The Plot
The guide offers detailed insights into each film's plot, themes, and artistic merit, enabling readers to appreciate the rich narratives and stunning visuals that characterise this unique art form. From box office hits such as Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Your Name to deeper cuts and hidden gems, Jake Cunningham and Michael Leader, hosts of the Ghibliotheque podcast, capture the essence of what makes anime a compelling medium.
Themes
