GITM 112: Rakugo Shinjuu - On The Death & Life Of Art | An Analysis
Description
I finally took the time to watch Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu and now I can't stop thinking about it! In this episode, I try to explore one of my favourite aspects of the anime in a bit more depth - the 'death' and 'life' of art. What does this entail? How does an art form or a piece of art 'die'? Is mecha anime dead? All this and more this week.
