The illustrious Studio Ghibli is one of the industry's preeminent leaders in theatrical anime, and standing at its center is the legendary animator and director, Hayao Miyazaki. Indeed, his name is almost synonymous with the studio itself thanks to his many mesmerizing films, from the whimsical My Neighbor Totoro to the sometimes grim and violent Princess Mononoke. But one work stands apart from his others--not because it's the best, but because it's the weirdest. And most inexplicable. And maybe...just maybe...a little bit flawed. For this podcast, we examine the beautifully rendered but often nonsensical, Ponyo. Does it honor the Ghibli brand? Or is this film just too fishy for its own good?
