Tokyo Signals - Escaflowne - Fateful Confession

One year after Catnapped CAPTURED our hearts, another anime was dropped into the hell pit know as “The Fox Box”, and this one was… actually one that me and my childhood best friend and life long anime companion Nick never saw. Due to an unfortunate time slot, we were already outside and running around the forest with water guns by the time those SWEET Casio tunes would kick off the show’s intro. So sit back and enjoy the show, as me and my best friend talk about this anime!

Special Thanks to Chris Degl (https://twitter.com/DEGL_TOONS) for recommending this classic!

Music composed by the excellent Pirates of the High Frequencies: https://phftapes.bandcamp.com

Episode 131 - Catnapped!

In 1995 the world was introduced to the greatest family adventure film to ever be animated. The movie had it all, action, a cool vehicle, and a rockin’ soundtrack that defined a generation. All while holding a dramatic story about family at its core… But we aren’t talking about a Goofy Movie today, instead we are talking about Catnapped! Another favorite of mine! So sit back and enjoy the show, before Kyle and I lose all our marbles!
