This week on Story x Story, Nigel and Tazziii welcome G.Sus Coplay on for a deep dive into the incredibly animated world of Belle. We get to explore the real world of the rural Japan where trauma leads to growth, as well as the virtual world of U with all its parallels to our own online lives. This week’s storytelling tip is all about creating stories that exist in two different worlds.
Other stories we’re enjoying: Dorohedoro, Odd Taxi, Spy × Family, Kill Baxter. Showdown in Cape Town: Roman, Komi Can’t Communicate, Doll Face, Single Parents, Inside Job, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Love Death & Robots, Obi-Wan Kenobi
