The best way i can think of to describe finishing this series is like holding your breath under water until your lungs are burning and you’re panicking and then you come up to the surface and take great big gulps of refreshing air and the relief is overwhelming. If you’re thinking of bailing on this early then don’t.
The whole thing is a roller-coaster of mostly struggle with moments of humanity but that ending sequence is one of the most hopeful and positive and heart warming things i’ve seen in many a year (though the birthday message Ayumu receives did just about end me). I’ve never really got on with this flat, loose style of animation but it does work here and i got the impression some of it was rotoscoped but probably not.
So I know I’m on the record earlier in this thread as being fine with Infinity Train only being the one-off season that it was, but I think the creators have done a fabulous job of writing more stories about this wild place without really shaving off any of the mystery about it, and I’m super hype that they’re getting a fourth season.
I heartily recommend all three of the current seasons. They’re well worth your time, and only 10 15-minute episodes each, so it’s not a massive time commitment.
So, apparently there will be competing films about Shirley Chisholm’s 1972 presidential run now?
One with Danai Gurira:
And one with Regina King:
It is LONG past due that we get some Shirley Chisholm love on screen. I still have not seen Ms. America, but I heard that Uzo Aduba did a fantastic job playing her (I think she got an emmy?):
Weirdly I know tons about that shows production because I listen to Alice Weatherlund’s podcast but I haven’t seen any of it yet. Is it any good? The premise and trailer were promising.
