Totto-Chan: The Little Girl at the Window is a visually beautiful and powerful depiction of war that shifts the perspective completely. Through the eyes of a child, audiences can experience what war time was like for young kids and how schools adjusted to the chaotic and brutal period. To celebrate its release at Scotland Loves Anime’s inaugural London event, and the fact it won the Jury Award, we had the absolute pleasure of talking to director Shinnosuke Yakuwa (Doraemon) about his experience bringing the celebrated memoir by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi to the big screen. A huge thanks to the wonderful folks…

So, with that in mind… Does Shadow go rogue causing Eggman to temporarily change sides? Or is there something we’re missing… Something darker. That’s enough theorising for now… Wasn’t that an…
