If wasn’t just yesterday I wouldn’t mind this being a repeat as it is pretty cool.

I read “Oregon Trail”. Now I want to see Oregon Trail with Studio Ghibli graphics. Who knew that dysentery could be adorable!

Now I want to see this but with all the ways unregulated capitalism and corruption would alter it.

Love it, shared it with my family last night.

The second still above looks to me like a particularly specific homage to My Neighbor Totoro; it’s framed very much like the opening scene where the family is driving to their new house.

The vintage Fiat 500 is a nice touch.

Those were the tree of white supremacy and they had to go.

I for one approve our new Travel Overlord Collaboration with GHIBILI and MADhouse and possibly GAINAX. (And the AirBnB needs me to know where the Tanuki distraction devices are about the place.)

They went the diversity route, it looks like, going with an international team.

Fred Armisen has the hands-down best Finding Your Roots episode ever.
