The movie, based off of a manga by Takashi Imashiro, focuses on a tween, Karen (#NotThatKaren), who is taken away from the city by her widower father and dropped off at a rural temple tended by her grandfather. The movie deals with the processing of loss and grief via a sense of sympathy as well as a nostalgia for youthful mischief, bolstered by supernatural elements, and makes fantastic use of ishōtenketsu structure to nail its finale.

Reuniting for the annual Anime Secret Santa project, Jared and Ink stuff your stocking with opinions about 2004&#8217;s Planetes via a special episode of Oldtaku no Radio. Thank you, Santa!!! The choices originally presented to Ink were Stars Align, Planetes, Godzilla Singular Point, and Project Blue Earth SOS. When Ink told Jared Planetes was gifted, the stars aligned, and both hosts, who previously only read the manga, decided they needed to watch and talk about the anime, which had been on their radar for years. Since Planetes takes place in space, we&#8217;ve formatted our review in line with our other Oldtaku in Space episodes (available to $5/month Ani-Gamers Patreon subscribers here).

We are back at it again with the light novels in this ninth episode of AGBC Part III. This time, we’re reading Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway, the story of a work freak who is rejected by his hot boss, so he decides to take in a high school runaway after shaving. Topics include criticisms of modern workplace culture, making mistakes you immediately begin regretting for the rest of your life, and lots of bickering at the end about Sword Art Online when we were supposed to mention the next book (it’s So I’m a Spider, So What? Vol. 2). Post in the Discord or pop off in the comments below on anything and everything AGBC and maybe we&#8217;ll talk about it on the next episode.
