODE SEGMENTS00:00:00 – Show Opener00:03:02 – What We’re Watching00:30:03 – Miyazaki – The Cat Returns00:56:51 – Anime Communique01:21:13 – Show OutroTags:anime,podcast,anime news,anime podcast,anime reviews,anime recommendation,Studio Ghibli,The Cat Returns,Reborn as a Vending Machine,Helck,My Blissful Marriage,My Happy Marriage,Sugar Apple Fairy Tale,Zom 100,Whisper of the Heart,Tsukihime,Suzume,Miyazaki,How Do You Live,The Boy and the Heron,
