About this episode

The episode marks the premiere of a new series dedicated to Studio Ghibli, starting with Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

Calling all Tolmekians: it’s a series premiere!!!! Today we take flight with the Princess of the Valley of the Wind for our new Studio Ghibli series. What a dream (of madness)! For the next few months we’ll be fully devoted to the works of Miyazaki, Takahata, and the entire Ghibli collective. We hope you’ll join us in the Sea of Decay! The water is fine (it’s only mildly acidic and poisonous).
