Randy and Jens check out the anime adaptation of Animal Crossing by Jōji Shimura, the director of Tamagotchi: The Movie (stay tuned for that one at some point in the future of this show). While they agree a valiant effort was made to adapt the game’s story, and to include as much fan-service and as many recognizable characters as possible, a spirited argument arises around the big questions “Who is it for?” and “Does it work as a movie?”
