Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from James and myself.James pulls another tear-jerker out of nowhere with this month's watch along, Frienen Beyond Journey's End. Which is a delightful anime about an elf who does what most elves do, live a long time. In this anime, we watch the main character, Frienen, appear to stay roughly the same age as all the other members of her adventuring group grow older. How does she deal with this? Watch along and find out.

Jackie joins us after a bit of a break, to watch one of our favorite films of all time, the animated adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's #TheHobbit. This adaptation from the famed animation film studio Raken and Bass was released in 1977 and is, in our opinion, one of our favorite films to be released by them.
So join us as we wade into the shallow end of Middle Earth.

James and I watch a slightly disturbing alternate-history anime called Tanya the Evil, where magic and science are side by side in a World War 1-like universe. In this, Tanya looks like a small child commanding troops for the Empire, but she is far more than that.
