This week, Nigel and Tazziii get to grips with a time mechanic as we’re joined by Bish from GAL Podcasts for a deep dive into Mamoru Hosoda’s The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (starting at 31:14).
We salute the effective messaging delivered in this short runtime as we examine the themes on display and the way they are delivered through the light and humorous use of time manipulation. Tazziii is also on hand to help us navigate the mind of an adolescent girl discovering feelings of romantic love for the first time! In this episode’s storytelling tip, Nigel discusses how to create significant meaning in your story through low stakes.
Other stories we’re enjoying include: Chivalry of a Failed Knight, Lollipop Chainsaw, The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague, Blue Beetle, Sakamoto Days, Dr. Stone, and One Piece (Live Action).
