About this episode

The episode reviews the film 'Penguin Highway' and discusses its shortcomings in storytelling.

Penguins showing up in a Japanese town miles away from any ocean, coupled with other strange occurrences? Sounds like a compelling idea for a film, and the artwork looks amazing!But temper your expectations - Penguin Highway is unfortunately not a great example of Japanese storytelling, with logic frequently thrown to the wind and a heap of forgotten and unexplained plot points.So is it worth a watch? Guess you better listen to the episode!In general news, we're back on schedule with the brand refresh now mostly complete. However, this has resulted in Kyle making poor choices on what we watch two times in a row! If he messes up the episode after white day, he may have his weeb card confiscated lolVIDEOS!Kawaii-Fi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/KawaiiFiKyle’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KyleinOrbitTifa's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thetkennedy SUPPORT USPatreon: Patreon.com/KawaiiFiBuy us a Coffee: Ko-fi.com/kawaiifi JOIN THE KAWAII-FI COMMUNITYFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/KawaiiFiAnime/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kawaiifianime/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@kawaiifianimeTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kawaiifianimeDiscord…
