The crew reflects on the stylistic choices of anime, the impact of director Satoshi Kon, and the way the film handles themes like found family, redemption, and LGBTQ representation. Along the way, expect plenty of laughs, personal insights, and even some friendly score debates as the hosts dissect what sets "Tokyo Godfathers" apart as a holiday gem.
