In this episode of the TangleCast, David, Peter, and Holly jump back in time to review a time traveling classic, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. The image of Makoto leaping to the past has become iconic, but has this movie held up? And what can it teach us about the choices we make and the maturity it takes to push past discomfort for the sake of others? Join the team as they explore these themes, read your responses to the CQ, and do a special time travel edition of Guess the Anime!
