Shinichiro Watanabe's anime projects have repeatedly exploded in popularity worldwide. Baby Blue, his short from the anthology film Genius Party, is not one of those projects. And that's a shame, so in this video, I want to talk about Baby Blue, and why I've loved it since first watching it over a decade ago.
