Third Impact Anime Episode #139 – Suzume

This movie kept us all on the edge of our three-legged seat. On this episode of the Third Impact Anime Podcast, we’re reviewing the latest film from acclaimed anime director Makoto Shinkai, Suzume! How does it hold up against his previous works? Is Shinkai still trying to tell the same story or has he broken away from his traditional format? And what’s up with all that product placement? Austin, Tori, Ryan, and Bill tell you all about it. Please enjoy!
