Story x Story #178: Fly Me To The Moon (Millennium Actress)

This week, Nigel and Tazziii blur the lines between reality and fantasy as they chase dreams through time for a deep dive into the Satoshi Kon anime, Millennium Actress (starting at 16:50), with Content Creator Izzy Kento and Comic Creator Feff Silvers. We get to grips with this boundary-pushing narrative that explores the pursuit of love and goals in a way only the acclaimed late Japanese director can do. A simple plot carries a meaningful theme and we debate the expectation of anime among different audiences as we dig into the novel narrative structure that frames a love story for the ages. This week's storytelling tip is about establishing these themes in the opening sequence of your story. Other stories we're enjoying include: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Stardew Valley, Spy x Family: Code White, Baby Reindeer, Delicious in Dungeon, Avatar The Last Airbender Live Action, The Fall Guy, X-Men 97, Andor.
