We tuned in expecting jokes and space hijinks.

What we got… was Seymour.

This wasn’t just a cartoon episode. It was a punch to the soul.

No dialogue. No manipulation. Just one dog… waiting.

Futurama showed us that animated stories could hit harder than real life.

Some of us still aren’t over it.

    In it’s original run in Japan it was shown together with My Neighbor Tororo, probably the happiest Ghibli movie, as a counterweight.

      Happiest Ghibli Movie:

      Mom’s going to die and Dad doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing half the time. A giant monster lives in the ghost tree behind your ash-haunted house.

      Bonus: You may have killed your little sister when you left her in the dust crying because her toddler legs couldn’t keep up with you.
