Greetings, Curious Crowd! We continue our Studio Ghibli mini-series with the entire NC Crew as Roni, Jams, and Jen cross the iconic, My Neighbor Totoro off their lists! We go a little off the rails. Who does Totoro remind us of? Is Totoro actually the God of Death? Are we still humming the theme song? Listen to find out. Are you a fan of Ghibli? Let us know! And be sure to subscribe to our podcast wherever you may be listening.

And if you are interested this is the "God of Death" theory Rach still doesn't believe -> Is Totoro The Angel Of Death?! The My Neighbor Totoro Theory
