113 Is Some Good Stuff Good, and Is Miyazaki Hayao Capable: 2024 Anime and Film Year-End Summary (Part 1)
The Year of the Dragon has passed and the Year of the Snake has arrived; the Spring Festival is here. With it comes the year-end summary (tǔ) (cáo) of anime and film that listeners have been eagerly anticipating and hosts have been preparing for. To summarize this year in a single sentence: every work has been praised, except for Detective Conan (theatrical version), which has been getting the flak…… Of course, this is not entirely fair, as Dune: Part Two, Metropolis, The Substance, and Gladiator II have also been criticized…… So, with a slight correction, a more fair statement would be: only Detective Conan (theatrical version) is still getting the flak. By contrast, the re-release of Crossroad of the Labyrinth naturally evokes a thousand feelings. Beyond that, whether it is the annual hit film Some Good Stuff or Miyazaki Hayao’s “swan song” The Boy and the Heron, both are key focuses of this episode, especially the discussions extended by the latter, which are as sharp as the heated debate over Attack on Titan. In short, in the new year, it is still the Leftover Talk you are familiar with, and still the year-end summary you like.

113 《好东西》好不好，宫崎骏行不行：2024动漫影视年终总结（上）
龙走蛇来，春节已至。随之而来的，是听友们翘首以盼、主播们摩拳擦掌的动漫影视年终总（tǔ）结（cáo）。简单一句话概括今年，就是：各种作品都被夸，只有柯南（剧场版）在挨骂…… 当然，这样说也不尽公允，毕竟同样挨骂的，还有《沙丘2》《大都会》《某种物质》《角斗士2》……所以，稍微修正一下，更公允的说法是：只有柯南（剧场版）依然在挨骂。两相对照，重映的《迷宫的十字路口》自是令人感慨万千。除此之外，无论是年度热门电影《好东西》，还是宫崎骏的“收官之作”《你想活出怎样的人生》，都是本期节目的重点关注，尤其是后者延伸出的讨论，尖锐程度堪比《巨人》激辩。总之，新的一年，仍然是你熟悉的《边角聊》，仍然是你喜欢的年终总结。
