From space pirates to towering mechs and from the brightest colors and orchestrations to the most tragic tales drawn on screen, anime deserves its own Mount Rushmore. In this episode, Ed hosts Rachel, Matt, and Tino as they name the limelights of this genre. Creators, animators, and composers come up in this wide-ranging discussion. Let us know if you agree with our picks! Bonus: Find great songs from nominated composers in the links at the end of the show notes!
