If your week is dragging as slowly as mine, you'll be glad to get this serving of mid-week LAMB Chops to give you a boost. Today's Choice Chop comes from the blog Plus Trailers. It's the first part of an Anime marathon he has been taking part in with a friend of his who just started his own blog (at http://42review.blogspot.com, and is a LAMB-in-waiting).
They watched five films and then recorded their discussion on each as a type of mini podcast. What makes it interesting is that Tom of Plus Trailers is not an anime fan, while his buddy is. This makes for some good podcasting, especially for those of us that have yet to understand Japanese animation. Here's a snippet from their first post:
[We] decided to start off easy, with the films of Studio Ghibli, one of the most renowned and recognized (or so he tells me) producers of anime. Generally we'll be focusing on the films of Hayao Miyazaki, probably the most distingiushed director of anime in the history of the format. Some of his more well known films (at least to western audiences) include Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle. But Brett and I have started this marathon at the beginning, viewing and discussing the first five films produced by Studio Ghibli.
