    For the better part of a decade, Beyond Ghibli has provided some of the most mature, thoughtful, and certainly best-edited perspectives on the artistic medium of anime to be found on YouTube. From the channel description:

    Beyond Ghibli is a celebration of Japanese media, be it anime, manga, video games or beyond!! These aren't reviews or critiques - instead, BG will be full of wholehearted recommendations; where newcomers can start their journey, and where veterans can find their next favourite . My videos are deep dives into some of the country's most beloved properties and explorations of their creation: from the minds that brought them to life, to the thoroughly Japanese culture and themes woven throughout. I hope you'll enjoy exploring it all with me!

    This work has culminated in the upcoming release of a new coffee table book by channel creator Joe O'Connell.

    If the channel is new to you, definitely see what catches your eye among the 60-ish videos, but I can suggest a few to jump into:
    Beyond Ghibli - A Look at Japan's Best Anime Directors
    The Art of the Anime Short
    A Ghost of Its Own - A Ghost in the Shell Series Retrospective
    The Herbivore and the Christmas Cake – A Full Bodied Critique of Catherine
    One-Inch - The Best of Asian Cinema
    Speed of Lightness - A Lo-Fi Look at Japan
    With Eyes Unclouded - How Studio Ghibli Inspired Breath of the Wild
    The Year of Yuasa
