I'm back from Tokyo with a boatload of Yuri On Ice merchandise and a weird flu-like thing. Which means it's a perfect time to bask in some chill nostalgia and continue my mini-tour of the Ghibli Mumblecore years, talking about Isao Takahata's Only Yesterday (1991) with David Sims of The Atlantic and the Blank Check podcast. I had underrated it, and David sets me right! We also chat about the cringeiness of John Lasseter's anime advocacy, which Only Yesterday thankfully avoided.After that I do a brief solo recap of Yuri episodes 7 and 8. The kiss! The agony of Yuri P.! King JJ! These are a couple bangers, and I'm already sad to be on the downslope of the season. Subscribe to It's Cool To Like Anime on iTunes!
