Marco DVD Complete Box Set

We need to declare a new genre of anime, right here and now. There needs to be a separate category for the metric ton of overwrought family fare Japan makes, that aims to be Studio Ghibli in quality, but ends up succumbing to its maudlin sentimentality and ends up a soppy, joyless, somber and bland exercise in boring young children to tears. Japan has made dozens of these films over the years. They usually feature a drippy ballad performed by a washed up English-speaking pop singer like Julian Lennon or Susan Boyle.
