Ep 16 - Dear Brother - Part 1 (Spoiler-Free Edition!)

We're back with a supercast on the unmissable classic shoujo masterpiece Dear Brother (Oniisama e)! Joined by our friends Dawn (of the Anime Nostalgia podcast) and Diana, we talk about the show's rich history, its multi-genre nature, and what makes it such a master work—both within anime as a medium and in our own hearts. This episode is part 1 of 2, an entirely spoiler-free discussion of the history and creators of Dear Brother, as well as the stories, themes, and dramatic techniques the anime uses. Each one of us deeply loves this series and we hope to convince you to watch it before listening to part 2 (next episode in our feed), where there will be spoilers. **The anime of Dear Brother includes several heavy and sensitive topics, so before watching please note the following content warnings : Suicide and extensive suicidal ideation, drug addiction, abuse, bullying, disease, and romantic love between siblings. We discuss these warnings within the episode, but our discussion in Part 1 does not dwell on any of these topics.
