Only Yesterday

Shoujo Sundae

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika review the 1991 Studio Ghibli film, Only Yesterday. Listen as the sundae girlies talk through the myriad of emotions they felt seeing these lyrical switches between Taiko’s life in her late twenties and her childhood. From Hirota’s adorable crush on her, to puberty, to family conflict in her past, and picking safflower, bonding with Toshio, and peer expectations in the present, Only Yesterday weaves a striking story about how one’s past shapes their future, and what it means to choose oneself.
